I don't do horror movies but watched it because of Song Hye Kyo, glad it wasn't to scary. Acting was really good she stepped up her game from The Glory and that was a masterpiece. Cinematography was great story was straight forward tell you the truth I was nervous that I wasn't going to like it but it exceeded my expectations. Definitely Worth the watch. Her character was the best one in the movie and she stole every scene lol her acting was a 10 others I would rate a 7 not a fan of JYB I literally dropped everything she was in but surprisingly even though her character was annoying at first I started to like her in the end a little bit of an over actor but I liked watching them together. Ending was interesting once again it's worth the watch.
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.

For those of you who don't know, this is a spin-off of the movie The Priests from 2015, so I watched that one right before going into Dark Nuns. It was refreshing to see an exorcism movie from South Korea, and while the performances and overall execution were solid, I couldn't help but feel a little bored due to the tame approach. I'm used to the over-the-top Western executions of these kinds of movies.
The same applies to Dark Nuns, which takes a more sophisticated approach to the exorcism genre and doesn't try to entertain the audience with exaggerated possession scenes or cheap jump scares. The storytelling takes center stage in this film. However, I have to say that the story really dragged. The characters are not particularly interesting, and the movie contains many scenes that could have been cut in the editing room without affecting the outcome.
I'm getting tired of these two-hour-long movies, especially when they don't really justify their length. The performances were good, and the overall production quality was decent, aside from some CGI rats toward the end. The connection to The Priests was very brief and probably wouldn't have had much impact if I hadn't seen the original beforehand.
Overall, it's definitely a watchable film, but we've seen better from South Korea.

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.

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!
