    Finally a good horror movie with literally NO JUMPSCARES

    Without spoiler: The movie Starts slow but it picks up the pace and it gets more disturbing with each passing second. For the last 30 minutes I was so tensed by this movie that I couldn't even look away for a fraction of a second, overall the movie is what horror movies should be. Acting is on point and the plot is just outstanding. The only negative point about the movie is that some scenes are unnecessary according to me. Hope we see more movies like this in the future and get part 2 of Veronica. Director should be praised and I think this movie should have been released in theatres rather than Netflix.

    Beautiful old style horror film

    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...!!!!

    Good film

    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.

    Tremendously effective "nun" chiller from Paco Plaza! [+69%]

    The name - Paco Plaza - is almost enough assurance for a horror product to work. Here's a nun movie that's way better than both The Nun entries from The Conjuring universe, and it comes from one-half of the directors of the REC films. This is a prequel to Plaza's 2017 chiller Veronica, focusing on Sister Death's side of things. For a film that just runs for 90 minutes, there's a surprising level of depth in storytelling, and Plaza's use of visual metaphors is on full display here. The "eclipse" aspect is wonderfully incorporated into the storyline, and while the first two acts may come across as slightly less effective from a narrative standpoint, the final act where the dots begin to connect, is truly spectacular. Even in those first two acts, the atmospherics are remarkably set up.

    The makers of The Nun films could learn a thing or two, in terms of how to design aesthetically spooky frames. The smart usage of close-up shots, the innovative use of gore, and the commendable performances of the child actors help Sister Death rise above your generic supernatural horror film. The only thing that sort of baffles me, is the makers' decision to add synth beats to a couple of chilling scenes, which made me tune out of the film's madness albeit for a few seconds. I have to say I enjoyed this a bit more than Veronica, and that may (or may not) have to do with how disappointing the recent demonic nun movies have been. This is a solidly packaged pre-Halloween gift indeed.

    Lot of shadows of other NUN movies

    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.
