Since we’re celebrating horror movies on DT this month, we decided to revisit all the horror movies from The Conjuring Universe and rank them from worst to first.
8. The Nun (2018)
It’s easy to see why nun Became the second spinoff from Magical Movies. When Bonnie Aarons is in full makeup as the demonic nun, Valak, she is truly terrifying.

5. The Life II (2023)
to be honest, life second This is very unnecessary and didn’t really need to be done to fill in any backstory after the first film. If anything, the story of the nun’s reappearance magic 2 Now even more complicated after the events of life second, But it’s admittedly a better film than its predecessor, thanks largely to the introduction of Storm Reid as Sister Debra, a young novice who is having trouble keeping her faith.
