<검은 수녀들> 'Dark Nuns' Movie Review
A prequel to the famed movie The Priests(2015) . Despite its fame, I honestly didn't enjoy The Priests much. Due to this, I had doubts for its prequel, along with negative reviews from the audience. But the movie turned out to be surprisingly better than what I had imagined. The plot is simple; to save a boy possessed by an evil spirit, a particular exorcism is needed desperately. However, the priests who have performed the exorcism before are absent. Nun Yunia decides to perform the exorcism herself although she isn't allowed, since exorcisms should be done by priests. For this movie, you should see the forest for the trees. Seeing the trees, the details are lacking. Actress Song Hye-Kyo's style of acting doesn't go well with the occult genre; her emotions are too suppressed. However from the forest pov, every scene was the best option possible, with no better alternative. And Song Hye-Kyo's suppressed acting turned out to be rather perfect for her character...
