The movie is based on the story line of a nun being demonised by a dark spirited ghost. This nun made her appearance first in Conjuring 2 and also a scene from ‘Annabelle: Creation’

Reviews has been pouring in from different critics and the verdict from what we can assume is that it has mixed opinions.

Why can’t it be great?

1. Story line
2. ‘IT’ was a major success because it stepped out of the comfort zone of horror filmmakers. For obviousness, yes darkness does gives the jitters. But filming under shadows makes everything more expectable. IT dealt with horrors and scares in broad daylight.

Why is it great?

1. The camerawork. Dynamic, smart and exceptional.
2. Just like any other horror film, the background score.
