The Nun finally hit theatres on Friday, September 7, 2018. Many people have been waiting for this movie since the nun herself first appeared in the Conjuring 2, leaving everyone who watched it with questions about who she was, why she was in the movie, and how was she connected to the rest of the Conjuring franchise. The film started off by telling the viewers what they were about to see is based off of true events that actually took place in Romania in the 1950s. Throughout the movie bits and pieces of how the nun came to be were shared along with the history of the land of the real-life church. The movie does a good job of showing her timeline, however, it leaves you with questions. In the last scene two demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren, from both Conjuring movies appear on the screen and you finally get to connect this movie with all the others, but will leave you with even more questions. Overall, the movie is not up to par with most superior horror films, relying soley on tension building and a few jump scares here and there, but nothing an average horror fan can’t handle.
