Despite being sisters, Gabby (Kristi Ray) and Ashley (Erika Edwards)
couldn't be less alike - while Gabby is the private school-educated,
privileged and pretty party girl, Ashley is more of a homebody from public
school, obsessed with books and local history, with special focus on nuns
and the macabre. So when the two girls go on a road trip together with
Gabby's boyfriend Anthony (Damian Maffei) and their mutual friend Michael
(Gunner Willis), there's sure to be conflict, especially when Ashley
insists on stopping in the middle of nowhere to take pictures of a burnt
out church, something that especially Gabby has little patience for. But
them Anthony loses their car keys, which forces them to seek abode in a
nearby long abandoned prison - which according to Ashley's favourite
legend has once been the roaming grounds of one Sister Monday (Felissa
Rose), who has in her day been the resident nun, who just handed out
punishment her own way, brutally murdering the inmates she found too
guilty to go on living. Now of course, once in the building, Ashley
insists to go on exploring, while Gabby would rather have some alone time
with Anthony ... and thus Ashley and Michael head off on their own, and
soon have to find out the place might be haunted. And eventually, someone
in a nun's habit starts killing our heroes one by one ... Now
true, other than a clever twist in the finale (that's actually given away
beforehands in a rather ingenious way so you don't notice), A Nun's
Curse doesn't exactly tread new ground - but it does what it does very
well, as the film manages to create believable and relatable characters
and throw them into a situation filled with dread that's beautifully built
up and has tension and suspense running through throughout. And of course,
an atmosphere-heavy directorial effort making the most of its moody
locations doesn't hurt one bit, nor does a strong ensemble cast, with
Erika Edwards deserving a special mention for giving her character that
much depth. In all, a fun genre ride for sure!
