This installment comes from the once-reliable "Conjuring" series. Following a predictable pattern that will either frustrate or please fans of scary movies, "The Nun" provides a sufficient number of familiar frights to keep it reasonably entertaining. There's a lot of wandering through shadowy hallways and graveyards, with lanterns serving as our main protection from the darkness. If you’re willing to accept that director Corin Hardy isn't attempting to redefine horror and is instead playing it safe, then you might find yourself enjoying this film. But if you’re one of those people who always complains about a lack of originality, it’s best to skip it—maybe try coming up with something fresh yourself. The individual scary scenes are pretty good (the buried alive sequence really gets to you), though the unsettling atmosphere is sometimes broken by Abel Korzeniowski's over-the-top musical score. The plot is engaging enough, including explanations for why this entity is causing trouble at the abbey, its connection to the "Warren" family, and Father Burke’s (Demián Bichir) background, which adds another demonic element to the story. Speaking of originality, we actually get a few moments of humor for the first time in these films, mostly thanks to Jonas Bloquet's charming French character. Taissa Farmiga does well in the lead role; she has an expressive style that will likely benefit her if she continues working in horror. The cinematography by Maxime Alexandre (lots of dim lighting and fog) is a noticeable step up from "Annabelle: Creation" and fits the overall tone. This kind of movie has been done better before, like Hammer’s version of "The Woman In Black," but even then they were talking about needing to bring something new to the table. It's what it is—a standard haunted house film designed for those who enjoy that type of thing and accept it on its own terms. It isn’t a great movie, but it succeeds in what it sets out to do, and anyone hoping for a groundbreaking horror experience will likely be disappointed. 6/10
