THE NUN (2018) Ending Explained + Conjuring Series Connections

My grandma went to go see this movie cuz she thought it was about church😂🤣🤣🤣

Nun of y’all better make any nun jokes cause I don’t wanna beat nun of y’all today

if I see another nun joke...

How many girlfriends do I have. Nun

I love the part when the guy rips the cross out of the ground and he carries it with him to the bar

So much potential the villain had. Not fulfilled

The nuns who give information to Irene are visions of her own NOT caused by Valak. The black veiled nun IS an apparition created by Valak, as are the faceless nuns. The portal was reopened by an air raid during WW2, that's when the demon escaped and started killing the nuns.

So annabelle and the nun are BFFs?

Why is there a lot nun jokes? Nun of them are funny >:v

Burying him alive isn't causing any real harm? Alrighty.

How many nuns where alive at the Abbey?
Nun

I mean, I got pretty attached to Frenchy tbh.
Frenchy: Holy shit
Priest: The holiest.

The bit where the Nun rises from the water reminded me of the bit in the new IT with pennywise in the basement

Frenchy’s last words before
getting possessed~
“I am French Canadian”
R.I.P Frenchy

It was not Valak creating the illusions or manifestations of the deceased nuns but it was Sister Irene visions that allowed her to speak to them and discern where the gate within the Abbey is located the history of the Abbey itself as well as information about how to defeat Valak (blood of christ, etc.).
As for Sister Victoria, she took her own life and therefore could not be possessed however all the other nuns in the church (not only the other nun that got dragged away in the opening scene) were all supposedly killed by Valak. Or is that a conclusion we come just come to as Valak not killing anyone seems pretty lame to say the least. We never really see any other bodies of the nuns other than sister Oana (under the white sheet) and sister Victoria who is now a white walker. It's seen in the ending that they bury all the bodies of the other Sisters, which leads me to believe that the bodies were in fact still there. Unless it was just in memorial. Lets just say it's the former. So if the Demon did not possess them it would lead us to believe that they killed themselves. The bleeding from the eyes in indicative of a hung body as you can see from the blood coming of out the eyes of sister Oana who was under the white sheet. She also had stigmata and I'm lost there. Was it self inflicted, did the other nuns crucify her for being a loud mouth lol in a vision that happened in the future? LOL, I haven't the slightest clue at the moment.
I also believe that the reason why Valak can't just instantly possess you is that it needs to become stronger. And it's a well known horror trope that in order for a demon to possess you it also feeds on the fear of the individual being tormented. Or whichever comes first. Or both maybe? Who knows, its always changing from movie to movie, demon to demon.
There are definitely lose ends to this movie but I think it did a great job with its atmosphere and sound. Especially the deep choir for the Valak scenes. Its demise is the fact that it shows us the face of the demon too clearly one too many times and it becomes less and less scary and ultimately we lose the fear of the unknown.
*Also on a side note in Annabelle Creation sister Charlotte was part of the convent at the Abbey but she acted like she didn't know of any demonic presence there. Even through it's said that the nuns would be in prayer 24/7 in order to keep the demon at bay. Did she not ever see the Demon herself and so she couldn't identify the faded face in the photo? Who knows. She acts pretty normal coming out of a place as "unholy" as the Abbey.

I thought the other nuns were ghosts that Sister Irene can see, not apparitions made my Valak

I actually liked the movie😂

The conjuring universe meets the insidious universe.

That nun dance was scarier than valak in the nun!

Okay. I normally love this videos but:
As I see it, the Nuns were not sent by Valak but instead the trapped ghosts of the Nuns that lived there. In the beginning, it was stated that the place was not holy anymore and, in the end, it was asked if it was of any use to bury someone in the unholy ground, to which Irene answeres with: "It is now!"
My guess is that the Nuns were all buried there and not able to leave because Valak's presence inside their home meant that they did not fullfill their duty, leading to them turning into ghosts. When Irene enteres they realize that she could help them cross over to the other side. It only helps them to 'defeat' the evil inside their holy home when they tell her all they knew about the demon.
Because consider this: If Valak really was weakend by the prayers of the Nuns, then why would he tell Irene to come into the chapell to pray with the other sisters?
That's right, it doesn't make sense.
Also, There is no light coming out of Mary's statues finger. It's coming from a source outside the window (which was visible mutliple times) and a dropled of water in the damp underground reflected the light to the right direction. (I know, what a coincidence.)
Anyway most people won't read that. Yes, the movie had a lot of flaws and I honestly couldn't care less for the protagonists but it wasn't just jumpscares and not explainable magic things as well as Valak telling how to defeat himself just for shits 'n giggles. Honestly I could write all day about this but I'll leave it at that.
