'THE NUN': Three Stars (Out of Five)
A prequel/spin-off to the 2016 supernatural thriller 'THE CONJURING 2', and the fifth installment in the 'CONJURING' film franchise. It tells the story of a priest and a novice who are sent to Romania (in 1952), by the Vatican, to investigate the apparent suicide of a nun there, and they encounter a powerful demonic force. The movie was directed by rookie filmmaker Corin Hardy, and it was written by Gary Dauberman and series creator James Wan. The film stars Demian Bichir, Taissa Farmiga (the sister of 'CONJURING' star Vera Farmiga) and Jonas Bloquet. It's expected to be another huge hit at the Box Office (like the others in the series), but this one has gotten mostly negative reviews from critics so far. I really enjoyed parts of it, but I was also really bored for large chunks of it as well, but that can be said for the other installments in the series too (except for the original). I also found the trailer for the movie to be a lot creepier and more disturbing than the actual film. The film is actually kind of fun, more so than scary, despite it being pretty dull at times as well.
