Six girls at a Catholic school in Spain accidentally kill Sister Ursula and put her corpse in the lake. Eighteen years later, Eve (Anita Briem) is drawn to Spain after her mother is mysteriously killed. Doing research, she uncovers the past mystery and encounters her mother's old school friends, who are also being picked off one by one.
Forget The Nun (2018), I'm all about The Nun (2005)! The penultimate release by producer Brian Yuzna and the Spanish Fantastic Factory label, The Nun is a mixed bag. The script by Manu Díez and Jaume Balagueró has the interesting story about the nun seeking revenge from beyond her watery grave and it touches on some taboo subjects. But it also seems like it was churned via committee to include stuff the producers believed they needed for a successful horror film; those things including a Scream-esque cast, scenes at dance clubs, and tiny doses of Blair Witch-style video camera footage, which is oddly never used for a scare scene. Sister Ursula's attack sequences involve her coming via water and, unfortunately, it results in a lot of really bad computer effects bits. Director Luis de la Madrid is making his feature debut and handles the dark-n-spooky night stuff well. This would be his only film so far as he returned to being an editor. There is a nice downbeat twist at the end, but the film is too scattered for it to be truly effective.
