A Nun's Curse

VERY slow moving and it seems it takes forever for anything to happen. I actually ended up fast forwarding (something I rarely do) to get to some, any kind of action. By the time things started to pick up, it was over.

Sister Monday was creepy, but just needed to do more.

Disappointing.

Terrible graphics, terrible plot, waste of time. It was too fake to enjoy.

I have to say, I am on the fence about this one. The film is a standard horror film that stays within traditional horror tropes. It is a little to familiar, with a lot of the material having been seen and done before. And yet, it the cinematography is good, it taps into that comfortable horror styled atmosphere, and it offers a somewhat memorable baddie in Sister Monday.

With "A Nun's Curse" I think my biggest complaint is just how long it takes before anything significant happens. For the first 40 or so minutes it is filled with too much dramatic dialog, exposition and melodrama that really eats into the runtime. But from there on things get somewhat interesting and the story transitions into a full on horror story. Again, the atmosphere is cool. I found myself really starting to get into.

The horror elements are pretty well done. There is some stereotypical paranormal styled moments that are your standard gimmicks used. The best part is that the kills are done with practical effects that look good. The down side that the time starts running out on the film so the kills seem rushed.

Overall, as much as I wanted to really like "A Nun's Curse" there was just more that I didn't like. I enjoyed Felissa Rose as Sister Monday but it takes too long to get her on screen. There is a "surprise" twist to the ending that will become clear before it is intended to, but it is a cool one. Unfortunately instead of ending the film there the story goes for another, weaker ending that kinda ruins things. As always check it out but don't expect much. It has some moments that are interesting, but not everyone will enjoy this one.

Very boring and the nun looks like a kid was painting her for halloween...

Right, well of course I had zero expectations to the 2019 horror movie "A Nun's Curse" from writer and director Tommy Faircloth, given the movie's title and probably cash-in on "The Nun". And the fact that I hadn't ever heard about the movie didn't really help set up the expectations much either.

But, in all fairness, with "A Nun's Curse" being a horror movie, and one that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the 73 minutes to sit down and watch it.

The storyline in "A Nun's Curse" was a bland and mundane one. Writer Tommy Faircloth didn't exactly produce an overly great script here, and the narrative was somewhat slow paced. And with not an abundance of thrilling, scary or interesting things happening as the movie slowly progressed, it was getting somewhat difficult to sit there and keep feigning an interest in the movie's narrative. Sorry to say so, but that is what I felt when I watched "A Nun's Curse".

It was rather easy for my attention to dwindle on the events in the storyline, as the narrative was so slow, uneventful and mundane. But thankfully, even if your attention is elsewhere for some time, you can easily return to the screen and still be up to speed, as you haven't missed out on anything crucial to the narrative.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with any actors or actresses on the cast list in the movie, aside from actress Felissa Rose - yeah, I have watched enough low budget movies to know who she is. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough, given the limitations of the script and storyline imposed on the cast ensemble.

I was amazed with the absolute absence of anything even remotely scary in the narrative throughout the course of the 73 minutes that the movie ran for.

There is a lot of questionable horror movies with a nun-theme to it, and "A Nun's Curse" proved to be another such movie in that collection. There was nothing outstanding or memorable about the movie.

My rating of "A Nun's Curse" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
