"The Nun" Is Showing In These Cinemas

The Nun is a 2018 American gothic supernatural horror film directed by Corin Hardy and written by Gary Dauberman, from a story by Dauberman and James Wan. A spin-off of 2016's The Conjuring 2, and the fifth installment in The Conjuring Universe, the film stars Taissa Farmiga, Demián Bichir, Bonnie Aarons and Jonas Bloquet. The plot follows a priest and a Catholic novitiate as they uncover an unholy secret in 1952 Romania.

The 97-minute thriller stars Taissa Farmiga, Demián Bichir, and Jonas Bloquet.
In 1952 Romania, two nuns living at the Cârța Monastery are attacked by an unseen presence. The surviving nun, Sister Victoria, flees from the attacker and hangs herself by jumping out of a window. Her body is discovered soon after, by Frenchie, a man tasked with transporting supplies to the nuns.

The Vatican learns of the incident and dispatches one of its problem-solving priests, Father Burke, to investigate, along with young novitiate Sister Irene. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret.
Risking not only their lives but their faith and their souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorised audiences in The Conjuring 2, as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.

Filmmaker James Wan, the director of the record-setting horror hits The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, explores another dark corner of that universe with The Nun. Directed by Corin Hardy (The Hallow), the new fright-fest is produced by Wan and Peter Safran, who has produced all the films in The Conjuring franchise. It was also written by Gary Dauberman.

The Nun was released in the United States on September 7, 2018, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It has grossed over $173 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its performances and atmosphere but criticism for its narrative and reliance on jump scares. Check it out at Filmhouse Cinemas nationwide and be sure to let us know what you think about it.
