Irmã Morte

RATED 6/10 Language: Spanish Source: Netflix

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 The acting and story was good, but it has lot of outdated scenes and shadows from earlier NUN horror flicks.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.

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.

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.

"Sister Death" is a remarkable horror film for its stunning cinematography, with a palette of vibrant colors and dazzling lights that, if there were a category for Best Cinematography in Horror at the Oscars, would certainly deserve a nomination. Despite a plot that didn't fully engage me, the evocative atmosphere harks back to independent religious horror productions from the 60s and 70s.

Despite its imperfections, it outperforms previous films with a "nun" theme in the horror genre, such as "The Nun." However, some unresolved issues in the third act leave something to be desired, and there were certain points I didn't quite grasp, which might be due to my lack of recollection about "Veronica," the film to which this serves as a prequel. In summary, "Sister Death" is a visually stunning experience, though a more engaging narrative could have made it truly memorable.

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...!!!!
