Sister Death - Official Trailer - Netflix

The name - Paco Plaza - is almost enough guarantee that the horror product will be successful. Here's a much better nun movie than The Nun from The Conjuring universe, coming from half the directors of REC films. This is a prequel to Plaza's 2017 chiller Veronica, focusing on the Sister Death side of things. For a film that only runs 90 minutes, there's a surprising level of depth to the storytelling, and Plaza's use of visual metaphors is on full display here. The 'eclipse' aspect is wonderfully integrated into the story, and although the first two chapters may seem a little less effective from a narrative standpoint, the final chapter where the dots start to connect, is truly amazing. Even in these first two chapters, the atmosphere is noticeably set up.The filmmakers of The Nun could learn a thing or two, though, in terms of how to design aesthetically terrifying frames. The clever use of close-ups, inventive use of gore, and commendable performances from the child actors help Sister Death rise above the supernatural horror film. The only thing that kind of baffles me is the film makers' decision to add musical beats to some of the terrifying scenes, which made me take away from the madness of the film even for a few seconds. I have to say I enjoyed this a little more than Veronica, and that may (or may not) have something to do with how disappointing the recent satanic nun movies have been. This is a solidly wrapped pre-Halloween gift. http://adfoc.us/83634197776446
