WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1952 Romania, a nun at a cloistered abbey takes her own life, causing the Vatican to send Father Burke (Bichir), a priest with a haunted past, and Sister Irene (Farmiga), a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows, to investigate. As they uncover the disturbing secrets of the abbey, both of them soon confront a frightening and malevolent demon that guises itself in the form of a nun…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

That freaky film-stealing demon nun from The Conjuring 2 gets her own movie, which goes more into detail about where she – or it – comes from and how it ends up causing havoc in the world of the living.
