What happens

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. It serves as a spiritual spin-off to The Conjuring 2 and is the fifth installment in The Conjuring shared universe. The film stars Taissa Farmiga, Demián Bichir and Jonas Bloquet, with Bonnie Aarons reprising her role as the Demon Nun, an incarnation of Valak, from The Conjuring 2. The plot follows a Roman Catholic priest and a nun in her novitiate as they uncover an unholy secret in 1952 Romania. Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema announced The Nun, a spin-off film to The Conjuring 2, which had opened five days earlier, with Peter Safran and Wan producing. The film's initial script was by David Leslie Johnson. Hardy had signed on to direct The Nun with a new screenplay by Wan and Dauberman. Principal photography began in May 2017 in Bucharest, Romania. The Nun was released in the United States on September 7, 2018. It received negative reviews and grossed $366 million worldwide off a $22 million budget, and was the highest-grossing film in the franchise until the release of The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025). A sequel, The Nun II, was released in 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
