Critical reception
Despite box office success, critics term it 'empty'
Despite 'The Nun' enjoying a stunning box office performance, the critics gave it a thumbs-down. The story follows a Catholic priest and his apprentice investigating demonic activities in 1952 Romania. What could have been a terrifying origin story of Valak, became a botched up jump-scare riddled movie. Nonetheless, the franchise's popularity catapulted it, and we hope the box office success inspires better bone-chilling films.
