"The Defiler, The Profane, The Marquis of Snakes"
It's desecrating and definitely scary. The Nun doesn't disappoint with jumpscares a plenty to haunt you and well-written backstory about the demonic nun from hell. Note, however, this movie is fun if you're up to be horrified but some terrible camerawork doesn't make it really an amazing movie.
Valak is that terrifying demonic nun from hell everyone is talking about. She's profane. She's a defiler. She's the marquis of snakes. Valak is up to spread evil, corrupting people's minds and making them commit the unholy. Going back half a century ago, we visit an abbey in Romania where word of suicide of a nun happened. Sister Irene and Father Burke investigate about the strange occurence to eventually discover about the dark history of a demon summoned many years back. Together with a villager, Maurice, they must face this demon Valak and ultimately condemn her back to hell.
Fans of The Conjuring series really anticipated the film featuring the nun from the second film. It sh*t the pants out of everyone for how terrifying it was. The same goes with this film. There are too many jumpscares to brace yourself, it won't really disappoint you from that reason alone. Two worth mentioning are the ones involving Maurice in the cemetery and Irene happening to see Valak at a mirror. Believe me when I say that all horrific scenes are well acted in an environment which also seem to be a character of its own. The actors and the setting alone are already saving graces. I wouldn't say that this film is a horror gem, however, due to some terrible camerawork that seem to be amateur-ish in taking (the ones that involve running / shaky cam). Also some jumpscares involving Valak doesn't look fine due to not so good editing. The story makes slight sense though as what we expect for continuity with the franchise.
I'm still creeped out by Valak, but despite of that, she's definitely worth a sequel or two of her own.
