What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Valak, Catholic religious spaces, priestly murder, and Sister Irene's spiritual confrontation define the film's horror framework.

The story moves through 1950s French churches, schools, chapels, and other old-world locations marked by hidden evil.
The evil spreads into a girls' school and repeatedly places children, including Sophie, in danger.
