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?

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

This is kinda sorta the origins of the said demon

Has a MUCH younger Taissa though...

The reviews has been brutal for this movie.

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

Erm... to each their own?

Aw... you are all hearts...

The Nun (2018) (Addendum)

Managed to watch the making of, and interestingly alot of GOOD scenes ended up on the cutting floor?

What the hey...

This movie's sound design is OFF THE CHART.

Your sub-woofer gets a workout.

Slave driver....

The Nun II

Hello kiddies.

The seventh month (Chinese calendar has passed) and that has not stop the creepy ghouls from crawling out of the wood works and of course your local cinema for that matter.

After the release of The Nun 2018, there were criticism that it... lack scares.

I kinda like it.

I like how that movie "brought" the conjuring movies universe out of America

The setting was very spooky and have to add the story could have been scarier.

Fast forward to 2023, after a scary pandemic, can The Nun 2 conjure out more scares.

The short answer is YES!

Again the European setting after WWII is really "cinematic" the first kill is really BRUTAL!

The recall of Sister Irene is.... I lack tact... is really implausible. The only reason I can think if is her recall to the "case" is to have a fall "person" if the situation when south (eg Father Burke did not make it)...

Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) and the main lead. With additional characters Debra (Storm Reid, whom I last saw in Invisible Man), Kate (Anna Popplewell, syes I am as surprise as you) and Sophie (Katelyn Rose Downey).

The second death is .... also brutal but strange as in no one queried about it (a delivery person dies/go missing and the store she worked for did nothing???)!?!

Then again I have watched enough horror movies to insist on logical when none exist... (I should have known better).


The scares are will designed and executed.

Overall this is a much better horror movie compared with the first The Nun.

Just don't try to look for logic.
