Granted, I haven't seen the 2018 movie "The Bad Nun", so how much this 2019 movie "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows" (aka "The Bad Nun II" or "The Watcher 2") is a continuation of the events in the first movie or how closely tied the movies are, I have literally no idea.
Nor can I really say that having seen "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows" have spurred an interest in backtracking and watching the 2018 movie. Yeah, this 2019 movie just wasn't all that and a bag of potato chips.
The storyline told in "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows", as written by Scott Jeffrey was just so very, very bland and mundane. If you have seen any single slasher movie since the 1980s, then you have essentially seen "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows", as it followed the very same formula. And you might think that is a good thing, as there are lots of good slasher movies out there, but no. That is not the case with "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows". Everything that transpired throughout the course of this movie was something that has been seen and done in other movies before this, and often done with more success as well. Actually the storyline told here was rather unappealing and uneventful, so it made for what felt like a rather prolonged suffering sitting through an hour and a half of this movie.
In fact, the movie's cover is actually the best thing about the movie. And truth be told, the movie's cover is over-selling the movie by several miles, as the nun on the movie's cover looks sort of decayed and have yellow eyes, and generally just has an aura of evil to her. Yeah, that was not at all how the nun was portrayed in the movie. So don't get your hopes up for anything grand.
The acting in "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows" was pretty what you would expect for a movie of this caliber. I am sure that the actresses and actors in the movie were doing the best with what they had in terms of a very limiting script and character gallery, but there just weren't any particular outstanding or memorable acting performances to witness here.
While I managed to endure throughout the entire movie, I can't claim that I was entertained, nor particularly enjoying much of anything that directors
Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews threw at me.
So if you enjoy a proper horror movie with a compelling and interesting storyline, well-detailed characters, good dialogue, and believable special effects, then "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows" is not the best of choices.
My rating of "Bad Nun: Deadly Vows" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
