"The Bad Nun" aka "The Watcher"

With the great anticipation of the next chapter in The Conjuring universe set to darken theaters today, many filmmakers are jumping on the bandwagon with their own versions of murderous and terrifying nuns. This film while done with simple filming of a few sets is said to deliver some frights that will make those Catholic school students running for the door when they see a sister with a ruler.

Aesha Wadia (Becca Hirani) is your young twenty-something student who goes to school and likes to party with her friends like Lea (Lucy Chappell). At her mother's insistence to get away from it all and get her head on straight, Aesha travels to a remote bed and breakfast out in the country with only a local church being the closest place for miles. As nighttime comes, Aesha is visited by a nun that keeps insisting that Aesha let her inside. Uncomfortable with the idea since the place belongs to local Dan (Thomas Mailand), she keeps the door locked hoping to get her to leave. Yet this nun doesn't like getting no for an answer and Aesha will soon start to see this nun's intentions are not so innocent, in fact, they're down right deadly.

Disturbing and suspenseful, but otherwise fairly predictable. While this movie will hardly get a rise out of the loyal horror fan, the character of the nun delivers a creepy aspect that will make you want to avoid the convent for awhile. The horror isn't rushed and drawn out to give a sense of mystery as to when the killer might strike along with a disturbing origin. A small-time production making a film with what they had and delivering a somewhat satisfying result earning it three and a half G.M.Stars.
