When it leans into its camp, (I.e. when the French-Canadian “Frenchie” is on screen), The Nun comes closest to its ideal form of go-to midnight-movie, the fun younger cousin of the Conjuring movies with less build-up but more of the money shots you’ll come to a theater to see.
The real nun in the movie is the heroine, played by a spirited Taissa Farmiga, and the dramatic weight falls on her able shoulders.

This film is highly enjoyable. Whilst the film suffers from some poor musical placement choices, the film delivers a thrill ride of laughs and action. The Nun is a return to the classic monster film such as Frankenstein. If you wish to see the back broken of Nun's, Frenchies and more Nuns; this is your film.

As a piece of the larger Conjuring universe puzzle, The Nun is a fun, if ineffectual history lesson that will provide fans with plenty of dots to connect. On its own merits, The Nun stumbles by not delivering any real terror or investment in its characters, instead resting on its strong visuals and atmosphere and, strangely, humor.
A presence that initially was disturbing grows repetitive and almost predictable over the course of an entire film.
Despite its clammy atmosphere and two credible and appealing leads, the movie is mechanical in its rhythms and unimaginative in its terrors.
The Nun resorts to makeup effects to put a frightening face on its supposedly scary sisters.
It’s about as effective as a Walgreens Halloween display, where any terror derives from uninspiring shock value, and given that each and every pop-up scare can be seen from over a mile away, the movie fails in that respect, too. It’s exhausting even.
The Nun is directed by Corin Hardy, written by Gary Dauberman and starring Taissa Farmiga, Bonnie Aarons, Demián Bichir and Jonas Bloquet.
Story by James Wan and Gary Dauberman, and it's about The Nun that we saw in The Conjuring 2, this one is about what created and made The Nun. It's about priest with a haunted past, goes with a novice to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.
Okay, this movie was AWESOME! Not as awesome as The Conjuring 2, but it's definitely a decent horror movie and one of the best horror movies of all the time!
I actually saw this movie from a different point of view, people said that this movie was full of horror-pranks scenes, but they weren't pranks -at least for me- she was trying to make them go away, by trying to kill Father Burke, and scaring Sister Irene. This how I actually saw the horror scenes, I found story in them too actually!
I actually went to see this movie unexcited, because of its ratings, and I was just trying to find any mistake in it, but I found none. That actually impressed me in every way, everything in this movie was just amazing, the horror scenes terrified me, maybe not that much I was expecting, but it worked with me in so many ways, the story too was very good, and performances.. oh, the performances were talented in every single possible way especially Taissa Farmiga, she's the BEST!
I can talk about this movie for years, it's full of awesomeness! And as I said this is because I have another opinion that I think that it's right, and I hope everyone to see it as I do.
This movie is underrated and underestimated very much, and it's unfair, I will always be waiting for the day that everyone said that this movie isn't good to say "Hear us out, we've been wrong about The Nun!".
One more thing people said about this movie, they said that it's noisy -they mean the soundtrack- and when I watched it I found it amazing and I bought the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack the following day. It was very very good, especially when The Nun shows up, it made her great, dark and scary, beside the OST was incredible in every single way!
I loved everything about The Nun, it's my second favorite horror movie of all the time, it comes after The Conjuring 2.. this franchise is keeping impressing me in every movie they make.. and now it's the best horror franchise of all the time and one of the best franchises at all! I think that I'm the biggest fan ever of this movie and the entire franchise!
I'm gonna give The Nun an A+.
Thank you, guys for reading my review and I wish to get your comments about my reviews to get better.

If the scary/thriller movie genre is not your cup of tea, then this movie is clearly not for you. However, if you enjoy a good scary movie, this is also not the movie for you. The Nun is a movie that relies heavily on cheap jump scares (ones not even delivered well) and seems to just drag on, mostly because of side plot(s) that add little to nothing to the movie other than a padded runtime. There were some decent visuals throughout the movie that grab your interest, but mostly it just goes through the scary movie cliches checklist. And why in these movies do these evil demons from hell mess with everyone like some bad prankster? Overall, The Nun was a poorly told scary movie, that really wasn't that scary.

Vow To No More Wow.
The Nun
Hardy's drama is, yes, scary, but also comes with a ton of baggage that cannot be negotiated. This is what I have loved and flinched about this franchise, it dares constraint the all mighty power- "God Ends Here" it whispers- but fumbles to prove it. This mixed feeling is what's left in your hand at the end of the exorcism, is it a marketing tease or inadequacy, only God knows; if it is in its territory. The knack for drawing out humor and delivering cliched cinematic dialogues in an extremely tensed environment disenchants the viewers from its dark perilous vision and compromises the quality.
Antics are smart enough to scar you let alone scare you, but as much as gripping as these sequences are, the build up of them aren't weaved out with clean execution, there is a lot of uncertainty in their own laws, the mythology lacks the malleability to blatantly announce or demand their rights. This installment is the most animated of all, and surprisingly the scariest of all, the neat environment and the poised nature of the demons is something to be inspired from.
The real culprit is the predictability of the film, not for the characters, but for the sequences that the maker loves immensely, it aches you to see someone with so much effort working on one big hokum. There is no other room for the cast to invest, it is all Farmiga, from the curse to the blessing. If this is a horror served us by the makers, she comes off as the impenetrable beauty, the kryptonite to the evil, her performance justifies all the work done by her elder sister in previous installments. The Nun is worthy of a vow as far as thrills are concerned, drama has to be searched for and later be disappointed by.
