Overview

The Nun is a 2018 film directed by Corin Hardy. The production features actors Demián Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, and Bonnie Aarons. The plot follows a priest with a dark, haunted past and a novice who is nearing the threshold of her final vows. These two individuals are sent by the Vatican to Romania to investigate the death of a young nun. During their investigation, they must confront a malevolent force that manifests in the form of a demonic nun. By definition, a nun is a woman belonging to a religious order who typically lives under solemn vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. These individuals dedicate their lives to religious service and contemplation, often residing within the enclosure of a monastery or convent. While the term generally refers to religious practitioners, the film focuses on a specific supernatural threat encountered by the representatives of the Vatican during their mission in Romania.
