‘The Nun’ Trailer Reveals the Darkest Chapter of the ‘Conjuring’ Universe

It’s a pretty big claim, but Warner Bros has dropped the first trailer for “The Nun” and it claims to be the darkest part chapter in the “Conjuring” universe so far.  I don’t know, did they see the first “Annabelle”? That was pretty dark and dire.

“The Nun” examines the origins of the creepy Nun figure from “The Conjuring 2.”  It makes sense that they would be so eager to tap into this character as it had an immediate pull with audiences in the same way that Annabelle had when she was first introduced in “The Conjuring.”  The new film takes us way back in time before even the newest “Annabelle” movie where .  .  .

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.

The new film is being directed by Corin Hardy who last directed “The Hallow.”  Check out the trailer down below.
