Sister Death is a Spanish horror film directed by Paco Plaza, who is best known for his work on the *[REC]* film series. This film serves as a prequel to the 2017 horror hit Verónica, which was also directed by Plaza. Sister Death delves into the backstory of one of the most intriguing characters from Verónica—the blind, elderly nun known as Sister Death (Hermana Muerte).

Set decades before the events of *Verónica*, the film takes place in a Catholic boarding school for girls, where a young novice nun with supernatural abilities begins to experience terrifying visions and encounters with malevolent spirits. The story follows her as she grapples with her newfound powers, the dark secrets of the convent, and the increasingly disturbing supernatural occurrences that plague her and the students.

As she uncovers the truth about the convent’s haunted past, she must confront the demonic forces that threaten to consume her soul and those around her. Her struggle with these forces and the decisions she makes along the way ultimately lead her to become the enigmatic and tragic figure known as Sister Death.

*Sister Death* combines elements of religious horror, psychological terror, and Gothic atmosphere, drawing on the rich tradition of Spanish horror cinema. It promises to expand on the eerie world established in *Verónica*, offering fans a deeper understanding of the character’s origins and the horrors that shaped her fate. With its haunting visuals, intense performances, and a story steeped in both supernatural dread and emotional depth, *Sister Death* is poised to be a compelling addition to the horror genre.
