Ranking September 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

18. The Nun

The Nun
New Line Cinema

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 27% (4.5/10)

Box Office: Again proving the popularity of the Conjuring brand no matter the reviews, The Nun opened far above most projections and has grossed more than $330 million to date against a mere $22 million budget, making it the most financially successful film in the franchise.

Verdict: Another depressing example of unfulfilled promise, The Nun touts a solid director, talented cast and eerie central location, but strands them in a formulaic, scare-less horror film heavy on exposition and low on actual intrigue.

What's most disappointing is that this isn't even a fun, kitschy haunted house ride of a movie: it's a legitimately boring and surprisingly cynical treatment of a potential-filled premise.
