THE NUN-2018-A priest, Father Burke
(Damian Birchir) and a young nun Irene (Taissa Farmiga) go to Romania
to investigate the suicide of a nun at an abbey there. Local yokel
Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) who found the body takes them there. They
meet the abbess (Gabrielle Downy) who seems evil and tells them to
come back tomorrow. Later the priest relates a tale of an exorcism he
did years before. Then after he sees a figure vomiting a snake he's
buried alive. Irene finds him and in a scene reminiscent of Fuchi's
THE GATES OF HELL, digs him out. Meanwhile Frenchie survives a demon
attack and learns that many horrible things are happening in town
including the suicide of a 12 yr old girl. Later Irene meets Sister
Ouana (Ingrid Bisu) who relates how a duke opened up a gateway to
hell. Fortunately The Church interceded and using the blood of Christ
sealed the gate. Later crazy things happen and Irene has lots of
visions. A decrepit nun attacks them. When Frenchie rejoins them, the
trio must close the gate to Hell using some more of Christ's blood.
Irene becomes possessed for a while and several demonic nuns attack.
The three succeed in their quest but 20 years later The Warrens (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) from THE CONJURING “universe” are telling about the demonic possession case of Maurice aka Frenchie. Besides Fuchi, parts of this also reminded me of THE SENTINEL.There's lots of false scares and some scenes and dialogue make no sense. Director Corin Hardy made videos and shorts earlier and one other horror movie THE HALLOW.
Thanks for reading!
