The Nun

Let's talk Ghost Logic for a moment. I know it's kind of a touchy subject, because it involves God's sovereignty and Natural Law and a bunch of other theological concepts not very popular nowadays. But you picked a demon movie in a convent, so you brought it on yourselves. Ghosts can bend the laws of nature, but can't break them. They can lead human minds to madness, but can't just take them over willy-nilly. The moment these concepts are broken, the scare isn't scary. It's stupid.

I can only see a silhouette of a nun like thirty times in a movie before I stop caring completely.

A welcome addition to the series. Historically, horror sequels and spin offs take a dramatic nose dive in quality by the fifth installment, but this series is still going strong. When you compare it to the "The Conjuring," there's no contest. This one is lighter on scares, yet ups the ante on physical danger. But when you compare it to the vast majority of horror movies out there, "The Nun" is still a wildly entertaining and thrilling horror movie.

I had some mixed feelings about this. I thought the nun was creepy towards the beginning of The Conjuring 2, but less creepy the more I saw her in the film. I felt the same way about her in this. I also didn't think all of the characters were done extremely well, but I guess that's okay for a 90 minute movie that's just a filler. Decent cinematography, production design, and acting, but it could have been scarier. It ties into the universe better than I thought it would.

It's bland and doesn't earn its jump scares, while also not being the worst horror movie I've ever seen. They overused the actual nun and it lost its impact. I think they should have kept her imagery locked away for a little and then when you finally fully see her it would have been more terrifying, because the character works in very small doses. Every other element is okay but whatever, I wouldn't recommend seeing it unless you're a Conjuringverse fanatic, which I'm not.
