I like this film because it is fully engaged with the conceits of the movie without a wink or a nod.

A very apt example of smothering its interesting ideas in the service of overly complicated worldbuilding.

Kwon also sets up fantastic opportunities that he fails to take advantage of throughout. One huge shame is that the film washes away the gains it makes with the new gendered angle by making the two nuns ideologically void.

While not a perfect successor, Dark Nuns proves this universe has more compelling stories to tell, leaving the door open for a third installment that could, hopefully, find the perfect balance between old faith and new.
