Review of The Nun (2018) by Craig K — 01 Oct 2018
The Good:
- The environment of the Abbey in which the story takes place is genuinely creepy.
- Sister Irene and Father Burke are likable and well acted.
- The story connects into the Conjuring universe well.
- In general, this film is well shot.
The Bad:
- This film isn't scary.
- It relies way, way too much on jump scares.
- Unsurprisingly, the main group of characters seem to lose any common sense that they had the second they saw the Abbey.
- There are a few attempts at comedy, but they fall flat.
- The effects on the Nun later in the movie are pretty dang bad.
- The story just isn't very good. It's extremely predictable and doesn't deliver on its promise of being "the darkest chapter" of the Conjuring universe.
Overall, The Nun was a huge disappointment. I wanted to be scared, but instead I found myself chuckling towards the end.
