We take a trip back to 1952 in the latest movie in the Conjuring Universe, The Nun, to find out how it all began and I took the trip back in IMAX in Broughton to enjoy the horror on a big screen.

In Romania, a young nun takes her own life, to find out why she did this a priest with his own haunted past is sent to the cloistered abbey to uncover the order’s unholy secret, their investigation not only has their lives at risk but also their faith and their souls as they confront The Nun, a malevolent evil that has taken o the form the demonic nun that we saw in The Conjuring 2, it’s now a battle of good against evil, light against dark as the abbey becomes a supernatural battleground of the living and damned.

The Sword in the Stone.

Excalibur.

I always thought they were two different blades, but not according to this movie, which transplants the action from ye-olde medieval England to modern-day times, with young Alex discovering the sword and setting off on a quest (alongside his best friend Badders, and two of his former bullies Lance and Kay) to stop the evil Sorceress Morgana from reawakening.

So, yes, it does follow pretty much the standard quest trope, complete with enemies who become friends and the battle against evil. I also found it to drag somewhat, and was sitting - for large portions - watching it with my mouth hanging open.

Unfortunately, that's not in a good way - just at the sheer plain ridiculousness of it all!

Then again, that may be simply because I'm not really it's target audience ... ?
