Michael Chaves, the director behind “The Nun 2,” revealed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly that he made the film even gorier after a test screening proved that audiences craved a higher level of violence. <\/p>\n
“People wanted more violence,” Chaves said. “There was already a good<\/em> degree of violence and gore in the movie, but people wanted more of it.”<\/p>\n The film, which had its theatrical release on Sept. 8, follows Sister Irene (Taissa Fargima) as she faces supernatural forces following the murder of a priest in 1956 France. Chaves explained how the crew behind the film, which is a part of the long-running “The Conjuring” franchise, put in extra work to increase the carnage.<\/p>\n “So, we did a little bit of additional photography and we ramped that up. It just goes to show how audiences are always changing, evolving. Even in the earliest version, it was more [violent] than what was in your traditional ‘Conjuring’ movie,” he said.<\/p>\n He added that his team was more than amenable to the desires of horror fans. <\/p>\n “I think horror audiences have been on this journey, this horror renaissance, where they’ve seen a lot of horror movies, they’ve seen a lot of violence. It’s something they wanted more of and we gladly gave it,” he continued.<\/p>\n Chaves, who previously directed 2021’s “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,” also discussed how working on the popular horror franchise affects his sleep. <\/p>\n “My ‘Conjuring’ nightmares usually center around the logistics of work and schedule,” he said. “Even with a great schedule and an amazing crew, it still seems like you never quite have enough time and my dreams usually center around that.”<\/p>\nRead More About:<\/h4>\n
