unlike the first two "Conjuring" movies, which exist in ether and anticipation, "The Nun" is a distinctly tangible movie; it comes closest to its ideal form of go-to midnight-movie, the fun younger cousin of the Conjuring movies with less build-up
Review rate : Bby Dana Schwartz[Entertainment Weekly ]
The Nun isn't quite as frightening as that publicity triumph would suggest; but, it's good clean fun nevertheless, and the set pieces expertly supply the tension-and-release satisfactions of the genre
The Nun is the first one that—charmingly—feels like it was actually made in a bygone decade; Hardy wrings chills from carefully crafted cinematography and production design, imaginative staging and creepy locations that add to the authenticity
most of the film is a disappointingly dull and arduous journey until then, a mix of slow-burn religious mystery and old-school adventure that egregiously fails to utilize its greatest hit: Bonnie Aarons' terrifyingly freaky villainess of the cloth
