Right, 'a new chapter in terror'... Yeah, I beg to differ.
I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Conjuring the Devil" (aka "Demon Nun") given its cover/poster, which looked rather interesting. And being a big fan of the horror genre and this being a movie I hadn't already seen, of course I found myself sitting down to watch it. Well, at least I made it 30 minutes into it, and then I just gave up. Make no mistake, this movie is bad, and not in a good-way-kind of bad. It was just downright and plainly b-a-d.
The storyline was just as unappealing as it was boring and pointless. And I literally found nothing of any interest in the storyline in the 30 minutes that I suffered through. And if virtually didn't help one bit that the characters were equally pointless and mundane.
Now, I am sure that the actors and actresses in the movie were adequate enough for a movie of this caliber, but they virtually had nothing to work with in terms of a proper script, plot and characters.
As for the special effects and make-up, well... The special effects were adequate enough for a movie such as this, I suppose. At least I have seen worse effects in movies. But the make-up effects was actually good enough.
I am not going to bother with returning to this movie to watch it a second time, because "Conjuring the Devil" did absolutely nothing for me. While it is not among the top 10 of bad movies I have seen, "Conjuring the Devil" ranks up high on the list of boring movies, though. My rating of this movie lands on a more than generous two out of ten stars.
