Black Nuns release date, honest review, ending spoiler, all in one place! Check out everything from Kang Dong-won's special appearance to the hidden story. If you like the occult genre, this is a must-read review!

 

When will Black Nuns be released? When can I see it?
The film Black Nuns will be released on January 24, 2025.
A spin-off of The Priests (2015), this is the first Korean occult film to return after a long hiatus.

It is a fresh story centered around an exorcism and the forbidden rituals of nuns, and features unique characters.

Honest Review: Interesting and Disappointing Points

 

Interesting point
1. The sound and music are excellent.
If you watch it in Dolby Atmos, you can feel the occult's unique sense of unease and immersion even more. The scenes of reciting scriptures and the tense music really bring the movie's atmosphere to life.

2. Unique materials and fresh production
The setting, which combines Korean shamanism and tarot with the Catholic Church's exorcism ritual, is a unique charm of this film. The scene where a cross and a drum appear together is truly fresh and gives a different kind of shock.

3. The actors' passionate performances
- Song Hye-kyo: She transformed into a chain-smoking 'Sister Yunia', breaking away from her previous image.
- Moon Woo-jin: He plays the role of 'Hee-jun', a boy possessed by an evil spirit, and leaves a strong impression with his acting that is almost like playing two roles.
- Special appearance by Kang Dong-won: He makes a surprise appearance as 'Father Choi Jun-ho' from 'The Priests', delighting fans.

Regrettable Points

1. Development with insufficient explanation
The film doesn't provide enough background information on the characters or props, so it may be a bit unfriendly, especially for audiences unfamiliar with the occult genre.

2. Monotonous early development
The first scene is intense, but the early development may feel a bit loose. The development that becomes more intense as it progresses in the second half somewhat relieves the disappointment.

3. Ambassador delivery problem
As great as the music and sound were, there were scenes where some of the dialogue was difficult to hear.

Ending spoiler: A story you'll regret missing
The ending of The Black Nuns delves deeply into the meaning of human solidarity and salvation, along with an intense exorcism ritual.


- Sister Yunia (Song Hye-kyo) confronts her past and makes a final choice to save the boy.


- Hee-jun's (Moon Woo-jin) fight with the evil spirit inside him decorates the climax of the movie, and there are many moments that make you emotionally immersed.

The film isn't just about defeating evil spirits, it also shows the characters growing as they overcome their own beliefs and pasts.

Special appearance by Kang Dong-won: A point fans cannot miss!
If you're a fan of The Priests, you'll be thrilled to see Kang Dong-won make a special appearance.

Director Kwon Hyuk-jae also said that he was touched that Kang Dong-won came back 'just as he was back then.'

 

Kang Dong-won's scene-stealing performance, which increases the immersion of the film just by appearing, continues in this work.

Overall: Recommended for occult fans!
The Black Nuns is a calm occult film that stays true to its essence, and stands out for its unique setting and passionate performances.

However, it may be a bit difficult for those who are not familiar with the occult genre, so I recommend that those who watch it without prior knowledge do some additional research after watching it.

PS There is no cookie video, but there is one cookie voice, so stay seated until the end!

    오컬트 장르 특유의 으스스한 분위기에 무속 신앙까지 더해졌다고 하니 한국형 엑소시즘의 정수를 보여줄 것 같아 기대됩니다. 결말에 대해서는 호불호가 갈리는 모양이지만, 배우들의 열연과 압도적인 사운드를 직접 체감해 보는 것만으로도 충분히 가치 있는 관람이 될 것 같아요.
