When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest (Demian Bichir) with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows (Taissa Farmiga) 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

creepy spin off of conjuring 2
Delivered in prime next day. Bought to review on blu ray and add to collection. watched before and find it gripping intense. Plot orginates from a abbey stems from romania in which a young nun takes her own life. A priet with a haunted past and novitilate on threshold of final vows are sent by vatican to look over probing together they uncover a wicked evil secret risking not only lifes but faith. Sone hair raising intense scenes that hives impression something sinister harmful will occur. Worth a watch again for night in.

THE NUN DVD
The DVD is good quality - it needs to be as a lot of the film is set in semi or almost complete darkness. It is a sort of prequel (?) to "The Conjuring" 2 films, and isn't quite up to their standard in the fright stakes. I find it annoying and frustrating when a director thinks VERY loud noises that make us jump are a substitite for genuine shocks. "The Nun" though, does have it's share of noise and shocks and works pretty well. The setting is very "Hammerish" - a remote sinister abbey only accessed by foot deep in a forest. A village with terrified locals and a priest and novitiate who investigate a suicide at the nunnery. Dimian Bichir (no me neither) is very wooden as the priest but Taissa Farmiga (sister of Vera from "Conjuring") is just right. When the scares come they mostly work, but less noise next time. Good fun and well worth seeing, just not a 5 star for me. Good sound and subtitles. (The Nun herself is still a scene stealer!)

Good old fashioned horror!
If you love old fashioned horror i.e., whirling mist, darkness lit by gaslamps, scary music and so on, this is the type of horror flick for you!Ok it's a little light on plot but it's so well made and The Nun is one of the best horror characters in a very long time- I just wish we'd seen more of her in this film.I was scared and really enjoyed it!

Watchable
This is a watchable film, however it's very predictable, not much in character background. The FX are good as is the story line, just seems to be something missing.
