Bishop The 2025 Korean supernatural film, «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns»), is the sequel to the 2015 Korean supernatural movie, «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). However, anyone who wants to start with the sequel has no need to watch the first as «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns») is a standalone movie, and the two are almost identical in plots, twists, and execution. NOTE: The things written below were made in comparison with the prequel «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). **¡SPOILER ALERT!** ## The Good 1. They gave the demon more dialogue. 2.

The concept of two nuns exorcising the heavy duty supernatural baddie as opposed to a priest, is novel too. Its cleverly handled, turning it into a macabre, almost maternal, drama. What does not work so well the over long length, populated with drawn out asides and sub plots.These unnecessary distractions, water down the films key focus. In summary, "Dark Nuns" would have worked considerably better if it had adhered more closely to i…
We jumped right into a possession case, and it looked like the first team was in trouble and needed some serious help. 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.
