Critics Consensus

The Nun boasts strong performances, spooky atmospherics, and a couple decent set-pieces, but its sins include inconsistent logic and narrative slackness.

2.5/5

Once everyone gets to the abbey, the film simply gives up the ghost and cynically indulges every horror trick in the book.

By overly relying on jump scares, "The Nun" uses a mechanical approach toward instilling fear rather than a more profound understanding of terror.

Alas, The Nun is more chaotic than most of the many, many films set in The Conjuring universe. To compare it to a ghost train would be to understate the narrative cohesion that habitually governs those seaside entertainments.

The Nun is a good horror movie. There isn’t anything truly exceptional about The Nun, but it executes the tropes of a haunting/demon story better than most. Like The Conjuring, it is a light, but very effective R-rated feature.

The movie isn’t so bad that it requires an exorcism, but audiences may still feel the need to repent… assuming they can remember what they’re repenting for.

But then you get to the storytelling which slowly sucks out the film’s potential.

El sonido, la luz y la fotografía crean toda una experiencia. Cada color bien proporcionado. Valak con un poder satánico impredecible que la hace ver seria y usa conflictos internos en contra. Aprovecharon su potencial. La temática religiosa con los vestuarios y la Abadía, que se ve estéticamente perfecta para este tono, como una casa de sustos. El trío protagónico con inquietudes distintas dan actuaciones espectaculares. Taissa Farmiga le queda perfecta, conecta fácil. El cadáver de la Monja que escalofríos da en la noche con niebla. Me encanta que ahora una silueta de una monja o ver el hábito ya me dé miedo. En general a mí me encanta esta película, está infravalorada. Supo transmitir claustrofobia cuando el padre queda atrapado en el ataúd. Cómo tres screamers baratos, no es terror como lo conocemos en cine. Algunas acciones de los personajes se sienten forzadas y clichés, la trama de Daniel no se cerró y Valak puede dar risa.
