Set in 1952 Romania where a nun commits suicide while being pursued by something demonic. So the Vatican assigns a priest and a young, soon-to-be nun to investigate the incident - sending them to a cursed abbey out in the woods. A series of 'spooky' things go down before the inevitable face-off with the evil nun transpires...
If you consider that a spoiler you should definitely familiarize yourself with modern mainstream horror a bit because that's about what you can expect from the majority of these types of films. Nothing too crazy or unexpected here. Lots of jump-scares and general noise, but honestly, I didn't totally end up hating this one. The atmosphere is decent and I thought the devil-nun looked kinda neat. Also, Patrick Wilson is barely in it, which is a total PLUS. That guy is a complete fucking bore. As much as a hated "The Conjuring" movies and those boring doll spin-offs, "The Nun" is a small step up as far as these standard, repetitive James Wan flicks go.
