Pray For Forgiveness
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.
Critics Reviews for The Nun
- “It's lush, operatic, hardcore Catholic horror from the depths of "The Omen” and “The Exorcist,” with hints of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's “Black Narcissus,” washed with medieval overtones. And it's a total, screaming blast." – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
- “There are creepy crypts aplenty and a graveyard with bell-equipped coffins just in case anyone gets buried alive (alas, the transgressive sexuality of the era's more extreme nunsploitation flicks is off the table).” – Michael Gingold, Time Out
- “Rather than grandiose and ponderous, The Nun is workaday, lunch pail gothic, getting the job done with the energy of a factory floor.” – Andrew Whalen, Newsweek
- “The Nun comes closest to its ideal form of go-to midnight-movie, the fun younger cousin of the Conjuring movies with less build-up but more of the money shots you'll come to a theater to see.” – Dana Schwartz, Entertainment Weekly
- “It's good clean fun nevertheless, and the set pieces expertly supply the tension-and-release satisfactions of the genre” – Harry Windsor, Hollywood Reporter
