So I went to see new movie the NUN cos I love my horror movies. But you can tell they didn’t really consult a catholic because the good nun who was the lead didn’t genuflect when she went in. And huge plot hole - there was a relic they found containing the blood of Jesus that they used to fight the demon. I was all like ‘why didn’t they just celebrate mass and use the consecrated wine ?’ Well it amused me anyway 🙂 it’s a very silly movie but good fun
 
It’s never gonna be a classic but if you enjoyed the conjuring /Annabelle films it’s worth going to see as it explains where the demon in the conjuring 2 comes from
 
Drag me to hell was so scary for me apart the bit with the possessed goat which was ridiculous 😂
 
I shouldn’t but can’t resist them. After seeing George C Scott’s The Changeling in 1979 I slept with the light on for three nights.
 
That’s part of the fun!!! Haha aw bless u they aren’t for everyone I love a good scare
 
I am one of those who does roller coasters too it’s weird isn’t it how we are all wired differently
 
I liked this series in that some things were slightly believable with classic demonology or occult significance also the inclusion of the rosary was nice but they still got a lot of things wrong in the other movies too… they weren’t that scary or impressive. Movie I liked along these lines was The Rite w Anthony Hopkins but even that was a little sleepy. Give me something as Gothic as Bram Stokers Dracula or Interview with the Vampire. Beetlejuice Edward Scissor Hands and we’re talking. I wish they had catholic gothic horror movies that were deeper or more romantic like these. Over the years I really wasn’t that impressed by even the Exorcist or Hellraiser. Best older one was probably The Omen.

I will wait for the video…

I didn’t see a tabernacle or monstrance for the “perpetual adoration” either. Did you? There was several ommisions and errors absolutely.
 
Yeah just a cross!! And the priest didn’t question that either and didn’t attempt mass. Tut tut!!
 
Oh definitely the rite was awesome based on a book . And I also love interview with vampire and Dracula I’m also a bit of a goth. I will always remember watching the Ricky lake show and there was this goth kid who said all Catholics are technically vampires as they drink the blood of Christ and I was like …
 
I only go on roller coasters that you sit in and the track is over your head.

I don’t like the type that jiggle you all around.
 
I didn’t watch the nun, but I’ve watched the Annabelle Creation movie (can’t remember the name, but it was the one where a bunch of girls lived in an orphanage with a nun), and the Conjuring movies. They’re not terrible, although they do get some stuff wrong. They had a nun carry out confession! That was really weird.

But overall, I’m pleasantly surprised that Catholicism wasn’t portrayed negatively. The couple that carries out the exorcism is really sweet too.
