Review of The Nun (2018) by Davrosdaleks1 — 06 Sep 2018
The Conjuring universe manages to pull off another fun film.
Like the other films in the series, this movie feels like walking through a haunted house. The movies have always done a wonderful job of sets and settings. Here we have a creepy Bavarian mansion turned convent out in the middle of the forest. Its an over-the-top Hollywood monstrosity and it looks great. Admittedly, The Nun doesn't have quite the scare factor of The Conjurings or Annabelle; Creation. The scares are more direct, lacking some of the more thought-out or background ambien scenes of the others. Now, this is just compared to the rest of the series. The movie is still plenty spooky with solid visuals and cinematography.
The plots and characters are generally interesting, but the second act is a little slow as the characters potter around the convent looking for clues. Things pick up tremendously for the big finale. Although the setting is austere, there are some pretty funny lines in the script, but wisely not enough to ruin the tone.
Don't expect this to be the best of the Conjuring movies and I think you will enjoy yourself.
