Viewer reaction
“Overall I liked The Nun it was a spooky fun movie with some pretty good shots and scenes (lighting, camera angles, and such).”
Viewer reaction
“Appallingly cliched. Slow and boring. Not even the Conjuring hype could save this film. It moves forward at a painful pace, brings nothing new to…”
Viewer reaction
“Horror is baaaaack! And with a vengeance. The Nun is not for people that don’t like horror movies or burnt out on them. Don't expect…”

Viewer reaction
“The Nunjuring! When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate…”
