The Nun

After a pre-credit episode featuring a nun and the comic character Kay Kay, we are quickly introduced to Anna and her family. She and her dentist husband Mike move into their own housing after renting a house from Mike's grumpy aunt, a real estate agent, Donna, for a while. Claire, Anna's daughter from a previous marriage, moves in with them. It seems that the family is starting a new life, but a demonic nun named Sister Catherine wants Claire to stay a little longer. And by "a little" she means "forever." As soon as Mike drives Claire to school and Anna is left alone in the house, shit hits the fan. I was shocked by the frenzied pace that sets the film to the fifteen-minute mark. He's damn relentless, which is definitely cool, but I wondered why the violence is so intense so early. Will the film be able to withstand such a pace? As it turned out, yes, he can, of course, with several strategically well-placed quiet moments. Be prepared: this is a movie that will push you almost from start to finish. Exciting, yes, but on a technical level, the film leaves much to be desired. The acting, at least, is good, and the design of the creatures and the makeup of the nun were just great...
