A horror film in which a priest and a novice investigate a nun's suicide.
Too rackety and hackneyed to scare, The Nun groans next to the likes of Hereditary. Only the moody, menacing abbey inspires the right levels of belief.
It may be a familiar old dark castle runaround, but Corin Hardy delivers eerie images and nerve-scraping sound effects. Lapsed Catholics, in particular, will have nun nightmares after this.
Messy and underwhelming addition to The Conjuring universe.
The Nun is watchable to a point, but a suggestion would be to await the release on whatever streaming service has the rights to every film and binge the entire set. They do better together than individually.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
