The Nun
TBC
Terror awaits when a novitiate and priest investigate a mysterious suicide in Romania
DIRECTOR Corin Hardy
starring Taissa Farmiga,
Bonnie Aarons, Demián Bichir
Aided by a haunting
performance from
Taissa Farmiga
(younger sister of Academy
Award nominee Vera), the
latest chapter in The Conjuring
series is the most chilling yet.
It’s set in 1952 Romania,
nearly two decades before
demonologists Ed and Lorraine
Warren were contacted by
the troubled Perron family
in the original Conjuring
movie, and 25 years prior to the
events of The Conjuring 2, of
which this film has direct ties.
Farmiga is Sister Irene,
a novitiate who joins forces
with secretive Catholic priest

CONJURING
UP A KILLING
The Nun is the
fifth film in the
terrifying Conjuring
universe, which first
slithered into life
in 2013 with
the release of
The Conjuring. This
was followed in
2014 by Annabelle,
The Conjuring 2 in
2016 and Annabelle:
Creation in 2017.
The franchise has
to date taken
more than $1.2
billion globally.
– The Hateful Eight) to
investigate the mysterious
suicide of a young nun.
At Carta Monastery, the
isolated abbey where she
took her life, they uncover
the Order’s terrifying secret
– a demonic force that’s
anything but Godly. As the
Mother Superior puts it:
“The abbey has a long history.
Not all good...” Can Sister
Irene and Father Burke
prevent this wicked creature
from striking again?
Spookily set and superbly
acted, with a few corking twists
up its sleeve, this is another
skin-crawling triumph for
The Conjuring franchise.
Be warned though: you’ll
be praying for release by the
end of it – it’s that scary!
