The Nun (2018)

Director: Corin Hardy. Cast: Demián Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Bonnie Aarons. 96 min. Rated R. Horror.

The Conjuring universe just keeps on giving, now addressing the origin story of the sequel's villain. This one opens with high hopes, in a Gothic castle in 1950s Romania, but silhouettes of nuns creeping out from the shadows become such a normal flora, it's just not funny anymore. And a touch of nepotism goes a long way, as Taissa Farmiga plays the younger version of her real life sister Vera from the Conjuring movies (or wait ... doesn't she?). This movie is so boring, you wish one of these messed up nuns would at least haunt you to wake you up.

Trivia: Bonnie Aarons, the actress who has played the Nun, was also the bum who jumped out from behind the wall in Mulholland Drive's freakiest scene. This lady needs no make-up to look scary.
