MY FAVOURITE HORROR MOVIE My favourite horror movie is “The Nun” The director´s name is Corin Hardy This film begins by telling the life of some nuns in a castle located in Romania, the plot is about this film is about how is the life of these nuns there and how later a priest will go to that convent to try to solve the murder that took place in the year 1950. Throughout this film, very interesting events are happening that reflect real-life situations. Among all these nuns we can differentiate one which is the evil spirit. ACTORS - Jonas Bloquet acts as Frenchie, who is becoming a priest and finds the body of the nun previously murdered in the monastery. This character is fundamental in the film since he stars in scenes such as the placement of the nun's corpse, which Frenchie had placed in a specific way and later she would not be found like this. - Demian Bechir acts as Father Burke, who is not one of my favorites since during the plot he always tries to anticipate events and look for solutions that will only end up favoring him. Although I have to admit that he plays an important role in some scenes, such as in the finale of the film, he is the one who helps to save most of them. 3.1 PERSONAL OPINION - I really like this movie and it is my favorite since I have always been a big fan of Expediente Warren and this character of the nun had already appeared previously in other films of this saga and that is why I was especially excited that this saga decided to make a film completely specific to this character. It keeps you in tension throughout the movie and insperated things happen. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Índice de comentarios Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) 2.1 the Irish 3.1 the Warren Files
