Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I saw a review that said that there weren't enough horror films featuring nuns. Let me explain why (I'm not a religious person at all) nuns are 'married to God' and therefore they would not be violent, nor would they kill people (especially by means of coming back from the dead!). This film itself is awful. The acting reminded me of William Shatner, and NOT in a good way. I literately was narrating one scene in his voice where a woman seemed confused at the sight of water on the floor (as though she did not know what it was). The Nun itself looked like the Library Ghost from "Ghostbusters" which worked for a horror comedy, but not a straight up horror film. They even ripped off the William Shatner episode of "The Twilight Zone" (ironic) for a second to get what they thought was a scare. This film should be avoided at all costs...UNLESS you want to spend your night with a bad horror flick laughing the whole time...then it's worth it.

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.

In 1988, the abusive and deranged Nun Ursula is the principal of a Catholic boarding school in Barcelona. When she finds that the teenage student Mary is pregnant, she decides "to purify" the girl with water, almost killing her. Her class and dorm mates Joanna, Christine, Eulalia, Zoe and Susan fight with the nun and drown her in a bathtub. The six teenagers dump her body in a lake with holy water and make a pact of silence. Eighteen years later, the spirit of the nun is released from the lake and possesses the daughter of Mary, Eve, seeking revenge against the former students and killing each one of them like their saint patrons did to achieve the forgiveness of God through punishment and penitence, pain and sacrifice."The Nun" is a promising horror movie, with a good beginning but with a flawed and confused conclusion. In accordance with the brilliant deduction of the most stupid character of the story, Joel, Eve was the responsible for the deaths of her mother and her friends, through the effects of a psychological trauma in her childhood or possessed by the evil spirit of the nun, released when the lake with holy water was drained. However, the first friend to die in the story was Joanna, who lived in London. Once Eve lived in New Jersey, she could not have killed Joanna. Therefore, there is no reasonable explanation for the deaths and the end of this flick does not make any sense. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Maldição" ("Curse")

I don't usually like to comment on the acting in a movie, because it is the one thing that people who have agenda against a film will go after. In this movie, I will make an exception. The acting in this film are below average all around. I mean halfway into the film, I wonder how the hell did the producer and/or the director gets around casting such an ensemble of people who can't act. Even-though the production value was good, the ill written story just compounded on top of the bad performance of the actors, and there is even a half-hearted attempts to a twist to the ending of the movie, which ends up quite confusing. Is all the Spanish horror films this disappointing?
