Sure, why not continue this prequel to the sequel to the main series?
Picking up from the previous movie, the Nun is about and hunting after... a complete McGuffin of an item, to be honest. And Sister Irene from the first movie is also in this, as are some other characters, and we have a surprising revelation about her past that is as believable as it is baldly inserted into the script.
We spend the first half of this movie with characters experiencing all sorts of visions, so we are prepared not to believe anything we see.. and then spend the second half of the movie running away from things that are there. Not much really happens (although a lot more happens, in a far more interesting way, than in the first movie), making this movie feel like a lot of filler in the bigger arc. If you are going to have the Nun around, and know that it appears in the (second?) Conjuring movie, you know that whatever happens here is a stopgap at best, so while we have the fight to see if these current characters can survive, we know the "big bad" will only be mildly inconvenienced. And we do get the hint at the end that this sub-franchise will continue.
Still, there's adequate performances all around (no-one is really standing out) and hey, I see that Susan Pensieve grew up! Apparently the magazine sequence was done practically, so well done for that.
I'm not sure who will be wanting to see this, but there are worse ways to spend time.
