The Nun (2018)

I think the demonic entity appearing and disappearing is getting a little abused in this one. I do like it when these kinds of movies have religious figures vs demons since it feels like an appropriate battle. There weren’t really any jumpscares which I appreciated. The 3 main characters were grounded and felt well portrayed. My biggest gripe is this movie felt slow. It’s just over 90 minutes but felt way longer. Definitely worth checking out though if you need a horror movie to watch.

0%-59% = just skip it, I find the positives and they don't exist here
