A priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.
When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows 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.Written by

(at around 11 mins) When Father Burke and Sister Irene arrive at the house of Maurice, you can see a white light switch on the outer wall of the house. This is highly unlikely because houses in most villages in Romania in 1952 did not have electricity and relied on petrol lamps. National electrification of villages began in the '60s. See more »
It seems like, in The Conjuring 2, the writers just thought: "a monster in a nun costume - that seems really cool!"
Then, when they try to build a story around it, they can't get the square peg to fit in the round hole.
It's a nun monastery in Romania. And a demon called Valak. But why is he running around in a nun costume? That story doesn't get developed enough.
A good ghost story always have a mystique and history, but this movie doesn't deliver in that aspect. Instead they seem just to rely on jump scares and cheap thrills.
