The Nun (2018)

The Nun is the latest horror movie in the conjuring universe, previous entries other the main conjuring films have been Annabelle and Annabelle creation.

These spin off films have been mediocre at best and the nun is no exception, although better than Annabelle, the nun is a showy horror film full of Christian references and at times begs the question,
what if the demon in question is hindu?

Jokes apart, this film is somewhat lacking in genuinely good jump scares and the decent ones mostly pop up pre interval. The monster has already been revealed in the conjuring 2 hence the filmmakers decided to go all out and the teeth bared demon is screaming and screeching pretty soon into the film, which sort of spoils any build up to a genuinely good scares.

The Nun is a genuinely scary character, just seeing her image on screen as a wallpaper can give someone sleepless nights… but somehow this character is misused and comes across as screechy and zombie-ish… losing everything that was scary about her in conjuring 2…

The acting by the lead performers is adequate as it is in most such horror films, but having seen Stree just last week, this film seems to pale in comparison. Which is rare but it’s a welcome change to have Bollywood outdo Hollywood for once.

If you LOVE the conjuring films, do go see this film once, but this is not the best of horror films out in theaters right now. For that, catch Stree if you haven’t yet…


Rating : 5/10.
Conclusion : This film could have been genuinely scary, it had a great setting and premise, but somehow it didn’t become greater than the sum of all its parts. In addition, the praying to god while the demon is literally dancing around is such an old cliché… Hollywood needs to get out of its Vatican love and make some demons who do not adhere to Christ…
