The Nun

I've seen a few stinkers of horrors that certainly deserve 1 or 2 starts, but come on, The Nun deserves better than that. Sure it doesn't have the finesse of The Conjuring films, the plot is a little thin and the scares do rely quite heavily on the tried and tested loud jump scares, but:

It has great camera work Very good set pieces and great atmosphere Good acting Great effects And it does make you jump outta your seat

If you bear all of that in mind and are not expecting anything else, then you'll have a great time.

Was there a plot? Nun Were there any scares? Nun Any good acting? Nun Any reason to go see this movie? Nun

It seems like, in The Conjuring 2, the writers just thought: "a monster in a nun costume - that seems really cool!" Then, when they try to build a story around it, they can't get the square peg to fit in the round hole. It's a nun monastery in Romania. And a demon called Valak. But why is he running around in a nun costume? That story doesn't get developed enough. A good ghost story always have a mystique and history, but this movie doesn't deliver in that aspect. Instead they seem just to rely on jump scares and cheap thrills.

This installment of one of the most successful horror franchises - The Conjuring - is this horrifying sequel to the blockbuster. Well produced by James Wan and Peter Safran (producers of all the films in the franchise); it's a terrifying Ghost story that finds an evil nun seeking vendetta and carrying out a criminal spree. This scary movie produced by the successful James Wan who presents another creepy horror tale with a Nun as starring. 1952, when a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, the Vatican assigns a peculiar duo to investigate it. A priest with a haunted past, Father Burke (as Demian Bichir) and a young nun (Taissa Farmiga) on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun. Together they uncover the order's unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorized audiences in 'The Conjuring 2,' as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned. The greatest evil in The Conjuring Universe !. Confess your sins !. Witness the Darkest Chapter in The Conjuring Universe !. Pray For Forgiveness !. She Doesn't Forgive !. Witness the Darkest Chapter in The Conjuring Universe !.

Terror film that shows the chilling origins of the possessed nun Valak, who became known in 'Warren file: Enfield case'. Prequel/Spin of the Warren File franchise, stars Demián Bichir and Taissa Farmiga, also makes a brief appearance in the epilogue of the Patrick Wilson film and Vera Farmiga, portraying their characters from the original series. It displays relentless chiller , intrigue , shocks, hard-edged drama , plot twists , creepy images and some gore when crimes takes place. This hit 'The Nun' in which the scream queen Tessa Farmiga puts on the habit to kill the chilling demon Valak, she plays a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows sent by the Vatican to investigate. Here Taissa Farmiga and Demian Bichir confront the very thing that haunts their dreams and forever links them together in hushed silence. They battle a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun (Bonnie Aaarons) that first terrorized audiences in 'The Conjuring 2,' as the convent becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.

This frightening movie is plenty of thrills , screams , gore, eerie scenes, high body-count and lurid images with lots of eerie scenes, blood and gore. This worldwide smash hit follows Sister Irene who comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun. It is an usual horror movie where the intrigue , tension , suspense appear threatening and lurking in every room , corridors , church and convent, including some chilling frames. The main protagonists are Demian Bichir, Tessa Farmiga (Nun I, Mula, The twilight Zone) giving good performances as the priest with dark past and the brave nun who helps him. And Bonnie Aarons and Jonas Bloquet installment as Valak and Frenchie respectively. Special effects are pretty well but there are several scenes without much sense and the main and secondary interpretations are acceptable. Interesting premise about a heinous nun is partially wasted but it has its moments here and there.

It containg a tense and suspenseful musical score by Abel Korzeniowski , an expert on terror movies and dark atmosphere. As well as a somber and gloomy cinematography by cameraman Maxime Alexandre. Shooting took place at the Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, and in Sighisoara, Transylvania, Romania, and also at Mogosoaia Palace, near Bucharest, Romania. This spooky movie was efficiently directed Corin Hardy (The Hallow, Gangs of London) in her second feature film.

Followed by ¨The Nun II¨by Michael Chaves, set in 1956 in Tarancon (France) four years after the demonic events of 1952, Father Noiret burns to death in the air. Valek's demon has died and Sister Irene, who now serves in a convent in Italy, must once again face this evil to return him to hell. Stars Irene (Tessa Farmiga), Debra (Storm Reid), the teacher Kate (Anna Popplewell); on the other hand, repeat in this second entry Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) and The Nun (Bonnie Aarons) . While Valak often tormenting students with her own brand of extreme religious zealotry, this nightmarish nun was deathly strict with her code of ethics.

James Wan goes to production this time and is also co-author of the story on which the script is based together with the screenwriter Gary Dauberman: Annabelle Comes Home, Anabelle: creation. The saga Warren marriage : Patrick Wilson/Vera Farmiga is formed as follows : The Conjuring (2013) by James Wan , The Conjuring 2 (2016) by James Wan and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) by Michael Chaves . Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable film that will appeal to horror lovers.

If you had told me five years ago that one of my most anticipated movies of 2018 would be titled 'The Nun' I would've been very surprised. It was though. I had been looking forward to this movie ever since it was announced. I'm a huge fan of both of 'The Conjuring' movies, but have admittedly not loved either of the two 'Annabelle' spin-offs. I was very pleased to see James Wan was attached to the writing side of things on this one though and so held out high hopes for it. Sadly though, I have to report this is another complete misfire.

Starting with the positives though - the movie looks great. The set decoration is truly terrific in nearly every scene and the building and surrounding area that the film is set in were ideally selected. The groundwork was there for this to be a very creepy movie. At times the movie does work too, but that is mainly when it is being subtle. There are a lot of scenes where images of 'The Nun' are sort of there, but also sort of not. You question yourself whether you are actually seeing what you think you are. I really liked that side of things. Too often though the film is far too in your face. The demon will jump out of a tree and scream into a character's face (a very lion-like and un-scary scream I would have to say as well).

The dialogue in this film is a real mess too, which surprised me considering Wan's involvement. The character of 'Frenchie' is particularly painful. He is meant to be the comic relief, but nothing he says is in any way funny, and is frankly a little embarrassing in parts. Also some of the things the demon says like, "The village will be missing its idiot tomorrow" (or something to that effect), are cringe-worthy and should never have made the final cut.

I was very let down by this film. There are a lot of jump-scares, and not one of them gave me the slightest jolt. My heart-rate never rose above resting in any scene and I was frankly bored for the most part. The only saving graces were that the film looked great, connected in with the rest of the series well and had a truly great final scene that left me a little blown away. I didn't want this to have to be a negative review, but there was no other way to go about it.
