Overview

Fantastic Factory presents another spooky Spanish horror tale with The Nun, a pseudo-slasher ghost story that finds an evil water-nymph nun seeking vengeance against her murderers from years before. Before her disappearance, Sister Úrsula was highly feared in her boarding school. Often tormenting her students with her own brand of extreme religious zealotry, this nightmarish nun was deathly strict with her code of ethics. When one of her 15-year-old pupils is found to be pregnant, the nun forces her into a dangerous spiritual cleansing that ends in tragedy when the girl's five classmates break up the torture session and inadvertently kill Úrsula in the process. Upon the reopening of the school almost 20 years later, two of the group's survivors end up dead, which forces the rest of the old friends to face their own demons over what happened that fateful night. With the help of the now-teenaged daughter of the original student, the group confronts the very thing that haunts their dreams and forever links them together in hushed silence.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Jeremy Wheeler
The Nun is horror nunsploitation at its most tired and obvious, thanks to the silly overblown effects that hamper this leg-dragging Spanish effort. As with most of Fantastic Factory's other productions, the film has a deep and rich look to it that immediately sets it apart from its straight-to-video contemporaries. Sadly, the killer nun in question is relegated to mid-grade computer effects that while ambitious for a low-budget outing, are entirely devoid of precious scares and originality. Sure, the picture has got some gore on its scoreboard, but that usually comes too little, too late. Only the opening moments of supernatural nun action feel fresh and exhilarating, with the rest of the film resting solely on watery ghost effects that play out in an entirely bland and non-frightening way. With an absurd twist at the end putting the final nail in the coffin, The Nun sputters to a maddening halt, joining the ranks of scary nun movies that rarely deliver.
