Valak's nun form is in front of a monastery in The Nun.
Summary As part of The Conjuring Universe, The Nun includes true-story connections that make the movie more disturbing. Based on the experience of real-life demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring Universe tells stories purported as real-life horrors with a supernatural connection. Actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have made the Warrens household names, but previous films have made tenuous connections between fact, fiction, and horror.
The demon appears in most demonology grimoires, most notably Pseudomonarchia Daemonum by Johann Weyer and The Lesser Key Of Soloman by Aleister Crowley. Across all significant historical grimoires, Valak looks like a child with angel wings who rides on the back of a two-headed dragon. It can deliver those who contact it to either treasures or serpents, highlighting its trickster nature. In theology, the symbol of the “serpent" can refer to demons or evils.
Valak's nun form challenges Lorraine and Warren's faith because the demon looks like something that’s supposed to be holy. Why The Nun Was Set At The Cârța Monastery The Cârța Monastery Has A Long History Of Hauntings The setting of The Nun helps shape the creepy ambiance of the movie, continuing to expand the haunted locations of The Conjuring Universe. The film takes place in the Cârța Monastery located in Transylvania, Romania. According to Atlas Obscura, the monastery was erected in 1205.
Two men were also buried in the cellar and began haunting the place after their graves were disturbed during an excavation. The most common signs of haunting include ghosts roaming the halls, the walls vibrating, objects flying across the room, and chairs dragging across the floor. The real-life haunting alters gives The Nun’s setting a bit of reality, increasing the movie’s scare factor.
The horrific story and the subsequent criminal trial gave the Tanacu Exorcism global attention. In 2007, those responsible were sentenced to jail, gaining coverage in The New York Times. Between the haunting of the Cârța Monastery and the famous Tanacu Exorcism, Romania was the perfect location to give The Nun the realism that The Conjuring Universe strives for.
