Review of The Nun (2018) by Noah P — 15 Sep 2018

AS THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE CONJOURING UNIVERSE, I REALLY EXPECTED MORE OUT OF THE NUN. THE JUMP SCARES ARE BORISH AND PREDICTABLE, AND I WASN'T REALLY THAT SCARED. I ENJOYED THE PREVIOUS CONJOURING FILMS, BUT I FEEL AS THOUGH THE NUN JUST DIDN'T LIVE UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS.

I WENT TO SEE THE NUN AFTER READING ABOUT THE CONNECTED CONJOURING UNIVERSE, AND SEEING THAT THIS IS THE NEXT ONE(LITERALLY,AND WITHIN THEIR CINEMATIC UNIVERSE, CHRONOLOGICALLY) I WAS EXCITED TO SEE WHAT ALL THE HYPE WAS ABOUT.

TO MY DISMAY, IT SEEMED LIKE I COULD HAVE JUST READ A REVIEW ABOUT THE MOVIE AFTERWARDS AND SAVED MY MONEY. THE PEOPLE THAT ACCOMPANIED ME WERE ALSO UNIMPRESSED, AND ACTUALLY ASKED ME IF WE COULD LEAVE EARLY.

I HELD OUT HOPE THAT THE ENDING WOULD TIE IT TOGETHER, AND WE'D REALIZE IT WASN'T THAT BAD, BUT I WAS ENTIRELY WRONG. I WENT IN TO THE MOVIES HOPING TO ACTUALLY BE SCARED BY A SCARY MOVIE, HOWEVER JUST LIKE MOST SCARY MOVIES THESE DAYS, IT WAS FILLED BY JUMP SCARES AND LOST POTENTIAL FOR WHAT T COULD HAVE BEEN.
