The trailer of Dark Nuns
The main trailer for Dark Nuns offers a glimpse into the intense and gripping narrative surrounding a boy named Hee-joon, who is possessed by a powerful evil spirit. It begins with an eerie scene inside a dimly lit church, setting the tone for this supernatural thriller. A voiceover introduces the unsettling premise, stating:
"There are times when things that are hard to understand or explain just happen. There's no possession."
Song Hye-kyo’s character, Sister Junia, appears next, passionately arguing with an unseen individual. She declares that turning a blind eye to someone who is possessed is also murder. She is dismissed with the retort, "You're just a nun," to which she responds defiantly, "Ugh, your words really annoy me."
Jeon Yeo-been's character, Sister Michaela, is shown in a cryptic scene spreading tarot cards. This is followed by an accident and a foreboding voiceover hinting that there was only one case that was really similar to this. Sister Junia then references the mysterious "12 manifestations" while discussing the case.
