review represent nunsploitation films. they have been around since forever. a few that pop to mind are the mexican devil worshiping movie alucarda and night of the demons 2 and the convent and of course dante tomasellis desecration. cant blame somebody for trying to exploit a religious or holy image and twisting it around to make it scary. if done right and it works. here comes the most recent addition to the nunsploitation sub genre simply titled the nun. the story is about this group of girls that live in a catholic school. in this school there a nun who is particularly cruel to one of the girls. the girls acting in self defense against the abusive nun accidentally kill her and then decide to bury her and tell no one. fast forward 18 years later and the nun is back searching for revenge from those who killed her. this movie was produced by brian yuznas fantastic factory. you know and the company that makes horror movies in spain. need a reminder of the kind of movies that this company churns out. well heres a small reminder represent arachnid and darkness and romasanta represent the werewolf hunt and rottweiler. you get the picture. about the only really good movie that this company has produced (in my opinion) was stuart gordons dagon. thats it. oh no and wait and i believe they also produced the excellent christian bale vehicle the machinist. but thats it. so when i consciously rented this movie and i knew i wasn not going to watch anything that was mind blowingly good. still and with all that mental preparation i was disappointed. one of the only good things this movie has going for it is its slick look. the movie has some nice cinematography. it doesn not look like a cheap horror film. the movies special effects were alright and with the nun being able to travel through water. well and that was an image that lended it self for some cool fx moments that sometimes scratched into cheesy territory but sometimes were cool enough to watch. i dug that scene with the nun hurling herself at people like a bucket of water. its not a particularly deadly move and but it made for a cool visual. there some gore here but not a lot of it. one particular scene involving an elevator death was cool and but sadly the movie hit its peak with that scene. and it was only half way through. after that and nothing really cool happens and the movie deludes into an incredible borefest. the movie just turns into the nun popping up every now and then to give us a boo scare and she would kill someone and then cut. we get back to the characters talking crap and going through rooms and opening doors and you get the drill. and i just personally hate it when a horror movie turns into that. people opening doors and going into rooms. boring. and when the characters do talk its terrible dialog. in one particularly stupid scene a character decides right out of the blue that the nun turns into flesh and blood whenever she is in the water so thats they way to go to try and kill her. and everyone just says ok. and they all elaborate this plan to kill the nun in a water tank. now and who gave that guy this info and why did the others just take it for granted. who the hell knows and but its scenes like that that make the movie look stupid. and yet another thing that got in the way of my enjoyment of this film was the fact that they used spanish actors who have a very thick accent. when they try to speak english its very hard to make out what the hell they are trying to say. id prefer to have them be dubbed then try and figure out what they are saying and become frustrated. the fact that this dvd has no english subtitles do not help matters either. so in conclusion and this is a movie that has some slick visuals and nice sound effects but a terrible terrible script. i guess this just goes to show that you might have the biggest budget or the best special effects and but if your movie has a bad script with terrible characters and situations that your audience cant connect with and then you have still got a bad movie. such was the case with the nun. if you want to have some real fun with evil nuns and rent any of the films i mentioned at the beginning of this review. now and as for the makers of this film and they should go say ten hail maries and light fifty candles to their saint of choice to see if they will be forgiven for making this sinfully terrible film. rating represent 2 out of 5.
