POSITIVES…
- “the Nun;” also know as “Valak,” is easily one of the scariest looking horror movie characters in recent years. Just looking at the still image of it freaks me out.
- Demian Bichir and Taissa Farmiga are decently good in this film.
- They had some good ideas for some scary and creepy set pieces here.
- As a horror movie, it technically has all the right elements to scare people.
NEGATIVES…
- Unfortunately, besides the technical aspects of the film-making, the movie is just not that scary.
- It’s only scary in the basest technical manner, but the tone and direction doesn’t properly translate well for the audience.
- There are scenes in the movie that are genuinely creepy, but somehow they still came off somewhat tame for a horror movie.
- The scariest scene involving The Nun / Valak can be found on the Conjuring 2, which is my way of saying that this movie doesn’t completely live up to the horror potential of the character.
