In The Nun, It occurs to Father Burke that he can enter the castle through the delivery entrance. Just before he hears the bell, he looks at the delivery door. As the camera pans from him to the door, there is a boy standing beside him who turns to look at Father Burke.

I assume this is an editing error since the only boy in the story is a possessed child from his past and he'd been fighting him in earlier scenes. The boy in THIS moment is completely passive and his presence doesn't make sense. If he is the possessed boy, why is he suddenly there for a split second in a passive manner? If he isn't that boy, where did he come from? I feel like there must be a deleted scene and this moment is a remnant.



Best Answer

Showing the audience brief glimpses of something that the characters themselves aren't seeing is pretty typical, especially in the horror genre (showing a ghost/entity standing behind a character that they never notice, etc). It's likely that's what it was instead of an editing error. They do show the demon tormenting the priest in the shape of the boy he couldn't save, so it was likely the same thing in that scene.

Who was the boy in The Nun?

As \u201cThe Nun\u201d makes clear, that Maurice is Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet), the young man who helped Father Burke and Sister Irene at the Romanian monastery.

How did Frenchie get possessed in The Nun?

Sister Irene starts as a stranger and someone that Frenchie is prone to flirting with, until he finds out that she is a nun. He grows to care for her enough to try and sacrifice himself to save her from Valak's hold at the end of the movie. It is this sacrifice that leads to his own possession.

What is the real story behind The Nun?

The plot of the film is not based on a true story. But, if we dig its foundation, a few sequences in the film are inspired by real-life experiences. Interestingly, the film followed a nun named Sister Irene who travelled to Romania to investigate an incident at a monastery involving an entity called Valak.

Does the father live in The Nun?

Their first night kicks off with scares: Father Burke gets buried alive, while Sister Irene gets terrorized by the demon.
