Finally a good horror movie with literally NO JUMPSCARES

Without spoiler: The movie Starts slow but it picks up the pace and it gets more disturbing with each passing second. For the last 30 minutes I was so tensed by this movie that I couldn't even look away for a fraction of a second, overall the movie is what horror movies should be. Acting is on point and the plot is just outstanding. The only negative point about the movie is that some scenes are unnecessary according to me. Hope we see more movies like this in the future and get part 2 of Veronica. Director should be praised and I think this movie should have been released in theatres rather than Netflix.

Great until..

I really loved the premise of this film until the very bad morals let it down. Was it lazy writing? It was very unsatisfying to see the conclusion.Why on earth was such a cruel fate meted out to a little girl (Rosa) who had nothing at all to do with ANY of the nonsense? Why were the two older nuns punished so harshly when the rapists were seen as a force of nature?By the standards of the day, keeping the act quiet so mother and child could remain together would have been very brave and kind. The death was accidental. Why would the dead mother of the dead child be so full of revenge?I tried to view the film from the position of 'women who do not stick together deserve punishment' but this does not excuse the death of the little girl by hanging.The horror was good. The cinematography was excellent. Everything - the mood - the lighting - the soft focus. The image of the confessional lattice filled with eyes was very striking. I was completely absorbed by this film until the revelation at the end.Weff.What a shame.

Stunning cinematography but average plot

"Sister Death" is a remarkable horror film for its stunning cinematography, with a palette of vibrant colors and dazzling lights that, if there were a category for Best Cinematography in Horror at the Oscars, would certainly deserve a nomination. Despite a plot that didn't fully engage me, the evocative atmosphere harks back to independent religious horror productions from the 60s and 70s.Despite its imperfections, it outperforms previous films with a "nun" theme in the horror genre, such as "The Nun." However, some unresolved issues in the third act leave something to be desired, and there were certain points I didn't quite grasp, which might be due to my lack of recollection about "Veronica," the film to which this serves as a prequel. In summary, "Sister Death" is a visually stunning experience, though a more engaging narrative could have made it truly memorable.
