The Nun 3: The Eternal Curse continues the spine-chilling saga of Valak, the demonic nun, in a terrifying new chapter of The Conjuring Universe. Set in the 1970s, the story reconnects Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) with Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) as their paths cross once more in a desperate bid to stop Valak’s resurgence.
The film begins with a series of unexplained deaths at a remote convent in France, where whispers of an ancient curse have terrified the nuns. Sister Irene, now living a quiet life of prayer and reflection, is called upon by the Vatican to investigate. However, the horrors she thought she had left behind resurface when she discovers that Valak’s influence is spreading, targeting sacred sites across Europe.
Sister Irene teams up with Father Burke’s successor, Father Dominic (new supporting character), and uncovers chilling evidence of a centuries-old ritual designed to bind Valak permanently. But the ritual was never completed, and the demon has grown more powerful, preying on the faith and fears of its victims.
Meanwhile, Lorraine and Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) are investigating a haunting in England that ties directly to Valak’s curse. As their investigation deepens, Lorraine’s visions reveal a connection between her and Sister Irene, suggesting that their bloodline holds the key to defeating Valak once and for all.
The film’s tension escalates as Sister Irene and Lorraine finally meet, joining forces to confront Valak in an ancient cathedral built over a portal to Hell. As the demon manipulates their darkest fears and deepest regrets, the women must summon all their faith and courage to seal the portal and banish Valak.
The climax delivers terrifying visuals, heart-pounding suspense, and emotional stakes as the characters face the ultimate test of faith and resolve. The final moments tease that Valak’s curse may not be entirely broken, leaving audiences questioning whether evil can ever truly be defeated.
The Nun 3: The Eternal Curse combines the eerie atmosphere, jump scares, and supernatural mystery that fans of the franchise love, while deepening the ties between The Nun and The Conjuring series. With standout performances from the Farmiga sisters, the film explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the enduring battle between good and evil.
