I was kind of looking forward to seeing it. The movie also had a pretty good director and writers behind it. It’s funny because one of the writers wrote Annabelle Creation. For anyone who has seen it though: is it boring, like the first Annabelle?

Hmm, seems more mixed than bad. The consensus reads as follows at the moment:
“...The Nun boasts strong performances, spooky atmospherics, and a couple decent set-pieces, but its sins include inconsistent logic and narrative slackness.“

I'm supposed to see it tomorrow with someone that still hasn't seen M:I - Fallout, which I've seen four times. Should I go for #5 just to skip this?
I say yes.

As much as I liked Fallout, I can't imagine sitting through it five times in such quick succession. Or even at all, really. That said, you'd probably get more out of a fifth viewing than one viewing of The Nun. We're talking one generic ass movie here.

Wan is the only guy that seems to put some effort into these movies. I'll be honest, I could watch Fallout 10 more times. It seems like it was tailor-made for me as an action movie fan.

Seriously, it's just so good. And the soundtrack is awesome as well (especially "Freefall", "The Exchange", and "Stairs and Rooftops"). I'm excited to see where Lorne Balfe goes.

I didn't even like the first Conjuring, but it's still a better film than The Ho-Hum.

The first Conjuring was excellent and one of the better horror films of the new millenium! and i liked part 2 and the spin-offs were mediocre. But at least they are TRYING to make a new horror franchise and a new horror icon which is better than digging up dead tired old horror franchises like Child's Play, Elm Street, Friday The 13th, Halloween, Hellraiser, Saw, Scream and Texas Chainsaw Massacre up from the grave as i just want those franchises to rest in peace in favor of new horror icons and new horror franchises, i mean try again Hollywood to give a fuck and make a horror franchise that is new and make a new horror icon.

I loved the first 2 conjurings so this sounds like a massive drop in quality. Shame, I was really hoping theyd keep on a roll with this franchise/universe.

I can name a hundred horror movies this millennium I thought were better. These just feel like haunted house rides, where we walk into X location and wait for something to pop out at us. Only instead of me and real life, I'm watching it happen to flat characters on a big screen, which is like watching other people play video games. There's pretty much no atmosphere, and once it's over, I forget all about it because pure jump scares have no lasting impact. Compare that to Hereditary, which I saw 3 days ago and I'm STILL creeped out walked around at night with the lights off. Plus they're completely derivative and unoriginal, so no bonus points from me for trying to create a "new" horror franchise or "new" horror icon. At least those remakes and sequels are honest about what they are.

Hated the sequels as they became just about the traps, though. And I enjoy the first couple of Hellraisers, which are fairly imaginitive horror fantasty, especially Hellbound. Hereditary, which I mentioned in my previous post, is not a gorefest.

I'll give credit to the franchise, they tend to tie some storylines/characters into one another.

Was the young nun who helped Irene a ghost? Yes, it's explained that Irene has had "visions" all of her life.

No, the one who helped Irene was a different nun who was long dead by the time the protagonists arrived. Irene only saw her and the other nuns because she was experiencing a vision of the past. Basically Irene saw how they lived their last moments.
