The Nun (2018)

I broke a cardinal rule today...

I went into the cinema late, and missed a few minutes of the movie...

Sigh...

Let get this show in the road...

They got the mood right.

Hammer Horror would have KILLED for the production budget of this movie.

It is a "gorgeous" looking horror movie.

Good job on the cast too.

Each, playing his/her/it's role well.

Story is a little... jumbled...

The "surprises" are no surprise at all...

The views are a few step ahead of the movie so...

Having said that,, I did not see the way the ended the movie coming, so kudos for that?

In short, a creepy movie, not necessary a horror movie...

Ya know what I mean?

So basically this movie is about?

If you watched the second conjuring, the "Nun demon"

This is kinda sorta the origins of the said demon

Lol.i no watch horror movie. Hahahaha. So dunno anything.

Only James Wan knows to "craft" suspense-horror film is proved once again.

Nun/Valak frm Conjuring 2 was so awesome....

Reviewers are tearing this film apart...more like weakest installation...its ok if it was any other film

The title Nun...dat too a super demonic entity who was such a popular figure from a vastly successful franchise definetly set the expectation high among viewers..

Feels like a quick cash grab riding on the successes of the stellar "The Conjuring" and "The Conjuring 2".

These are among James Wan's best films to date. I prefer some characters' back story obscured... you play it out in your mind as to how that character/person came to be.

If you want a good creepy horror film, I recommend "Hereditary". This one is truly disturbing with some insanely good acting performances.

Yeah..but I'd classify both Hereditary & Mother! under creppy films category

Those 2 films really stayed in mind & kept thinkin dafuq happened here...why it happened...the metaphorical references etc...very rarely films make us feel that way & those 2 films did

Conjuring 2 was closest to such memorable films while rest like Anabelle & now this Nun are meh

Will watch it...for Conjuring sake.

Sadly no Vera

Has a MUCH younger Taissa though...

Still yet to see her.

But Vera is...well...legendary.

Vera's eyes alone for good measure~

It was meh...barely any story in it. Feel like watching an episode of Supernatural, shotgun and all

At first, hesitate whether want to see this movie or not, luckily still can watch. The nun in The Conjuring 2 more scarier than this one , LOL.

This is kind of like 'Anakin's journey in becoming Darth Vader'




But if the storyline is good...then the movie will do well.

The reviews has been brutal for this movie.

I still think it is watchable, because of the high production value and the exccellent cast.

Another Two Sen

If you love Conjuring 1 & 2

DO NOT go watch this shitty movie!
DO NOT go watch this shitty movie!
DO NOT go watch this shitty movie!

I'll have to repeat it 3 times to warn you away

a quick cash grab, the plot is f*cking everywhere & disconnected, and suspense scare is non-existence, cheap jump scares that you saw it coming miles away

wasted my 2 hours of life in cinema

Hey~

'Shitty'?

Be nice.

For TS sake.

By the way 'Mara' full of jump scare also.

Hated it.

Even though I love Olga.

movie was meh, but i thought the jump scares were pretty good.

Totally agreed with you, it is watchable.
