I like this film because it is fully engaged with the conceits of the movie without a wink or a nod. Go to Full Review
William Schwartz HanCinema Aug 6
A very apt example of smothering its interesting ideas in the service of overly complicated worldbuilding. Go to Full Review
Joshua Polanski In Review Online Aug 3
Kwon also sets up fantastic opportunities that he fails to take advantage of throughout. One huge shame is that the film washes away the gains it makes with the new gendered angle by making the two nuns ideologically void. Go to Full Review

7/10
While not a perfect successor, Dark Nuns proves this universe has more compelling stories to tell, leaving the door open for a third installment that could, hopefully, find the perfect balance between old faith and new. Go to Full Review

3/4
Hyeok-jae ultimately succeeds in making us invested in Dark Nuns’ denouement, even if he rehashes every single beat from The Priests. The reason why we’re compelled has to do with the rock-solid chemistry between Hye-kyo and Yeo-been. Go to Full Review
David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Jun 21
3.5/5
If you are expecting a film that fills the Hollywood exorcism cliches than this isn’t the film for you. If you are looking for a well-written supernatural thriller that throws in some deep thought-provoking questions then you have come to the right place. Go to Full Review

cindy Feb 16 Absolutely amazing, great movie. See more Howard S Feb 13 I found it smart, thrilling, and thematically consistent. A simple story told well with great cinematography and camera angles. Well acted. A lot of care and compassion in the acting.

Its the same old story, and the men can't see a woman's true worth simply because of her gender and at the folly of their ignorance. There is something to be said of the way in which the storytelling is done in Korean films, and especially when battling the forces of evil, their faith feels so powerful and absolute that it's palpable. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug Sep 18 Weak story that tries to redeem itself by having the characters spout a lot of Christian and shamanic mumbo jumbo. See more Howie P Mar 19 Blending Western exorcism with Eastern shamanic elements, Dark Nuns offers a refreshing take on the subgenre. More than just a horror film, it explores deeper themes of gender, social and religious prejudices, and female solidarity. The performances are exceptional, with Song Hye Kyo standing out—her powerful and commanding yet nuanced portrayal adds emotional depth, making her character truly unforgettable.
