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.

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.
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.
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..
