In 1988, the abusive and deranged Nun Ursula is the principal of a Catholic boarding school in Barcelona. When she finds that the teenage student Mary is pregnant, she decides "to purify" the girl with water, almost killing her. Her class and dorm mates Joanna, Christine, Eulalia, Zoe and Susan fight with the nun and drown her in a bathtub. The six teenagers dump her body in a lake with holy water and make a pact of silence. Eighteen years later, the spirit of the nun is released from the lake and possesses the daughter of Mary, Eve, seeking revenge against the former students and killing each one of them like their saint patrons did to achieve the forgiveness of God through punishment and penitence, pain and sacrifice.
"The Nun" is a promising horror movie, with a good beginning but with a flawed and confused conclusion. In accordance with the brilliant deduction of the most stupid character of the story, Joel, Eve was the responsible for the deaths of her mother and her friends, through the effects of a psychological trauma in her childhood or possessed by the evil spirit of the nun, released when the lake with holy water was drained. However, the first friend to die in the story was Joanna, who lived in London. Once Eve lived in New Jersey, she could not have killed Joanna. Therefore, there is no reasonable explanation for the deaths and the end of this flick does not make any sense. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Maldição" ("Curse")
