14 Upcoming Movies That Might Be Surprisingly Awesome

5. The Nun

The Conjuring 2 Nun
Warner Bros.

Release Date: July 13, 2018

Why It Should Suck: It's yet another attempt to widen the Conjuring Universe, this time revolving around the demon nun Valak from The Conjuring 2, with a script written by Annabelle's Gary Dauberman. Enough said, really.

Why It Might Be Awesome: The Nun is being directed by Corin Hardy, whose indie horror flick The Hallow was well-received by critics, and though it's reasonable to be worried about the script, the story itself was conceived by franchise creator James Wan, which is definitely encouraging.

Plus, Taissa Farmiga plays the lead role, which will likely lead to some sort of link to the Conjuring movies as, of course, she's Vera Farmiga's youngster sister.

With Annabelle: Creation getting surprisingly decent reviews so far, could the Conjuring Universe in fact be a well thought-out enterprise?
