@@monsterzero4326 both James Wan and Jordan peele are one of the best modern day horror movie directors. The only difference with Jordan peele is that his movies have a good blend of comedic moments which is not a bad thing. But if it came down to choose I would say James Wan cause his horror movies are pure horror.
I was really looking forward to this one as well man!!! I really thought that this character was super creepy in her introduction and could of been awesome, now I'm not sure if I even want to see it!! Of course I will have to see it anyway though... Nice review Cody but you break-a my heart man, you break-a my heart! Lol
For me the worst thing is that they changed the way Valak looks in The Nun and it just looks like some monster dressed in a Nun costume instead of looking like an actual demonic nun like it does in the conjuring 2. That one shot in conjuring 2 of Valak just standing at the end of a lit hallway in the house was way scarier looking than any scene involving Valak in its own spin off movie. Let James Wan direct a Nun movie if there must be another one. Otherwise please just let the character go. Lol
These jump scares have been used to the point of desensitising the audience. And with good actors their performance can only carry it so far - if the story or script, pacing, editing or studio interference is thrown into the equation then the final product can end up a steaming pile of shit.
It is an old trick studios have used, even in old classics. Particularly bad movies. The jump scare has been a recently refined technique in films. Unfortunately they have over-used it and it has no effect like it used to have.
Jump scares are amazing. And there was no fucking studio interference with The Nun (2018). It's amazing just like thr other 7 films inside the TCU including The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2020).
I was actually really bored in the theatre. :( I wanted to like this movie so bad! But... I just didn't. :( and no I don't want to see another nun movie
@@123darkpassenger I didnt mind the first Annabelle but I dont remember the second one. I did see it in theatre but I couldnt enjoy the movie there was too big of a distraction going on. But I keep here that people liked the second annabelle better so I'll have to revisit it. Alone with no one distracting me lol 😆
Yeah I definitely recommend giving Annabelle 2 a rewatch :) but hey not everyone enjoys the same things so it's cool if you end up not liking it anyway
Shocker. I love how they used ‘RUclips removed our ad because it was too scary’ to promote their movie. When it was simply because it had a ‘jumpscare’ in it. AKA a startle Not even remotely shocked by any of this. They’re banking solely off of the image and that’s it.
It’s a see it on Netflix, there’s only like 4 characters in the whole movie. Did they actually investigate anything really? Like they never asked any other nun about the suicide nun. Yup like bounce they tried killing you 😆
The general feeling my friends and I had when leaving the theater after seeing The Nun was "... eh... it's fine." I still think Annabelle was slightly worse but not by much.
When I saw this movie I didn't know it was part of the conjuring series because I have never seen the conjuring series. The reason I saw this because I thought it looks like a fun horror movie for me it was. To be honest this movie was alright. I love the jump scares, the costume design and the make-up. Out of 10 I give it a 6. That is a solid C.
Another brilliant review with a hilarious opening, sometimes you can make one spin off too many, this film didn't have a strong enough story to keep me invested & it reliance solely on jump scares lacked any tension or suspense. Loving these videos Cody you just have "IT" Whatever iT is lol I'm currently struggling with family ill health issues that are a huge worry & these videos just make for a relaxing watch & nice distraction from the real world shit.
Two words. JUMP SCARES. Mad, cause trailer was so good, and expected to see a movie that would intrigue me as The Conjuring 1 and 2 did. The movie itself was so predictive, and never had the chance to actually get into the story. It had some comedy, and that would even make me to not take the story seriously. Disappointed.
I actually quite liked this movie, I agree the ending was very clever. One scene I really liked was when the nuns were all praying in the room together and valak rips the shirt off the nun and cuts into her, very out there to show the blatant disrespect and distain to the light so to speak. Yeah a lot of jump scares but I felt it explained the back story well but yes they should not of relied on jump scares. I also liked the scene with the priest ringing the bell and the good nun had to tune into her vision to help him, it was good watching her embracing what she can do
That intro scared me more than most of the scares in The Nun. That said, I didn't mind the movie. When Annabelle: Creation, my second favorite horror movie of last year (after It) was released, my expectations were extremely high. Annabelle: Creation was a HUGE surprise coming after Annabelle. The Nun had an excellent soundtrack, great cinematography, and great acting. Valak itself was creepy every time it was on screen. The way the movie ends was also cool! Everything else is dull. The jump scares (most of them) failed, the logic is out of the window, and the movie being a prequel kind of ruins the ending knowing that Valak returns. The Nun is my 4th favorite movie in The Conjuring universe. Below The Conjuring 1, 2, and Creation, but a good bit above Annabelle. Disappointing but not garbage.
I saw that shit in IMAX and it scared the living shit out of me. Like big ass speakers on the left and right side with a wide ass screen. Overall, I enjoyed it. Love to watch it again.
Hey, I just found your channel, and I have to say that I think you’re one of the best “movie review” channels on RUclips. Between you actually being a horror fanboy and giving the videos more than just two minutes for a shitty review, I really appreciate what you’re doing. On that note, please check out Murder Party. I got it over ten years ago for $4 when Movie Gallery was closing down, and it’s probably my favorite horror movie. Horror/Black Comedy I guess. Anyway, it’s on Netflix and I’m ecstatic that other people can finally watch it. I think it is super underrated and more people need it in their lives. Please review Murder Party!
Loved the look of the castle, the nun demon looked good and the acting was decent but to me the problem was the pacing and the over abundance of jump scares, Good horror movies know when to built tension and then know when to ease off the tension, I felt like there wasn't any decent down time, it was all constant build up to small pay offs, the nun demon kept appearing/disappearing much too often... But I did enjoy how they connected it to the the rest of the series.
This movie pissed me off SO bad. First of all...my little horror loving heart was thrilled to have both this and Halloween coming out within a month of each other. Add Hellfest to it, which felt like it was going to be very Scream-ish and I was so excited. Imagine my surprise when it was Hellfest that left me the least disappointed. The Nun was just bad and Halloween I overhyped myself. Valek scared the hell out of me in Conjuring 2. To know she was getting her own film...YES. Then the scariest part ended up being in the trailer. So pissed off.
I'm glad you recognized that scene in this movie with another horror movie Cody. I said to myself when that scene happen 'Why are ripping off that scene? That's directly from Demon Knight' Maybe they think their target audience was too young or never saw that movie. I won't even talk about those nuns with the bags over their heads, another ripoff. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if they make a sequel since this made most money in The Conjuring series.
I am so happy I was totally drunk watching this at The Alamo. XD I literally laughed half of the movie. Great if you watch it as a campy monster-hunting movie.
Hi cody i took your recommendations and watched spirit of haddonfield and never hike alone and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. I do have question though have you ever ranked the kills in texas chainsaw massacre worst to best .
Ah Man! Your review was spot on, Holy Shit how did you do that do a review that was so one the money? I review movies also on Facebook &I couldn`t have said it better myself.
You’re right about the storyline.After I saw this review about the nun I felt that the story line was non-existent throughout the movie. Begging of movie:storyline middle: continuous jumpscares,end:storyline. They took out the storyline from the movie.The movie was ok it just could be better
I can say that the movie has some strong scenes, a good setup and good scenery and actors. The writing is just really linear, simple and isn't great in general. especially the last half of the movie. The first half is pretty good I think, second half is just jumpscares and ''trippy'' visions.
So, I know this is kinda out of the blue and over where I am there's only like 2 showings of it that I just noticed today and it seems like that could be it, there's this movie that seems like it could be interesting called He's Out There. I've only seen one trailer and I'd like to try to make it to the theater to check it out, but likely will miss it because of work, but it looks like a home invasion movie, possibly a bit on the simpler side, but it honestly looks like it has potential and no one really seems to be covering. Thought I'd at least throw it out your way to let you know about it but with regards to the review I wholly agree with you with a lot of your points. I didn't know what exactly to expect going into it since I didn't see any trailers and all that and I felt like the opening was kinda good, but also opens up some plot holes for later in the movie? Like, if they were the last two nuns why would they go in there and why would the demon kill the one and not try to possess her? After I got out though I didn't know how to feel about it if that makes sense though. It was like, I didn't think it was bad, but I just...didn't really have any opinion of it either? I watched and read some reviews and it's kinda helped me find my feelings on it more but to me, the cinematography and the setting was great, that's something that stood out to me a lot and maybe why I was at first so inclined toward thinking better of it, but everything else is just...predictable, kinda felt like a haunted house more than anything, and honestly the priest doesn't even feel like he even needs to be in this movie. What does he even really do? He's there cause he deals in exorcisms and the like. Narrative reasons are the only ones as to why he's there cause otherwise he's there just to have another person to scare cause he's just a stock priest character who's haunted by his past of a kid dying cause of an exorcism. He doesn't even grow as a character, doesn't contribute to the story any, and the only thing he ever really does is give the nun character her vows and get bit in the eye. OH and she doesn't have her habit at the end either so that first point might even be moot too. I know you said you didn't like Frenchie but honestly to me he was the most believable one even if the tone he brought wasn't always exactly right. Except for chasing the dead nun, I dunno wtf he was doing there but horror movie I guess. I feel like they had a lot of potential with the setting here and I think maybe if they tried a different approach to using everything it would have been better but uninspired would be a good way to describe it, yeah. Alas, wasted potential is always the worst kind of anything. Great review though and honestly I've been binging no a lot of your vids while I'm working and I think you have an awesome channel here man and I feel like I tend to see eye to eye with you on a lot of your reviews and it's always good to find more people covering classic horror movies and the like. Keep up the great content!
Once I saw this movie, I knew that the conjuring series was gunna go downhill from here. Now James Wan isn't directing the 3rd movie and the curse of La lorona and Annabelle 3 were so boring and generic. It's done guys.
This reminded me of an old movie I actually really enjoyed, you should do a video on The Rite with Anthony Hopkins. I don’t share all of your opinions on this one, but this is definitely closer to my style of horror movie and I actually enjoyed it much to my surprise. Wasn’t anything crazy or groundbreaking but I did like it enough on a base level, as much as it lacked plot development and creativity I didn’t hate it.
It had its moments at times but overall it wasn’t that good and Valek i think was scarier in Conjuring 2 because it was in a HOUSE! A FUCKING HOUSE! ALSO did anyone else feel like it was longer than it was... like seriously
i personally think i’ve seen the nun character too much already, between the conjuring 2 and the nun, she’s over played and honestly not as scary as she was in the conjuring 2 alone. horror movies should build tension, and make you scared to see her, but all they did was throw valak in every corner of the screen, and write in a jump scare for every scene. horrible.
I bet it's still better than Bye Bye Man, that movie made me question life and what to do with it, lol. The same with Ouija: Origins, that was done by a horror director so it was 10 times better than the original Ouija. Annabelle: Creations was done by the Lights Out director.
I only saw The Nun 1 time and the jump scares got me. But Cody leach you can blame Corin Hardy the director for how the movie was directed. I do give him credit for trying though. The cinematography was good. But I get what you mean, this is more of a haunted house movie and relies on jump scares. Hopefully with it will be better with The Nun 2
Can you review the movie, what lies beneath (year 2000). I feel it's an extremely underrated and forgotten spooky film. It really feels like a modern day hitchcockian thriller.
The Nun suffers from being pointless and not scary. The performances are fine. But I found the Nuns small appearances in The Conjuring 2 so much better than this entire film dedicated to her.
Your Boy Dev maybe your taste is different and you may like it but for real are you that broke to watch a movie I have already seen it 4 times and still scary,interesting,creepy and the story is nice too there are so many Easter eggs from the other conjuring movies I don’t know what reviews say but the sound and everything was on spot
I agree! I’ve only watched this movie tonight. The character Frenchie wasn’t good. there was a cringe scene where he shot something and it definitely gave out “The Mummy” even “Indiana Jones” vibe 😂 also where he’s walking though the bodies reminded me of Incidious... he was definitely out of place in this movie.
Honestly, this was the most boring movie ever. Why do they have to put jumpscare after jumpscare in it instead of focusing on the story line? They failed miserably with this.
I didn’t love it, but I didn’t feel it was terrible. The soundtrack was outstanding. That was my probably my favorite part of the movie. Frenchie was horrific. He didn’t feel like he was from that time. He really felt like a modern person just randomly placed to relieve tension in what is kind of a period film. Every time that he was speaking I found myself upset and waiting for really anything else. I enjoyed pretty much every moment that the nun was on screen. Everything in the water at the climax was cool for me. She genuinely feels scary at times, but is neutered so much that you kind of forget why she was scary in the first place. It’s not the worst horror movie I’ve ever seen. I enjoyed it better than at least two of the Insidious movies, but this is easily the weakest chapter in The Conjuring universe so far.
I can't believe how they wasted 😭 The Nun 😢 . I am so mad that this character was not utilized to its full potential. It was BORING! As fuck. Crappy dialogue, shitty jump scares, a deflated conclusion that left me dissatisfied. OMG they totally stole from Demon Knight
Sindi this movie was atrocious !! it's Cody's channel he can say what he likes!! And for the record he is correct. Good luck finding anyone on RUclips with good things to say about this movie.
Michael King said by a guy that watches movies like babadook and slender man m8 I think you watched the nun in your phone cause without sound it’s nothing so that’s what you need to count the most
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting but it could have been so much better. It's a pity that most horror movies nowadays rely on CGI, stupid storylines and lame jump scares.
I completely agree with everything you said. I couldn't save anything from this movie storywise, it was just a mess. I walked in thinking it wouldn't be good but hoping to still have a good time, and I didn't. I left the theatre just annoyed, specially by that frenchie dude, he was the worst for me, random jokes in the moddle of serious conversation, his character didn't make any sense, that's all
I think that you didn't like The Nun because you went in with a lot of expectations therefore when you watched it, it let you down. If you would have gone in not expecting too much of the movie, I think that you would have really liked it. Just my opinion.
@@mariolopez3728 I knew that it was going to be bad because everyone was saying that, but I know that there are bad movies that are at least entertaining, and for me this one wasn't even that
The “frenchie dude” played a biiiiig role in the movie because he was in the conjuring film to where it shows a guy getting exorcism and the guy was frenchie pay attention to the movie or at least watch all the movies an then you talk
Not surprised by this review at all. These big budget horror films almost always suck and are loaded with jump scares for casuals and teens lol. I liked the conjuring films because i knew about the Warrens work before the films were made. And BlumHouse is notorious for making these kinds of movies. That worries me because they are involved with Halloween 2018. So is Halloween 2018 going to be another jump scare festival? Or a brutal slasher.
Anyone can enjoy these films. I'm just saying that those are the audience they seem to be directed at. People in their 60s grew up with films like The Exorcist, The Omen, Texas Chainsaw and Halloween etc.
@@sidthesloth107 are you insane? Exorcist 3 is one of the best thrillers of all time. Conjuring movies aren't even fucking scary; they're all commercialized refuse.
The only reason the demon took a form of nun was to torment the character of Vera Farmiga. To ridicule her religious beliefs. So no reason for "origin story". Cash grab, pure and simple.
Making fast money i think was the assignment..rush rush rush. This year and past year were kinda a let down in the horror departement . Jeepers Creepers 3 was...BAD!!! I was looking forward to it..just like The Nun and Halloween. I hope that Halloween won’t be dissapointing . What are you thoughts about that? Love your Chanel and the fact that you speak your mind. Iam a huuuuge horror fanatic just as you are. Keep going and i Will be watching.
Don’t get me wrong the MCU is kicking ass. I used to hate it but I’ve come to appreciate and like the movies. But so many movies are coming out and leave out so much material because they want to make a “shared universe” of movies. I hope this trend starts to die out so we get richer movies.
J-Stilt 9 it was so boring😭 everything that happened after the bible scene could of been avoided if lorane just said his name. when the subplots are better than the actual story of the movie...then something is really wrong
We needed James Wan to Direct this movie and that's a shame he has to be the only man who can make a good horrror movie these days
Candypie 2010 Jordan peele is good too
@@monsterzero4326 both James Wan and Jordan peele are one of the best modern day horror movie directors.

Nice review Cody but you break-a my heart man, you break-a my heart! Lol
The only movies I anticipate this year are Halloween (ofc) and Hell Fest (which looks really good).
M.W_ writer Hell yea Halloween looks like it’ll be amazing can’t wait
The movie Overlord looks pretty good lol
M.W_ writer saw Hellfest: was alright but not spectacular
@Malique what did you think about them if you saw them a year later
The jump scare u made in ur intro was scarier than the actual fucking movie.
For me the worst thing is that they changed the way Valak looks in The Nun and it just looks like some monster dressed in a Nun costume instead of looking like an actual demonic nun like it does in the conjuring 2.
That one shot in conjuring 2 of Valak just standing at the end of a lit hallway in the house was way scarier looking than any scene involving Valak in its own spin off movie.
Let James Wan direct a Nun movie if there must be another one. Otherwise please just let the character go. Lol
These jump scares have been used to the point of desensitising the audience. And with good actors their performance can only carry it so far - if the story or script, pacing, editing or studio interference is thrown into the equation then the final product can end up a steaming pile of shit.
How they have wack ass jump scares when in the preview that jump scare was like the best one out of the whole movie
It is an old trick studios have used, even in old classics. Particularly bad movies. The jump scare has been a recently refined technique in films. Unfortunately they have over-used it and it has no effect like it used to have.
I would say jump scares are so commonly used now a days, that it’s sloppy writing
Jump scares are amazing. And there was no fucking studio interference with The Nun (2018). It's amazing just like thr other 7 films inside the TCU including The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2020).

Giving a bit credit: it takes place in my country, Romania, and i had somekind of class events at that Castle/church!
Shocker.
I love how they used ‘RUclips removed our ad because it was too scary’ to promote their movie.
When it was simply because it had a ‘jumpscare’ in it.
AKA a startle
Not even remotely shocked by any of this. They’re banking solely off of the image and that’s it.
Conjuring 1 and Annabella creation are the best
And conjuring 2
@@Sharkman42 That was a great sequel
I like the atmosphere and the actors. Not enough Nun and we needed James Wan! Great video Mr. Leach!
Movie bored the Hell out of me. Thank God it wasn't 2hrs
The nun got off to a VERY slow start after the opening. But the end almost made up for that.
It’s a see it on Netflix, there’s only like 4 characters in the whole movie. Did they actually investigate anything really? Like they never asked any other nun about the suicide nun. Yup like bounce they tried killing you 😆
The penguin from Blues Brothers what've been far more scarier if she was The Nun
Fuck right? That stairway up to her office always freaked me out as a kid.
Love this channel. Would love to see some old classic horror reviews. Universal monsters to Omen and stuff like that. Thanks for the content.
Thank you. I'll work my way to some older classics before long
Awesome. I figured you would.
Great observation about the characters not building up fear and just re-setting on every scene.
The general feeling my friends and I had when leaving the theater after seeing The Nun was "... eh... it's fine." I still think Annabelle was slightly worse but not by much.
I fell asleep during anabelle but luckily woke up for the best part the elevator scene
That entrance was classic! lol I started bursting up. Nice review.

OH and she doesn't have her habit at the end either so that first point might even be moot too. I know you said you didn't like Frenchie but honestly to me he was the most believable one even if the tone he brought wasn't always exactly right. Except for chasing the dead nun, I dunno wtf he was doing there but horror movie I guess.
I feel like they had a lot of potential with the setting here and I think maybe if they tried a different approach to using everything it would have been better but uninspired would be a good way to describe it, yeah. Alas, wasted potential is always the worst kind of anything. Great review though and honestly I've been binging no a lot of your vids while I'm working and I think you have an awesome channel here man and I feel like I tend to see eye to eye with you on a lot of your reviews and it's always good to find more people covering classic horror movies and the like. Keep up the great content!
I’ll probably still watch this pile eventually. I always unfortunately have to see every movie in a franchise at least once.
I hear ya. Completionist
Once I saw this movie, I knew that the conjuring series was gunna go downhill from here. Now James Wan isn't directing the 3rd movie and the curse of La lorona and Annabelle 3 were so boring and generic. It's done guys.
This reminded me of an old movie I actually really enjoyed, you should do a video on The Rite with Anthony Hopkins. I don’t share all of your opinions on this one, but this is definitely closer to my style of horror movie and I actually enjoyed it much to my surprise. Wasn’t anything crazy or groundbreaking but I did like it enough on a base level, as much as it lacked plot development and creativity I didn’t hate it.
Me and my husband just finished watching this movie and to put it simply, we both couldn't stop yawning but it wasn't the worst I've seen either.
The first five minutes was good ....that’s it
You should review ‘Mandy’ with Nicholas Cage!
It had its moments at times but overall it wasn’t that good and Valek i think was scarier in Conjuring 2 because it was in a HOUSE! A FUCKING HOUSE!
ALSO did anyone else feel like it was longer than it was... like seriously
The Conjuring movies were Great!!
They should just call it "Jump Scare Movies" abd NOT Horror movies. They should be two seperate things.
i personally think i’ve seen the nun character too much already, between the conjuring 2 and the nun, she’s over played and honestly not as scary as she was in the conjuring 2 alone. horror movies should build tension, and make you scared to see her, but all they did was throw valak in every corner of the screen, and write in a jump scare for every scene. horrible.
I bet it's still better than Bye Bye Man, that movie made me question life and what to do with it, lol.
The same with Ouija: Origins, that was done by a horror director so it was 10 times better than the original Ouija. Annabelle: Creations was done by the Lights Out director.
I only saw The Nun 1 time and the jump scares got me. But Cody leach you can blame Corin Hardy the director for how the movie was directed. I do give him credit for trying though. The cinematography was good. But I get what you mean, this is more of a haunted house movie and relies on jump scares. Hopefully with it will be better with The Nun 2
Can you review the movie, what lies beneath (year 2000). I feel it's an extremely underrated and forgotten spooky film. It really feels like a modern day hitchcockian thriller.
Ah man . Where she appears in the bath... seen your comment brought back memories, near shit me pants
@@trixie9227 hahhaaaaa great scene!!
That intro tho lol
I just got back from watching the nun, it was.....decent but that's it
The Nun suffers from being pointless and not scary. The performances are fine. But I found the Nuns small appearances in The Conjuring 2 so much better than this entire film dedicated to her.
Saved me $11 bucks on a movie ticket... thanks bro! I’ll wait for dvd
So he saved you 11 dollars but youll spend 40 dollars on the dvd? Makes sense
Matthew Lugo ^
Lol there was one scare that I thought was descent in the cemetery. But yeah nothing new or scary.
I love all the conjuring franchise
Hopefully halloween will be the best horror movie fingers crossed
I bought it in Bluray. I really liked it.
Love your shirt cody
Knew it would suck. Glad I decided to save my money for the new Halloween movie
Sindi Suci I don’t waste money on movies with negative reviews. Of course I wouldn’t watch this corny ass horror movie
Your Boy Dev maybe your taste is different and you may like it but for real are you that broke to watch a movie I have already seen it 4 times and still scary,interesting,creepy and the story is nice too there are so many Easter eggs from the other conjuring movies I don’t know what reviews say but the sound and everything was on spot
Sindi Suci Nah. This movie sucked, the only good Conjuring movie was the first one. Nothing has been better than The Conjuring in this entire series.
Cody summed up The Nun in seven seconds.
I agree! I’ve only watched this movie tonight. The character Frenchie wasn’t good. there was a cringe scene where he shot something and it definitely gave out “The Mummy” even “Indiana Jones” vibe 😂 also where he’s walking though the bodies reminded me of Incidious... he was definitely out of place in this movie.
Honestly, this was the most boring movie ever. Why do they have to put jumpscare after jumpscare in it instead of focusing on the story line? They failed miserably with this.
I didn’t love it, but I didn’t feel it was terrible. The soundtrack was outstanding. That was my probably my favorite part of the movie.
Frenchie was horrific. He didn’t feel like he was from that time. He really felt like a modern person just randomly placed to relieve tension in what is kind of a period film. Every time that he was speaking I found myself upset and waiting for really anything else.
I enjoyed pretty much every moment that the nun was on screen. Everything in the water at the climax was cool for me. She genuinely feels scary at times, but is neutered so much that you kind of forget why she was scary in the first place.
It’s not the worst horror movie I’ve ever seen. I enjoyed it better than at least two of the Insidious movies, but this is easily the weakest chapter in The Conjuring universe so far.
This movie wasn't scary at all, just cheap jump scares. Hopefully they find something better to do with this franchise.
Can you review the Insidious Movies?
The Nun is by far the best horror movie ever, it's at least 10x better than The Exorcist.
The ending pretty much ripped off "Tales from the Crypt Presents Demon Knight". I'm so ecstatic you saw that, too!
Yep straight ripoff
Couldnt agree with this more. I cant say i was disappointed though, i knew what i was walking into.
Cheap jump scares makes me just give up on a horror movie instantly. Makes a horror movie have zero suspense and is just annoying.
Cody's rating was pretty generous at the end IMO. It really has NOTHING worth watching it for.
I can't believe how they wasted 😭 The Nun 😢 . I am so mad that this character was not utilized to its full potential. It was BORING! As fuck. Crappy dialogue, shitty jump scares, a deflated conclusion that left me dissatisfied. OMG they totally stole from Demon Knight
Well said brother!
Welp they supposed to be making the crooked man movie. Let's hope that's better
I told my cousin this movie would suck and I was right. He left out the theatre after a half hour. 😂😂😂
Tell him the other hour was identical
@@CodyLeachYT I told him to skip truth or dare because it looked like a made for tv movie. He still went to see it. He fell asleep. 😂😂😂
Well he missed the best part and I think you Americans or I don’t know where the fuck you are from don’t know what a real movie is
Sindi this movie was atrocious !! it's Cody's channel he can say what he likes!! And for the record he is correct. Good luck finding anyone on RUclips with good things to say about this movie.
Michael King said by a guy that watches movies like babadook and slender man m8 I think you watched the nun in your phone cause without sound it’s nothing so that’s what you need to count the most
the nun creation lol, it might just be it cuz they did not explain Valak's origin in this movie, maybe another prequel with that exact name
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting but it could have been so much better. It's a pity that most horror movies nowadays rely on CGI, stupid storylines and lame jump scares.
I completely agree with everything you said. I couldn't save anything from this movie storywise, it was just a mess. I walked in thinking it wouldn't be good but hoping to still have a good time, and I didn't. I left the theatre just annoyed, specially by that frenchie dude, he was the worst for me, random jokes in the moddle of serious conversation, his character didn't make any sense, that's all
I think that you didn't like The Nun because you went in with a lot of expectations therefore when you watched it, it let you down. If you would have gone in not expecting too much of the movie, I think that you would have really liked it. Just my opinion.
@@mariolopez3728 I knew that it was going to be bad because everyone was saying that, but I know that there are bad movies that are at least entertaining, and for me this one wasn't even that
The “frenchie dude” played a biiiiig role in the movie because he was in the conjuring film to where it shows a guy getting exorcism and the guy was frenchie pay attention to the movie or at least watch all the movies an then you talk
@@sidthesloth107 If she doesn't like the movie, she just doesn't. If you do that's fine. I think it's a 4/10.
Not surprised by this review at all. These big budget horror films almost always suck and are loaded with jump scares for casuals and teens lol. I liked the conjuring films because i knew about the Warrens work before the films were made. And BlumHouse is notorious for making these kinds of movies. That worries me because they are involved with Halloween 2018. So is Halloween 2018 going to be another jump scare festival? Or a brutal slasher.
matt corbett well they don’t expect some 60 year old guy go and watch a horror movie lol
Anyone can enjoy these films. I'm just saying that those are the audience they seem to be directed at. People in their 60s grew up with films like The Exorcist, The Omen, Texas Chainsaw and Halloween etc.
matt corbett the exorcist is a great movie but the conjuring series are the best no matter what
@@sidthesloth107 are you insane? Exorcist 3 is one of the best thrillers of all time. Conjuring movies aren't even fucking scary; they're all commercialized refuse.
The only reason the demon took a form of nun was to torment the character of Vera Farmiga. To ridicule her religious beliefs. So no reason for "origin story". Cash grab, pure and simple.
I like your intro
Great Shirt!
Making fast money i think was the assignment..rush rush rush. This year and past year were kinda a let down in the horror departement . Jeepers Creepers 3 was...BAD!!! I was looking forward to it..just like The Nun and Halloween. I hope that Halloween won’t be dissapointing . What are you thoughts about that? Love your Chanel and the fact that you speak your mind. Iam a huuuuge horror fanatic just as you are. Keep going and i Will be watching.
Halloween will be SJW trash. It's an elderly woman taking down MM, for christ sake.
Awsome review cody
The jump scares were not as many/ aggressive as annabelle1 or those Michael bay remakes!
lol. I know I'm late, but I remember watching this in the theater and I was sad!
Amazing review!
Don’t get me wrong the MCU is kicking ass. I used to hate it but I’ve come to appreciate and like the movies. But so many movies are coming out and leave out so much material because they want to make a “shared universe” of movies. I hope this trend starts to die out so we get richer movies.
I didn't like anabelle at all I would put it next to an off brand chucky movie
I waz so bored i almost fell asleep during the movie
Can you do a " night of the demons ( 1988) " review??
Could you please do a review on Candyman and the two sequels?
i genuinely thought the conjuring 2 was boring and the only thing i liked were the nun and crooked man subplot.
welp.
😐
I agree. I didn't even finish it and I love horror.
J-Stilt 9 it was so boring😭 everything that happened after the bible scene could of been avoided if lorane just said his name. when the subplots are better than the actual story of the movie...then something is really wrong
@@majinally3527 Exactly. There were def parts I liked, but drags on a tad much for me. Ya know, I still haven't seen Annabelle: Creation
Compare to the new predator LOL The Nun is way better.
Lol he said the Nun Creation😂😂
Tell What movies he used
I think that the two leads did a good job tho 👍
