The Nun

Witness the Darkest Chapter in The Conjuring Universe.


The Nun
When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorized audiences in ’The Conjuring 2,’ as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned. This film is releasing in 2D, IMAX and 4DX. This is the 2D version.

What the Critics say

Ilan Preskovsky quote iconEven at a brief 94-minutes, The Nun is a punishingly boring waste of time and money that should be the final nail in the coffin of this increasingly rotten film series.

Tomatometer quote iconThe Nun boasts strong performances, spooky atmospherics, and a couple decent set-pieces, but its sins include inconsistent logic and narrative slackness.
