The Nun: La vocazione del male

The darkest chapter form conjuring universe but not the best and not even better than conjuring

the beginning of the film feels promising, but the more behind the plot the more strange and there are some things that seem "forced"

this film feels so dark and too many jump scare

I think, the rating of this film is better than annabelle but no better than conjuring

Let's begin with saying that the movie is definitely still worth the time to see. As there are a few moments where The Nun is portrayed in such a way that you do feel how great and powerful it is, and the music during these scenes (trust me, you will recognise them when you see them) is incredible. You'll feel hopeless, just as the characters at that time, but unfortunately these moments are scarce.

As human being, we find darkness scary, we hate it because we cannot see properly and thus find ourselves in the unknown. This is what drives a good horror movie, it is why the first Paranormal Activity was such a success for example. The horror of things happening, but not knowing what it is or where it is. The Nun fails to deliver this horror of the unknown. As we, in almost all scenes, see what it is that should terrify us, in great and gory detail. And while I love a tip of the hat to a more old school type of horror (more gore and monstrous feelings), I do not like how The Nun delivers it.

The amount of times we see a close up of the face of the nun is insane, and takes away the fear that this character had left us in during the Conjuring movies. It was the lack of screentime and the darkness surrounding this character that made her so extremely scary and interesting in those movies. It reminded me of the Devil's face in the original Exorcist movie. We don't see it often, but when we see it it terrifies us, because we cannot quite tell all the characteristics of its face, and it is always surrounded by darkness. The Nun is blatantly obvious, and her screaming in the camera makes it feel more like you're watching The Mummy, than The Nun.

Then there's the writing, the addition of comic relief is a good idea, but the timing is always off and rarely funny. The storyline is a bit basic, a gateway to hell, again, a demon needs a body, again, our past haunts us, again; it delivers nothing we haven't seen already. And I don't mind that, but then at least deliver it with tenacity. The jump scares feel as though they know that the audience knows its coming, so they just try to come at you from a different position than you expect: e.g., camera does a full 360, we expect something to happen, it doesn't and then something drops from above.

No, the movie disappoints. The story is basic, the timing of humor is laughable and the excessive amount of screentime - for that which petrified us with hardly any in the Conjuring movies - makes the Nun into something we hoped it wouldn't be. And unfortunately the great scenery, actually horrifying scenes and amazing soundtrack just can't lift this movie beyond 'just another horror movie'.

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.

Preface: I'm not the biggest fan of the Conjuring series as a whole.

Overall, The Nun was a pretty good movie. The film was shot wonderfully, locations were beautiful, color was perfect, and FX were spot on. That being said... for a demonic style horror film, I really prefer a little more background. With films out like Hereditary that are based in real, historically accurate lore, the bar has been set higher in that genre. The Nun's plot seemed rather thrown together to me.

On the plus side... Taissa Farmiga is an amazing actor and was brilliant. I almost give her full credit for me liking the film as much as I did. I really believe she is a staple to the horror genre. Bonnie Aarons is amazing as the Nun as well. I do wish they would use a little prosthetics on her to keep the nun from looking so much like her. After her role in these films I don't know if i'll ever be able to see her as anything but an evil, demonic nun. Overall... I give 6 out of 10.
