Sister Irene is a young woman training to become a nun. The Vatican pairs her with Father Burke, a priest with a hard past, and sends them to a lonely abbey in Romania in 1952. A nun has died there, and something evil seems to haunt the place. The film is a dark, scary horror story full of shadows, demons, and jump scares.
Irene and Burke learn the abbey hides an ancient demon named Valak that wears a nun’s habit. Irene must lean on her faith, her courage, and holy objects while the demon tries to break her mind and soul. A local helper named Frenchie joins them as they try to seal a doorway to evil that was opened long ago. The story turns on good against evil, doubt against belief, and the cost of staying true to God when fear is everywhere.
