Years ago, a cruel and merciless nun turned a boarding school into a living hell for her students until they could no longer bear the abuse, and she mysteriously disappeared. Now the alumnae are being brutally murdered one by one.

Personally, I think too many people are critical of the Movie, it was actually done pretty well.I was surprised that a Spanish Movie was done entirely in English though.Not that it bothers me because I was born in America.The Movie was about how the Evil Spirit of a Nun had risen from her watery grave after the Spanish Government had drained a pond filled with Holy Water near a closed down Convent.The Nun, Sister Ursula had been killed 18 Years before by her Students after she was caught torturing one of them in the Bathroom after discovering that she was pregnant (And by a Priest no doubt).They ended up killing her because they knew she was too violent to let them all go after they first attacked her.They then through Ursula's corpse into the Pond.Because the Pond had been made up of Holy Water the Vengeful Nun's Spirit was trapped inside the Pond and was rendered immobile for years until it was drained.She then began rising from Water in the Homes of all her Victims and killing them in the same way that the Saints they were named after were killed.The Daughter of the Pregnant girl who is now named Eve, ended up walking in on the Murder of her Mother when she saw the Nun slit her Throat with the knife she had picked up to defend herself originally.She ends up meeting the Woman Christy who was then killed that same Night by the Nun and Christy walked in the Bulding to find Christie dead and had seen the Nun's Spirit float out of the Building.The woman told her she was going to meet with her Mother the next day and all of the other Classmates in Barcelona,Spain.So she then decides to go to Barcelona and warn them and try and find out what had actually happened.Later on she meets and falls in love with a young Spanish man whom is studying to be a Priest and then he gets killed along with the only 2 Survivors of all the Boarding school girls, leaving only her with her 2 friends alive.She ends up killing the Nun, because the Young Priest figured that because the Nun uses Water to cause all of the Murders the only way she can be killed is in Water.And because the Nun was named after Saint Ursula who died by an arrow through the heart,she had to be killed in a similar fashion.But the Movie ends pretty badly because while the girl does kill the Nun, she has died also, but with the same arrow through her own heart.The Character Joel, figures that Eva must have been mentally deranged and knew all along that she had been fathered by a Priest and that her Mother and friends had Murdered the Nun.So she somehow developed a Split personality taking on the Role of the Nun and thus carried out these Murders in her name.But the Movie never at any point or even at the very end showed anything that suggests that the girl was deranged at any point.Also, she demonstrated no knowledge of the events that took place years ago and had now come to pass.And what motive could she have possibly had for killing her Mother and her Mother's friends when they had only killed a Vicious Nun in self-defense? Eve had never even met the Nun or much less cared for her.So she had no reason to exact revenge on any of them for anything.After all, they had saved her life in the act of killing the Nun because Sister Ursula was trying to kill her before she could even be born.So if anything she had more reason to praise them for doing it.

Six students at a convent do the unthinkable - kill a nun who was overbearing. Now, eighteen years later, the nun's spirit is back and getting revenge for her murder.Yea, basically that's the short of it. There's more to it than that, but I still have no clue what it is. The only really cool thing is the effects on the spiritual nun, as I was pretty impressed for being a more low-budget flick. I'm also confused as to whether or not it's in English. Most of the actors are Italian, and even the title here is in Italian, yet they spoke English in the film (I think, or it might've been dubbed, I still can't tell).Anyway, the real premise of the film is pretty idiotic, and the ending not only doesn't make sense, it...well...doesn't make sense.

Well, first of all, excuse me for the lame pun in the title. I was browsing for movies to rent the other day and saw this. I heard something about this so I picked it up and looked on the back and there was a short little review blurb on it from John Fallon AKA Arrow in the Head! At that moment I thought "Well if he likes it then I gotta like it!" So I rented it and just finally got around to watching it last night (college keeps me so busy). Oh and I might wanna add that I read a little of Arrow's review and it turns out that out of 4 stars he gave it 1 and a half. So my expectations from this movie went from very high to iffy. Well after watching this, I once again agree with Arrow (and turns out that quote from the review was the only positive thing he said about that!) Wow, did this film stink or what? Where do I begin with why it did so? Well, the film was so dull in my opinion. Not even the cool gore bits excited me and when a decapitation doesn't excite you in a movie, that's bad! The characters I hated a lot and from the beginning I could tell who would die and who wouldn't. Actually the film proved me wrong at some points, but the worst thing is that one particular character I wanted to die didn't! What the heck? And the chemistry between the main girl and the guy she met? Didn't feel it. He obviously was just there to be eye candy and give her a love interest, otherwise I thought he was a waste! And as a horror fan I should know that doing the "dumb horror movie" sometimes gotta happen or else there wouldn't be much of a movie, but the ones in here ticked me off! Hello? Why are you making out in the room of the killer nun when you should be on the lookout from her? And it was done by the supposedly smarter characters no less. The twist....ah, it would have been alright, if it hadn't been done a billion times and I didn't have to sit through this wast of film to reach that point! My main point: Stupid movie that sucked me in with some words of my favorite (actually my only favorite) movie critic. Jerks!

The Nun is a revenge picture whereby a very strict nun is killed by her rebellious trailer trash charges and comes back years later to get even when the now adults visit their old school. Story line is predictable in spades and will hold no surprises as it slowly winds its way to the end. It is a screamer of a movie with passable acting and a below average script and screenplay. Much of the special effects are low grade and there is almost zero believability in the final battle. Still, if you look past these there is some suspense and acting jewels. If you like senseless cookie cutter screamers, you'll like this, otherwise you should pass.
