tonight's feature: The Nun (2018) on Max
Apparently The Nun is a part of The Conjuring film series, about a demonic presence in the form of a nun so frightening you might think it's Marilyn Manson's mom. Set in 1952 in a Romanian monastery, this Catholic nightmare unravels as a priest and nun-to-be are sent from the Vatican to investigate a mysterious nun suicide (new band name?). They hire a French-Canadian vegetable delivery guy to guide them and after a short journey, insanely evil stuff (that may or may not be an illusion) starts happening.
Since my expectations were super low, The Nun exceeded them and turned out to be a pretty decent flick. Despite a myriad of nonsensical plot machinations that may just be the filmmakers trying way too hard, I felt like it hit a groove somewhere in the middle. But then again, how evil is a demonic force if it doesn't ultimately manage to kill anyone? By the time the girl says "this place is no longer holy" most of the main characters have seen and been tormented by toe-curling evil for hours. Anyways, if I tell you it sucked, maybe you'll be less disappointed too, so definitely don't watch it. 7 vials of the actual Blood of Christ lying around in case you need it out of 10.
