Find out why this horror movie is, ‘second to Nun’

NUN2

If you’re a big fan of jump scares and panic sweats, first of all– are you OK? Second, we’ve got great news for you – the sequel to monochrome habitual scare fest, The Nun opened in cinemas last week and (apparently this is a good thing for horror fans) is touted as being even more terrifying than the first, terrifying film. Terrifying. To prove it, they hooked The Nun II preview audiences in the UAE and KSA up to a cardiac monitor and measured their heart rates throughout the film. They recorded an average 60 per cent increase in cinema-goers heart rates. That’s basically exercise. Forget the treadmill, if you want to drop those extra pounds, set yourself up with a The Nun marathon instead. You might have to sleep with the lights on for a month but it’s a price worth paying.
