TheNun is a 2018 horror film directed by Corin Hardy and written by Gary Dauberman. A spin-off from the Conjuring franchise, it focuses on the origin of the terrifying demonic entity Valak, glimpsed in Conjuring 2. Starring Taissa Farmiga, Demian Bichir and Bonnie Aarons, the film is set in a remote Romanian abbey where a nun has committed suicide under mysterious circumstances. Available on Netflix from July 2, 2025, it enriches the universe of the Conjuring Universe with a plunge into sacred... and cursed territory.
The Nun will be available on Netflix from July 2, 2025 and already on Max.
The official trailer for The Nun plunges viewers into the darkness of an isolated convent, where evil prowls in the guise of a nun with a chilling gaze.
Synopsis: In 1952, in a Romanian abbey, a young nun commits suicide in appalling circumstances. The Vatican immediately dispatches Father Burke, a priest with a troubled past, accompanied by Sister Irene, an unconsecrated novice. Their mission: to investigate these troubling facts. They soon discover that the abbey conceals an ancient evil incarnated by a demonic force: the nun Valak. This sacred site becomes the scene of a supernatural confrontation between faith and damnation.
The Nun is aimed at fans of supernatural horror films and the Conjuring universe. This Gothic-style spin-off emphasizes oppressive atmosphere, eerie religious settings and demonic manifestations. It will appeal to a discerning audience fond of possessions, curses and disturbing religious investigations. Audiences who enjoyed Annabelle, The Exorcist or Midnight Mass may find familiar codes in a more baroque, European setting.
The film is directed by Corin Hardy, known for The Sanctuary, and scripted by Gary Dauberman, author of Annabelle and Ça (2017). Produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, the film is the fifth opus in the Conjuring universe in order of production, but chronologically comes before all the others. It was filmed in Romania, in authentic locations that reinforce the religious and historical dimension. The demonic character of Valak is played by Bonnie Aarons, who already appeared in Conjuring 2, and Taissa Farmiga plays a novice confronted with her visions and the reality of evil.
TheNun is a dark and terrifying extension of the Conjuring universe, focusing on the origin of the demon Valak. With its gothic ambience, classic horror effects and exploration of the limits of faith, the film stands out as a landmark chapter for fans of religious horror films. Available on Netflix from July 2, 2025, it completes the Warren mythology with a chilling plunge into the darkness of an evil-ridden convent.
