Storyline

In the 1950s in small-town Georgia, a pregnant young woman named Agatha seeks refuge in a convent. What first starts out as the perfect place to have a child turns into a nightmare wherein silence is forced, ghastly secrets are masked, and every bit of willpower Agatha has is tested as she learns the sick and twisted truth of the convent and the odd people that lurk inside its halls.

Goofs

When Mary/Agatha is going through Mother Superior's desk she happens upon a stack of money. At the top of the stack is a modern $100 bill with the enlarged face of Benjamin Franklin. These bills were not put into circulation until 1996, which is, at the very minimum 40 years after this film is said to have taken place.

User Reviews

Nun for you

You may be fed up with movies about nuns or you may be excited for them. Now that is something for you to decide. But when it comes to the horror, this is quite decent. Also try not to compare it with the Nun itself (the Conjuring universe one that is), although I do think that both have their merits and are about on the same level for different reasons.

Now this is more down and dirty, while the other one is more glossy. This also has quite a few cliches in it. If you can deal with them, mixed with very weak character choices (though some may call them "real", at least under the circumstances), than this movie will be entertaining and it will have you on the edge of your seat.
