Sister Death (2023)
6/10
Stunning cinematography but average plot
1 November 2023
"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.
