This is a very interestingly done horror flick. When I say interesting, that's because the story changes direction completely especially in the final that left me surprised. Lot of the moviegoers who watched the movie felt the writers messed up the flick with the unbelievable or unconvincing ending. For me it doesn't matter. Usually I'm impressed if any movie can leave me hooked till the end. To that extent, The Nun was entertaining.All the performances are decent but I must pick out Cristina Piaget as Sister Ursula. She is so photogenic(check our her online pics) and acts with explosive talent.The movie does not explain some of the grey(confusing) areas in the story well enough, which must have left many viewers disappointed including myself. Also, what's with this evil nun screeching?! They could have toned down on her angry war cry :) Still, I appreciate what the makers have done with the performances, special effects and the haunting score.Verdict: Forget logic and relax back with a raging, dead nun breathing down your neck :)

I am a huge horror fan, particularly Spanish horror. This film had so many possibilities to be good. It's a marvelous idea, a vigilante ghost nun, as most of what has come out of Jaume Balangueró's mind. Both visual and sound effects were also pretty good. But everything was shamefully spoiled by bad direction, awful casting and a painfully bad (exposition, exposition!) script. Too bad. Maybe Balangueró should write and direct himself a remake...Moreover, I don't really understand why this had to be spoken in English by actors who can't really speak English (and when they do, they do it so bad it just makes their performances even more fake). If you look at contemporary Spanish horror films like El Orfanato or Rec, the performances are totally in tune with this type of stylish ghost story - and that is being realistic, being believable as someone like ourselves, like real people, because that is the only way horror achieves it's goal. Unfortunately, everything failed in La Monja.

The Nun is a revenge picture whereby a very strict nun is killed by her rebellious trailer trash charges and comes back years later to get even when the now adults visit their old school. Story line is predictable in spades and will hold no surprises as it slowly winds its way to the end. It is a screamer of a movie with passable acting and a below average script and screenplay. Much of the special effects are low grade and there is almost zero believability in the final battle. Still, if you look past these there is some suspense and acting jewels. If you like senseless cookie cutter screamers, you'll like this, otherwise you should pass.
