The horror movie “The Nun”, with the Mexican Demián Bichir as star of his cast, leads the premieres in the United States in a fairly quiet week on the big screen and which is the first after the end of the summer season in theaters .

The director Corin Hardy (“The Hallow”, 2015) puts in front of this derivative tape (“spin-off”) of the saga of “The Conjuring” and that also counts in its distribution with Taissa Farmiga.

Bichir, Oscar nominee for best actor for “A Better Life” (2011), plays in “The Nun” Father Burke, a priest sent by the Vatican to Romania to investigate the mysterious death of a nun.

Jennifer Garner returns to the action cinema with “Peppermint”, a film by French filmmaker Pierre Morel (“Taken”, 2008), which also includes John Gallagher Jr., John Ortiz and Juan Pablo Raba.

Garner plays a woman who undertakes on her own a bloody revenge against the criminals who killed her husband and daughter.

Finally, American theaters will also welcome this weekend to “God Bless the Broken Road”, a religious-inspired film aimed at the Christian public.

Harold Cronk, the director of “God’s Not Dead” (2014) and “God’s Not Dead 2” (2016), directs this film, based on the song “Bless the Broken Road” by the Rascal Flatts group, about the crisis of faith that a woman suffers after the death of her husband.
