I was honestly surprised. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVED Taissa Farmiga in American Horror Story (murder house.) Not only was she a great actress, but she did very well in a horror genre. Not every great actor can pull off a role in a horror film or series, but she can portray sadness and anger and fear in a a way that seems so natural in a horror setting. That being said, I still didn't have too high of hopes for the Nun. While I love the Conjuring 1 and especially 2, I felt that they were really reaching here trying to pump out another film as a part of a popular franchise. Now the beginning was slow for me and the story a bit off. It was a creepy castle. A demon. The usual for these types of films. They really didn't give you much backstory which is something I LOVED in the conjuring films. I really connected with the Warrens and was rooting for them. Bus of course, just like all of these films, it definitely had atmosphere! But what I really liked was the ending. Right after I got home from the movies, I looked up the scene where they discussed Maurice in the first conjuring movie and I can't believe I missed it! I really enjoyed how they wrapped it all in together! It made it worth the watch.
