The three major reasons I watched this South Korean horror movie are that South Korea is one of my favourites countries for movies, that horror is one of my favourite genres, and that I never pay too much attention to negative reviews as most of the people are just never satisfied. The three reasons I should not have watched this movie are that not all South Korean movies are excellent, that possession movies have been done over and over again and even though you never know that you might stumble on a gem this one was not one of them, and that this time the negative reviewers were right. It's just a repetitive snooze fest, not enough action and apart from the actor playing the possessed the rest wasn't very convincing. It's been awhile since I watched a bad South Korean movie, hopefully the next one will be better again.

A daring blend of exorcism, shamanism, and tarot readings to save a teenager from a malevolent entity. This unconventional approach is incredibly bold and refreshing, creating a unique and captivating viewing experience.

The film had me completely hooked, from the start and especially the intense finale. The atmosphere made me anxious about what will happened. Prediction about the ending kept me on the edge of my seat.

Sister Yunia is such a charismatic character - a total badass. Her unwavering determination and selfless acts of courage are truly inspiring. The ending is one I won't forget.

I still can't get over "The Priests". It's my favorite exorcism film. The hopeful ending was a beautiful reminder of faith.

"The Dark Nuns", on the other hand, explores the deeper meaning of sacrifice and the strength found within oneself. It's a truly thought-provoking film that will stay with me for a long time.

I hope you'll be inspired to watch them!

First of all, Song Hye-kyo delivers a great performance. Jeon Yeo-been also excels in portraying the Catholic nun who is skeptical about exorcism and has a robotic personality. In fact, Jeon manages to balance Song Hye-kyo's performance, bringing a strong dynamic between the two.

Beyond the duo of sisters, Moon Woo-jin as Hee-joon also shows potential as a promising actor for the future.

I really enjoyed the movie. I did. The last scenes where they'r doing the rite, is one of the most convincing exorcism scene. There are somethings missing tho, like the background of the evil and Sister Yunia.

I've been waiting for Song Hye Kyo to take on another darker role after her performance in The Glory. Sadly Dark Nuns was probably not the right vehicle to show case her talent.

I enjoy slow paced films, however there has to be some sense that the plot is moving along, drawing you in and keeping you captivated. Korean horror is usually very good at this, for example the excellent Exhuma ( released last year) created a balance of intrigue and suspense that kept you glued to your seats for the whole time. Unfortunately Dark Nuns fails in this area and just becomes boring at the end.

The actors were not challenged enough by the script and direction so their talents were lost in the complicated mechanisms of the Catholic Church. I liked the idea of highlighting the nuns work in what has typically been an extremely male focused domain but without the tools to do this, the lead actresses floundered.

A missed opportunity for Song Hye Kyo to cement the next stage of career as there are only so many romantic/melo roles that she can do now, due to her age. She quickly needs to find something that stretches her talents to give her the gravitas she is seeking for the next part of her acting career.

Where to start...let me just say that the movie is that boring that you can easily fall asleep.

The movie lack any substance and the director failed to deliver a coherent narrative.

After seeing this movie I finally understand why the actress Song Hye-Kyo was always chosen to play romantic characters. The actress has no charisma a no character, she is not capable of playing a strong woman...she is not convincing as a strong woman.

She does not show any power, grit or tenacity. She is quite bland and it seems as if she is afraid of not looking beautiful, as if looking beautiful for her is much more important then looking a strong woman.

There is not much more to say as the film is really without substance. They tried - again - to hide the movie's lack of quality by casting famous actresses.
