Director Michael Chaves Invites Fans to "The Nun II"

In a newly released video, “The Nun II” director Michael Chaves shares that this year marks the tenth anniversary of the “The Conjuring” Universe, adding that “The Nun’s” demonic Valak is hands-down his most favorite movie monster of all. He then proceeds to invite all horror fans to watch “The Nun II.”
New Line Cinema brings you the horror thriller “The Nun II,” the next chapter in the story of “The Nun,” the highest grossing entry in the juggernaut $2 billion “The Conjuring” Universe. As a treat to fans of scary movies, “The Nun II” will hold simultaneous midnight screenings in participating cinemas on September 6 (also the film’s opening day). Fans can get their tickets now at https://www.nun2.com.ph/
“I'm really excited for audiences to see this movie, and I think that it is nightmarishly scary,” says Michael Chaves in an interview provided by the studio. “I love the theater-going experience, especially with horror movies. Being in a packed theater with friends and strangers is such an incredible and powerful experience. Along with the scares, it is filled with truly unique set pieces and a compelling story that takes characters whom we love further on their journey and into really hard places while making tough choices. The times that I've seen it with an audience have been really special and exciting, and I can't wait for moviegoers to see this film.”
On his fascination with Valak, Chaves shares, “I think that the Demon Nun is one of those iconic movie monsters. I mean, you see it on a poster and it’s like a little bit of a throwback to Dracula. You see a little bit of Pennywise. You see a little Nosferatu. It's so timeless and has such an iconic look. It's one of the ultimate horror movie icons and one of the ultimate movie villains. With this film, I just wanted to take it further. I wanted to explore the manifestations. And I also just wanted to dig more into the story, or at least the myth or the theories, of what its origins could be. I think it's really important to do that, but to never be too specific. I think that part of the mystery and part of not knowing what it is, that’s really powerful. It's what makes it truly scary.”

THE NUN movie review

Warner Bros. backtracks the story of The Conjuring universe in The Nun, which chronicles the Vatican investigation on the death of a congregation of nuns in a secluded monastery in Romania knowing that a strong evil power breaks free from containment.
The Nun is dominantly dark, evil and a test of faith with lots of jump scares but somehow predictable. Set is amazing and the evil of Valak is really scary but I thought that somehow effects are simpler than The Conjuring movies. Check out the abyss and you won't even dare to take the journey by yourself. It's like there's no higher power can save you from the bad spirit lurking in and you better leave right away as the sisters say.
They injected a few humor to the story which I thought spoiled the who scary experience. But it's nice to see Ed and Lorraine Warren not left out by the end and some familiar faces in The Conjuring universe. Watch The Nun today in theaters near you.

ANNABELLE: CREATION movie review



Now you must have somebody with you when you watch it on cinemas starting August 23. Warner Bros has strongly established that Annabelle will be your worst nightmare and will haunt you until the next day after seeing it. With Annabelle: Creation, the horrific doll has birthed the newest kind of evil that will lead our senses to the darkness we had never imagined.
The origin of Annabelle has been clearly narrated in this movie and it's almost a giveaway. I cannot divulge but you will be served as one of the best scares this year. Some of the scares were actually predictable but you will see something worse or better. The deafening silence of the scenes make me shrinking in my seat and I actually came pale out of the cinema after watching. If you have a doll with you while watching it, you better keep a good eye on it in the future.
And don't miss those extra scenes by the credits. Annabelle: Creation has began creating its own movie universe and it promises more frightening sequels. You'll also notice very familiar elements if you are into this horror flick.

Annabelle: Creation is directed by David Sandberg. Sandberg directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman, who also wrote Annabelle. The film stars Stephanie Sigman (Spectre), Talitha Bateman (The 5th Wave), Lulu Wilson (Ouija: Origin of Evil), Philippa Coulthard (After the Dark), Grace Fulton (Badland), Lou Lou Safran (The Choice), Samara Lee (The Last Witch Hunter), Tayler Buck in her feature film debut, with Anthony LaPaglia (TV’s Without a Trace) and Miranda Otto (Showtime’s Homeland, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy). Opens in Philippine theaters, August 23.

And check out the Annabelle doll in cinema lobbies where you can take a closer encounter with her.

THE CONJURING movie review

the most anticipated horror movie of the season has tested my bravery and i admit that i wasn't able to control myself in watching THE CONJURING. opening the most-kept secret of the Warrens, Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga), about a haunting in Rhode Island, creeps audience from the trailer up to its full length movie.

i was hesitant about going to the cinema and watch this movie. but i already had decided to push it through and besides, i have other cowards with me watching it, hehe. when i saw videos on documentaries about related topics on the Warren Museum of Demonology and the Annabelle doll, at least it toned down the scares in me when i saw the movie. it was another case of haunting and possession, which family members are greatly affected in the increasing terror of the demon living inside the Perrons' house.
i somehow believed that such paranormal occurrences may happen anywhere. and it got ever scarier when finding out that this was a true story. i saw James Wan's Insidious and i was really scared at it. i was rolling down at my seat when horror intensifies. accept the dare to see The Conjuring and you'll be sleeping with your lights on and a companion beside you. it's just that i'm so sleepy and i just ignored the scares.

the special effects are well done as well as the prosthetics. but i guess Insidious was a lot scarier than this. The Conjuring gives horror but in a surprising way that your heart won't skip a beat. for the actors, i appreciated Lili Taylor's acting as Caroline Perron who was gradually attacked by the demon. i wonder how she feels doing that.

there were some scenes that made me annoyed though i cannot justify whether it's needed in the development of the story no matter what. like how a daughter gets attracted to the Warrens' assistant and how the guard was lured in by a ghost. i just didn't feel it was okay. it was more scarier if they had made a movie where the Annabelle doll was terrorizing. she was just a medium to take a fight against Lorraine Warren, i guess.

one thing more, the movie greatly promotes Catholicism which is very much present in any movie that fights evil.
well you have to check it out in the movies which opens August 21. directed by James Wan, The Conjuring is produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema. distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures (Philippines)

meet the Warrens

i'm watching every The Conjuring trailer that i see and to know more about the story about this paranormal case, i came across a featurette about the investigators that experienced the horror and took into account. the Warrens, Ed and Lorraine, have documented these occurrences and we are to experience them into this movie, The Conjuring. the two have been tracking paranormal activities together since and trying to solve hauntings and stopping them. owners of the Warren Occult Museum that stands in Connecticut, USA.
following the story of the Perron family in a haunted farm house in Rhode Island by 1971, the Warrens narrate the experiences in the investigation and warns us of hauntings in different places. for me the movie itself would torment the weak. i don't know how am i going to prepare for this but faith would be my shield. below shows Lorraine Warren's interview about paranormal investigations that she had and centering on the thrilling story of the Perrons.
The Conjuring opens August 21 in theaters nationwide. directed by James Wan under Warner Bros. Pictures. starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Lorraine and Ed Warren.
