About this movie

When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest (Demian Bichir) with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows (Taissa Farmiga) are sent by the Vatican to investigate. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorized audiences in “The Conjuring 2,” as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.

Ratings and reviews

I had the same problem with The Nun as I had with all previous installments in this series. I feel as if the directors lay out a false promise of a much deeper richer universe that ever actually gets portrayed in each individual movie. Like a lot of movies these days, they have a very much James Patterson novel feel to them. Not a lot of depth, yet some how you find yourself mildly entertained enough to continue watching/reading until it's finale.

when this movie was in theaters i heard great things about it. I loved The Conjuring and Annabelle was ok so i was excited To watch this one. Several of my friends said it was one of the best horror movies they have seen. Did we watch the same movie? So Very Predictable! The acting was ok but most of the makeup/special effects was just bad. I really really wanted to like this movie but I just couldn't.

Plot is basically the same like every Annabelle film. The first bits of it, like 20 minutes or so was fine but as it goes on it gets tiresome, lazy and the explanation as to why the gateway to hell opens up again is laughable. You barely ever see the Nun, it's mostly her shadows walking around the building and it's suppose to somehow be scary. Its attempt at humor was ridiculous. None of it works. And I Here I thought the Annabelle films were bad
