Review of The Nun

The Nun (2005)
8/10
"Not all water is holy", & not all Lionsgate horror movies suck
29 April 2006
A nice solid "A-/B+ list" horror.

Some really great low budget special FX. The water FX are like Dark Water Jr. The nun character is creepy as heck. Especially the way they filmed her in water then super-imposed her. Good acting, especially considering the cast was primarily Spanish with a few Brits. The cinematography, editing & directing were good, nothing spectacular.

At the very end there's a twist that we didn't really think was necessary, but it didn't kill the movie. It did have a few horror movie clichés, but most horror movies do. That's why they're "horror movie clichés".

It's nowhere near the worst movie ever, for that see "Reality Kills", "The Off-Season" or "Ankle Biters". We look for the crappy, "what the heck were they thinking" movies. We thought this was going to be one. We were shocked to find that it's just plain not one.
