Artivels Undescribable Perfection

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

BA_Harrison Directed by Luis de la Madrid and produced by Brian Yuzna's Spanish label Fantastic Factory, The Nun is a modestly budgeted, reasonably effective horror that starts off like a supernatural I Know What You Did Last Summer (the '97 slasher is even referenced in this movie), but ends with a neat psychological twist. It's by no means perfect, suffering from some iffy CGI effects and a few dodgy performances from its largely European cast, but it does deliver in terms of creepy atmosphere, and benefits from a couple of fun, gory death scenes.The story, by Jaume Balagueró (The Darkness), sees a young woman, Eve (Anita Briem), travelling to Spain with her friends Julia (Belén Blanco) and Joel (Alistair Freeland) after she witnesses her mother being murdered by a ghostly nun. In Barcelona, Eve searches for clues to help her understand what happened, her investigation leading to the now closed Catholic boarding school attended by her mother 18 years earlier. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Eve begins to suspect that her mother was killed by the vengeful spirit of Sister Ursula, a strict nun at the school who disappeared shortly before its closure.With the ghostly nun only appearing in water, there is quite a lot of not-quite-convincing digital trickery involved, but the nun herself is suitably scary looking, and kills off her victims in some satisfyingly inventive ways, the best being a fatal elevator ride (the lift severing the victim's arms) and a decapitation by falling sheet of glass. Other less memorable deaths include a slashed throat, an impalement on a broken pipe, and the crucifixion of a woman with big hooters and a gimpy leg (the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away).5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.

mlagalinato The movie is nothing extraordinary. As a matter of fact, it is an insult to the horror genre. Nothing about it borders on scary... not even close to the threshold of scary...It's just another case of "another teenage horror movie"-seen one and you've seen em all. First few minutes in the movie and you'll know what will happen next. The worst part is, the script is blunter than the most recent installment of scary movie. Would have been better if it's written in Spanish. And don't get me started with the inside jokes and punchlines.Though i will give a little credit for the special effects. But trust me, like any other Hollywood made horror movie, CGI's and special effects has little or no effect to a horror movie's ability to scare. In fact, it makes it worse.Between the fresh faced Anita Briem and the spooky location, there's not much to see in this movie.

Scarecrow-88 "So let me get this straight, are you trying to tell me that all this is some sort of I Know What You Did 18 Summers Ago or something?"Sister Ursula(Cristina Piaget), murdered by her students and thrown in the pond near the Catholic school she taught them, returns in watery form to kill those who took her life 18 years later when the watering hole that was her place of rest is dried out by the Thermal Heating Spa planning to place their site there. Each now-adult student of Ursula's is killed in the form of the portrait of their patron saint counterparts hanging on the wall in the school which was shut down after the nun's disappearance. Eve(Anita Briem)finds her mom's throat being slit by the liquefied nun as Ursula flees out the window. It's Eve's new mission to find the other students who attended with her mom in the hopes of understanding what exactly has spurned the events taking place. She doesn't exactly understand what her mother and those students did one day many years ago and finds that each person who partook in Ursula's demise die in various gruesome ways, most right before her eyes. Eve receives assistance from a seminary student, Gabriel(Manu Fullola)with past emotional baggage of his own, when she travels to Barcelona with her high school chums looking for answers. They will make their way to the closed-down school as Eve meets with the two remaining students left alive as the nun plans to finish her quest.If one can look past the hokey premise, and terrible explanation of who the nun is by dufus Joel(Alistair Freeland), then there's some good, inspired moments in this flick. The watery nun creation is obviously more than inspired by the Ring's Samara, but she is quite a creepy concoction Yuzna and company's Fantastic Factory have come up with. Lots of gruesome decapitations such as one woman's arms being sliced off by an elevator and one woman's head being sheared off by a sliding piece of broken window glass. Anita Briem is merely okay as the heroine, but most of the cast have a hard time combating the English language. The production values are surprisingly good for a flick such as this and it's stylishly photographed. It's a glossy bad movie, but one that at least leaves somewhat an impression. The ending, as silly as it's explained, is marred with an unsatisfying resolution.

mike jones This was a good movie despite the bad acting. Alright so you guys didn't like it, whatever, you just didn't understand it. Face the facts. I watched it drunk and it all made sense to me because I'm not a dumb hoe. I like how the biblical deaths determined the real deaths. I thought it was good that the nun killing was revenge. And it was awesome that Eve dies in the end because she was present for the nun killing. Abortion should still be legal though. Oh and the nun and ursaline were the same people, if you didn't get that you are retarded. The movie was awesome, but not as good as "Dirty Love" with Jenny McCarthy. She shakes her titties like whoa in that. In conclusion, i liked this movie and if you didn't then you're a tool of the man. All nuns should be burnt at the stake
