Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: If you asked me a year ago whether a Korean exorcism horror led by two nuns could open top of the box office, I’d have chuckled. Yet here we are. Dark Nuns (also styled The Priests 2: Dark Nuns) has invaded screens — and minds — in early 2025, bringing with it ambition, dread, and some stumbles along the path of faith and spectacle.
