Burbank, CA, October 24 – Your prayers have been answered when “The Nun” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital. New Line Cinema’s horror thriller “The Nun” explores another dark corner of the “Conjuring” universe, whose record-setting films have terrified audiences around the globe.


“The Nun” stars Oscar nominated Demian Bichir (“A Better Life”) as Father Burke, Taissa Farmiga (TV’s “American Horror Story”) as Sister Irene, and Jonas Bloquet (“Elle”) as local villager Frenchie. The cast also includes Charlotte Hope (TV’s “Game of Thrones”) as the abbey’s Sister Victoria, Ingrid Bisu (“Toni Erdmann”) as Sister Oana and Bonnie Aarons, reprising her “Conjuring 2” role as the title character.


Corin Hardy (“The Hallow”) directed “The Nun” from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman (“IT”) and story by James Wan and Dauberman, which delves into the shocking origin of the demonic Nun Valak, who first made her evil presence known in “The Conjuring 2.” “The Nun” was produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, with Richard Brener, Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter, Dauberman, Michael Clear and Todd Williams serving as executive producers.


Joining Hardy behind the scenes are director of photography Maxime Alexandre (“The Voices,” “Annabelle: Creation”), production designer Jennifer Spence (“Annabelle: Creation,” “Lights Out,” the “Insidious” films), editors Michel Aller (“Lights Out,” “Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension”) and Ken Blackwell (“Ouija,” “Friday the 13th”), and costume designer Sharon Gilham (TV’s “Black Mirror”). The music is by Abel Korzeniowski (“Nocturnal Animals”).


New Line Cinema presents an Atomic Monster / Safran Company production, “The Nun.” The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.


“The Nun” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and DVD for $28.98. The Blu-Ray Combo Pack includes a Blu-ray disc with the film in high definition, a DVD with the film in standard definition and a digital version of the movie.

Nothing says Christmas like a demonic nun!

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

So, watched this last night. I actually enjoyed it for what it was...which is basically B movie horror that leans heavily into influences from Hammer films. It does have some jump scares but I think it may actually be paced a little too slowly and carefully for some modern horror fans.

What I really enjoyed was the look of the picture, the locations and sets were outstanding I thought. The writing is nothing special but at least they pull it off visually in interesting ways for the most part. The acting is...well...what you might expect from something like this.

This definitely falls into the category of films designed to mess with Catholics as the whole nun thing and investigators sent by the Vatican are certainly meant to play more to that crowd.

Is it a good film? No, it's not. Is it entertaining? Sure, if you enjoy this sort of hokum.

I get a kick out of the line from Dana Schwartz (and may the Schwartz be with you by the way) in Ron's post above that labels this part "comedy" as I don't really think it is other than being sort of silly and containing one groan inducing joke:

A character produces a vile containing the blood of Christ which prompts a character to say "Holy shit!" and the priest to respond "The holiest."

While I probably would have omitted that from the script in their wisdom they kept that in.

So, if you like Hammer films and stories that center around Catholics protecting the world from evil, then this might be for you. Again, it looked great in the home theater and I enjoyed it mostly although the end battle was sort of yawn inducing then they tack on two additional endings after that...the final one specifically tying the film into The Conjuring franchise.

We just finished watching this and enjoyed it for what it was. Pretty much agree with Reggie’s thought above.

I think if you want a night of popcorn munching horror this film fits the bill. I picked this up for just 10 bucks which is, I think, the right price point for this film.
