The Nun (2005)





Years after graduation, the alumnae of a girls' Catholic school are terrorized by the ghost of a sadistic nun from their high school.

Someone or something, is picking off women and making it appear to be suicides or accidents. After the first two victims are killed, a woman sees what appears to be a nun at both scenes.
During a Senior trip to Barcelona, a young woman named Eve, attempts to do research on the school and the nun, since everything occurred in Spain. She meets a priest who helps her to track down another former student and friend of her mom.  Together, they learn that the school had been closed since 1988 the same year the nun disappeared.

After just missing the third victim, Eve and her friends head toward their school to warn the surviving women of what happened. She finds the them and tells them that Sister Ursula is the one killing people. They vehemently deny that it's her because Sister Ursula is dead. Eve presses on, determined to figure out the cause of the murders. Meanwhile nunny is just picking them off - One by one with water related deaths - while working her way towards Eve. Apparently she plays a larger role in this story than is initially let on and according to the other two, she's completely responsible.

I saw this and said, "A movie about a killer nun? I do believe that's a first." Nope, second. Almost forgot about Nude Nuns with Big Guns. Which was fucking terrible. The bar was set so low. How could you fuck that up? Well, let's make like we're on that Street and Count (Ah ah ah):

  1. Movie is pretty boring. Definitely slow in the beginning.
  2. The Audio is too damn low!
  3. You're at the school, the Nun has killed about 3 people already. She's in the school making spooky shit happen. Everyone is arming themselves. When do you have time for a sex scene? Oh wait the lights are back on, now you don't want it?
  4. So an entity made of water becomes flesh and blood when completely submerged in water? Wait, this thing kills with water and you plan to flood an area to kill it?
  5. The Nun is a ghost. A water based ghost. What exactly do you plan to do with a harpoon? And where exactly did you get a harpoon? Why are there two?
  6. So...you've killed a ghost with a harpoon. What's next?
And the ending shoehorned in a completely ridiculous. improbable and impossible twist considering the story that was told and how the first two kills occurred.

The Nun is beyond weak. I'm 0-2 with killer nun movies. I guess they just aren't entertaining. There were a few films I wished I could give a negative score to. Then I realized that it's my blog and I'ma do what I wants to do.



Violence? Yes
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
