The Nun was cursed before it even premiered.
The 2018 film, a prequel to The Conjuring movies, some of the most terrifying horror films of the last decade, was advertised through a six second trailer that ran before videos on YouTube.
And… no.
People complained, likely because they wet their pants and it was shameful as well as inconvenient.
The ad began with a symbol indicating that the volume was down.
“Goodness!” the viewer thought to themselves. “I better turn the volume right up as to be able to hear this bizarre looking ad.”
It was at this moment viewers were presented with a jump shock so terrifying that people got GENUINELY ANGRY and made complaints.
Now I, like any horror movie enthusiastic, thought to myself: “This movie is about a demonic nun who runs at people for no reason, what could possibly go wrong?”
And the answer was simple: Everything. Literally, everything.
You can watch the trailer right here.
The Nun takes place two decades before The Conjuring 2, and begins with a young nun who resides in an abbey in Romania (obviously), running from a demon (obviously) and ultimately jumping out a window to her death.
