Featured reviews
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!

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.

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.

Giving 10 star to all the actor and actress.
But for the movie.. gosh. This is the worst horror movie.. Too much drama and unnecessary things to explain.
Rather than explaining the history of the demon they choose to make lotsssssssss of drama.
Please learn again to make horror movie.
Exhuma wayyyyyyyyyy better than this!
I never give a rank before. But this movie.. Waaaaayyyyy below my expectations.
U call this as a horror movie? Really? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This is not a horror movie! This is a drama movie. Gosh! Im so furious! Wasted all the good acting from a very talented actress and actor.. ckckck..

I don't understand what's the movie was all about?! It was super boring and long and not scarry at all. The plot is just blah and nothing's good about this movie, so irrelevant, I can't stop hoping it will end soon, this is another movie after Joker 2 that I feel like nonsense and just blah in every scene. They wanted to make this nun look cool but they just making her like a stress woman who wanted to beat demon hahahahaha! Oh man... I thought Korean movies are always good. They are better in making zombie movies or sad movies. And that kid in the movie, why was he so special that he got possesed so bad?! So many whys in this movie, my teenager son were sleeping during the movies.
