The film has received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the performances and atmosphere, while others criticizing the predictability of the story.
"The Nun II is a familiar haunting," writes critic David Ehrlich for IndieWire. "It's a well-made film with some genuinely scary moments, but it's also a by-the-numbers sequel that doesn't do much to expand the mythology of the first film."
"The Nun II is a missed opportunity," writes critic Peter Travers for Rolling Stone. "It has all the makings of a great horror film, but it's let down by a predictable story and lackluster scares."
Despite the mixed reviews, The Nun II is expected to be a box office success.
