explores another dark corner of the "Conjuring" universe, whose record-setting films have terrified audiences around the globe.
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.

A Better Life) as Father Burke, Taissa Farmiga (TV's
American Horror Story) as Sister Irene, and Jonas Bloquet (
Elle) as local villager Frenchie. The cast also includes Charlotte Hope (TV's

Toni Erdmann) as Sister Oana, and Bonnie Aarons, reprising her
Conjuring 2 role as the title character.
