  • I have seen a lot of horror movies, but The Nun unfortunately bored me. Its hour-and-a-half-long plot felt like it dragged on for much longer than that and even the jumpscares were not enough to rouse me from my state of boredom.

  • I love horror and I love the Conjuring Universe movies especially, but this one just didn't do it. I saw it at a drive-in initially and couldn't see most of it because it was so dark, so I tried watching again and nope. This movie was still so dark 90% of the time. The setting also was just generally kind of boring and despite the wonderful acting of the main cast, the story just fell flat. I also find that this kind of blurred a weird line between hauntings and monster movies. The Nun was almost less scary because we saw so much of her that it really ruined the effect. That being said, the sequel is 100x better, so I'd still recommend this one for context.

5/10

The Nun is a thinly-sketched Conjuring spinoff that's light on real scares, but offers enough stylish atmosphere to make up (some of) the difference.
