The Conjuring series continues the backward extrapolation of its horror mythology with this prequel to the prequels providing even more answers to the questions no-one was asking about its demons, to date the evil possessors of dolls, children, houses, dreamscapes, the charmless Warrens and now, in this episode (not so much a film as a litany of jump scares flimsily strung together), the possessed is a nun in a convent in 1952 Romania who can bury an exorcist in a box in a moment flat but is reduced to impotent bell-ringing when another wants to dig him up, similarly lickety-split.
