The Nun
The Nun, directed by Corin Hardy, is a new horror movie, released on September sixth, 2018. The premise is about a once holy church in Romania that changes and the vatican sends a few people out there to check things out.
The actors, Demian Bichir had the role of Father Burke, Taissa Farmiga with the role of Sister Irene, and Jonas Bloquet with the role of Frenchie all were tasked with working together to create relationship where they all relied on each other’s actions to benefit their own in the film. By doing this, a larger sense of realism is formed, and it becomes easier for the audience to relate to the movie. I personally thought the acting was great, and I enjoyed how serious and determined were, so when one of them got scared, you began to fear for the characters.
The lightning used in The Nun was always themed to be extremely dark whenever possible. Yes, this added a sense of unknown, but this also made it hard to depict objects in the background, or even some of the character’s emotions. Though, it was smart of the director to use candle and lantern based lighting rather than a lot of lightbulbs and flashlights from phones, which would have ruined the balance and realism that had been created. Overall, the lightning used was phenomenal.
The Nun had many different scares scattered throughout the film from beginning to end, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats, not knowing when the next one would show up. From the director choosing to do this, he made it known that the protagonists were never in control, and essentially were slowly backing themselves into a corner. Also, the movie didn’t heavily rely on jumpscares to do everything for the film. The use of subtle sound effects, smoke, and lighting kept an eerie feeling, and made it so the characters were always having to keep their guard up.
Overall, the film had its many victories, but the movie also had its mistakes throughout the entirety of the film. Most of them would spoil different sections, so that will be up to the rest of the audience to find out. The lighting, the subtlety, the acting, and the directing were especially great, and really kept up a great storyline. The viewer really will feel a sense of dread, worry, and sorrow for the characters within the film. I recommend any horror film fanatics to watch this film and even people who want to start enjoying the genre to watch The Nun. Overall, I give the film a good rating of 7/10.

Movie: COCO
SPOILER ALERT!
Coco, an animated film directed by Adrian Molina and Lee Unkrich. Coco begins with an introduction of our main character, Miguel. Miguel comes from a Spanish family of shoemakers who absolutely despise music. This proves to be difficult for him as he looks up to a famous musician named Ernesto de la Cruz. To make matters worse, Miguel wants to become a musician, so he tries to hide this away from his family as long as possible. The directors did a great job portraying Miguel to be an average teenager, who goes through the struggles of coming to understanding with family.
Throughout the movie, a few set of themes appear, and the movie shows how teenagers and kids alike, tend to try to deal with these issues before coming to solutions with support from their families. A few of these themes tend to be family, friends, pushing through the hard times, and much more. As the movie continues, Miguel is faced with challenges that only using the support of the people around him, can he work to overcome.
Miguel goes on a journey to the land of the dead, and is faced with a challenge of returning before sunrise, otherwise he won’t be able to get back. He meets some of his older family, and some family he had never known. It becomes up to his best judgement to keep himself on track to get back home, while doing whatever he can to help anyone else in need.
I definitely suggest giving this film a chance. The animations are well made with little errors, the voice actors spoke with clear diction, and the singing was incredible. The adventure leaves people waiting to see what will happen to the protagonist, but also yearning to see how the other characters he meets will become. For what starts with an adventure of a little kid, becomes a big mystery until the end.
