Anna (Lacy Hartselle ) finds herself stuck in a rental with the murdering ghost of Sister Catherine (Rae Hunt). She is aided by maintenance man and ghost hunter KK (Brad Belemjian).

The ghost wears a rubber mask. In the doorway scene with KK, the bottom gap of the maks is clearly visible for quite a few seconds. Also uses a voice distorter.

The film had some elements of "1408" but the antics were inconsistent. I am not sure how one can kill a ghost with a sledgehammer when bullets go through them. Anna had a number of illusions, I guess to trick her, but to do what exactly?

Guide: No sex or nudity. I thought I heard the F-word from the maintenance man.

Quite terrible movie. Not scarry at all, rather funny at some moments. Tried to copy conjuring I suppose with no luck unsurprisingly.

A curse indeed.....
marcel_shai21 June 2020
A great movie, if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I sincerely believe there should be some sort of commity that should prevent this kind of mess from ever making it to the screen.

I certainly agree with the title of this film about one thing ..... certainly a curse😡.

big knockoff
xyle66617 September 2018
This is nothing more than a attempt to grab cash from the crowd thats dumb enough to think that its the movie from the conjuring series. looking at carhurs review really kind of verifies that since he seems to be one of those people. just a shoddy b horror

Who else accidentally watched this instead of The Nun?
Rach-golder7 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Within the first 15 minutes it became apparent I'd click on the wrong movie. Stuck with it just to see what happened in the end. Confusing storyline, bad acting and 87 minutes of my life and a pay per view fee I'll not get back. One thing I took from it is pay the correct price for pizza... I think everything's ok if you don't shortchange the pizza guy by 3 cents

Serious Question: Was this made by people in high school?
annavictoriason7 July 2019
The film opens in a very cheap setting with miserable camera angles hosted by the worst acting I have seen in a long time. Instantly I'm made to think this is how the idea was born..."Hey John!!! Mom left her camera here, do you want to shoot a movie?!" Throughout the film the dialogue is dreadfully slow. The dead space between each sentence builds boredom like I have never felt before. The entire film could have been half the time. The only part that made me feel anything aside from bored was the kissing, what I was feeling was a dry heave sensation. Super awkward kissing. Another thing, the lead actress looks 19, and her daughter looks about 8.

I rather catch pnuemonia and die...

Story is bad. Acting is bad. Cinematography is bad. Everything is bad. Tried to copy Conjouring but even the title is a bad rip-off.

Absolutely garbage
berg-7453217 May 2019
Ridiculous dialogue starting with the lead actress first minutes on screen. We find out that the daughter of the lead in last place they lived she had to sleep on the floor so you would this she would whatever she had to so the her kid had a place with a bed but the first thing you here her say your not going to make me change my look nose ring and for some blonde hair. She is more concerned about keeping the nose ring more then her daughter getting a bed. At no point in this movie did the lead not look like she was acting every move every word. All of her interactions you could see that nothing was natural you could see she had to think before doing anything, the worst acting had to be after the nun stabs her in the stomach no blood at all and from this scratch again there is no blood and she starts to pass out from a scratch. I'm trying to think I've seen worse acting and nothing comes to mind. Maybe a tiny bit of can be said for her strong female lead and she keeps her clothes on which is novel but she is so bad this movie is not worth the time. Unless you've done something you feel you need to be punished for and can't think of how to punish this will do nicely.

Clearly a 'Nun' knock-off, but does that make it bad?
parry_na6 February 2021
Well, yes - this is a knock-off of 2018's 'The Nun'; but then, everything is a knock-off of something, just with varying degrees of blatancy. Surely if 'Curse of the Nun' is entertaining in its own right, there's no problem, is there?

A low budget venture, director/writer Aaron Mirtes and his cast of actors must know how this production will be regarded as a copy, yet they still give it their all. Lacy Hartselle is particularly good in the title role of Anna, infusing her character with gusto, energy and spirit. There is no real let-up in the haunting either - they are there from the get-go and keep on coming until the end credits.

My only issues are than Anna looks incredibly young to have a daughter and to be embarking on her second marriage - also the recurring 'hook' of her questionable attitude to the pizza delivery lad remains in the memory (which is its purpose, I think), but for the wrong reasons: it does her otherwise likeable character no favours whatsoever.

Knock-off or not, this has nothing to do with 2018's film, other than the ghostly manifestation of the title, and as a venture in its own right, isn't a bad way to spend 80 minutes of your time. My score is 7 out of 10.

Worst media file ever
tomsonst20 January 2019
I dont think that this should be called a movie. A repeated story, with bad direction,bad cast and bad scenes

What a piece of revolting trash this movie is
lynnebriangoldstein21 September 2019
The most horrifying thing about this pitiful excuse for a middle school film project is the acting, the plot, the writing: heck, it is all terrible. Only watch this is you are about to hang yourself and want yet another reason to.

Awful
owenfleet25 November 2018
This is genuinely the worst horror film I have ever seen, possibly the worst film I have ever seen. Bad acting, bad effects, bad storyline, everything about this film was bad. Even the prop gun lacked any real authenticity when shot. I understand this is a low budget film, but honestly, I think they would have been better saving the budget from this film and putting it towards something different. Avoid - unless you like your life being wasted!

Comic
ivalunathansen3 September 2019
I thought I was going to watch a horror movie. It's a comedy/horror movie. I didn't watch the movie more than 5 minutes. You are not supposed to laugh to horror movies 👎🏻 I would give zero stars if it was possible

Warning: Spoilers
Really horrible from the start. The main actress appears to be 16 years old (though was 25 when she made this), so the first scene is immediately confusing as it appears a teenage daughter is moving out with her family. She doesn't even give the pizza delivery guy a tip which also seems like a teenage thing to do. Come to find she's the adult mom in the story, but always seems to be 16 throughout the movie. So many other problems though. A spirit nun who can hover and switch forms has to use the ladder up to the attic? And you can somehow hide from her at certain times but others she knows exactly what you're up to. Really poorly thought out. I liked The Nun movie originating from the Conjuring series. This is like the sequel made by high schoolers who aren't into films and didn't research the background (because high schoolers with any interest in film would have done 10 times better).

Too bad to even be funny
elisaymeza22 January 2019
Such a bad film. Poor script, no thought has gone into the plot, it's disjounted, jumps from theme to theme, zero story continuity. Just doesn't make any sense. Obviously trying to jump onto 'the nun' popularity. A very poor imitation. Absolutely no redeeming features. Don't bother.

Curse of the Boring
shanitaboswell25 March 2020
I came upon this movie while lurking through my Vudu feed and decided to give it a shot. I mean, why not since we are under quarantine due to COVID-19. I thought this movie would be a fun, little scare. Boy, was I wrong. I would much rather watch paint dry. The characters are too simple to even try to like, the story line is mediocre at best and the acting makes me wanna fall asleep. The only good thing about this movie is seeing the end credits pop up on the screen.I HIGHLY recommend people to stay away from this cinematic train wreck

Get a grip, girl
michaelRokeefe5 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Thanks to a new husband, Anna (Lacy Hartselle), is ready to move to a beautiful new home. As she gathers the last of things from her rental house, she can't help but think of her troubled past and her long goth experience. Anna can't stop feeling unworthy of the new life ahead or her. As she tries to finish up and leave, a strange spirit overcomes her and tries to keep her in the house. That spirit seems to be of a deranged Nun somehow stuck in purgatory demanding that young Anna keep her company. The story is tedious making the movie a bit jerky and not scary at all. Rounding out the cast: Brad Belemjian, Alice Raver, Jonathan Everett and Rae Hunt as Sister Catherine.

Seriously, stop trolling with bad reviews.
infobroker-3125511 October 2019
Honestly this movies pretty good, its not the best horror flic but I've seen alot worst movies then this and I'm amazed at how many people want to give this a horrible review, I literally just signed up for this website to say this, do not always trust awful reviews, japanese horror is so much worse then this except the grudge series, honestly just watch the movie and see for yourself. I give it 8/10 because I think its a good movie but It doesn't deserve these other horrible reviews But I don't want to be misleading by giving it 10/10 just because of people who want to play critic this is my first and last review on this site.

A weird horror film
wwebros26 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
First of all the whole movie takes place in daylight lol but still manages to get some scary stuff in but the acting is pretty bad and I wouldn't watch it again because it's boring for the first hour of the movie and some of the nun scenes are dumb the way they are. One scene shows a plate falling out of a covert and it's suppose to be scary like bruh the movie is right below a "Meh"
