This second Conjuring spin-off failed to impress me yet again. Although "The Nun" has an interesting setting and an appealing mystery as the catalyst of the plot, the fifth part of the franchise degenerates far too often into a movie-like haunted train ride. The titular nun jumps into the picture for one jump scare after another. Any subtlety is, of course, lost as a result, and boredom sets in. Like the doll in "Annabelle", the demon nun doesn't have much to offer besides her creepy look. She is also demystified very quickly by her omnipresence. However, Demián Bichir and Taissa Farmiga get plus points from me, as they deliver solid performances in the leading roles. But it's definitely not enough for a recommendation from me.
