Hermana Muerte

Good movie. I consider Veronica to be a superior film, but this is how you make a prequel. Completely different on its approach, with significance for the original story, yet very much its own thing.

Very good performance in the lead role by Aria Bedmar, whom I wasn't familiar with, but who showed a range of nuances in approaching this character. I loved the production design and cinematography, with Paco Plaza once again demonstrating his exceptional camera work, one of the best in the horror genre, and always maintaining impeccable mise en scene. Once again, sound - mixing, score and sountrack - is also a standout in his works. I can't say it was scary or terrifying, but it's a very well-paced story, creepy enough, and with some very interesting setpieces.

As Greek Orthodox, the first observation after final credits was : "so...Romano -Catholic".

And, indeed, scene by scene, it reminds themes and atmosphere and motives of this confesion.

In same measure, a profound Spanish film, for precise reference to Civil war traumas to the rules of monastery and Marian aparitions.

Inspired photography, wise crafted story, fair construction of tension and admirable acting. And a great end, the venerable Narcisa in classroom being the great definition of essence of story.

I loved the work of Aria Bedman and the craft of each detail . Not original but beautiful made scene by scene, offering a precise circle of dark past and a honest circle of salvation.

This movie is an old style horror which focuses more on the psychology than on cheap visuals to scare you. The setting is amazing the cinematography excellent and the actors played their role well. I liked it more than the Nun movies.

Director Plaza knows how to make viewers feel uncomfortable.

Of course it is not perfect but for a Friday night in Halloween period is a must. It is above average for Netflix standards.

If you love horrors and want something different than the modern ones give it a try and you won't regret it. Please note that it is a slow burn horror with some nice kills...!!!!

From the trailer the film visually looked a little more like an independent film in the sense of having long shots and a fixed camera. I have to say that I liked it a lot, the atmosphere is well constructed, the actors do a good job and above all, as many here have said, it is better than The Nun. I haven't seen the movie Veronica, but after watching this movie I'm going to watch it. I, personally, had not seen a horror film so well constructed and so well crafted for a long time, I was left speechless. I like Spanish cinema, and this director has done it quite well. The photography, on the other hand, is spectacular, it should win the Goya award for best photography, I hope so.

This is not even close to the earlier ventures of the director. The scare moments are very few and failed miserably as horror movie. The acting and story was good, but it has lot of outdated scenes and shadows from earlier NUN horror flicks.

Felt bore after some point and only good point is that the climax moments and lead to veronica. I was expecting more and it satisfied only half to the expectations.

The acting and making was good. When it ends with reason as revenge flavour, i disappointed. It is not bad but not upto the expectation. Give a try with low expectations.
