Yesterday we got a poster, today, actual footage. The teaser Trailer for Corin Hardy’s The Conjuring spin-off, The Nun has dropped today.

The new teaser trailer for The Nun certainly sets expectations high. The trailer depicts Taissa Farmiga (daughter of Vera Farmiga, star of the first 2 Conjuring movies) as a nun who has being haunted by visions of a demonic nun since she was a child. The trailer builds to footage of Farmiga walking through a dark hallway as a rather creepy Nun approaches.

Who is The Nun?

The Nun will be the 5th instalment in The Conjuring universe. The Conjuring (2013), Annabelle (2014), The Conjuring 2 (2016) and Annabelle: Creation (2017) all preceded. The official synopsis for The Nun reads

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. The abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.

The Nun stars Demian Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Charlotte Hope and Ingrid Bisu. Bonnie Aarons is reprising her Conjuring 2 role as the title character. The film is directed by Corin Hardy with production by series stalwart James Wan.

With the unveiling of both the poster & trailer for The Nun, I can safely say I’m onboard. The footage shown is sufficiently creepy and with a premise that piques the interest of those wishing for The Conjuring lore to expand. This is certainly going to be one to watch for horror fans when it hits our screens September 7th.
