Sister Victoria hangs herself to escape demonic entity
Irene discovers she was praying alone all along
The film drops significantly during the middle act's overreliance on jump scares before recovering with the Conjuring universe connection.
The Nun starts strong with atmospheric horror and good performances, particularly from Taissa Farmiga, but suffers from an overreliance on cheap jump scares and underdeveloped plot elements in the middle sections. Critics consistently praised the visual design and cinematography while criticizing the weak dialogue and predictable scares, though the connection to The Conjuring universe provided a satisfying conclusion.
