And they did the same formulaic scare approach too

Protagonist slowly reaches towards dead body
Jump scare

Pretty sure they did this like 5 times throughout the movie

Check out hereditary

Its weird and slow at first but theres like minimal jump scares. It really plays off the creepy atmosphere factor

I liked The Conjuring, which is what The nun spin offd of. I felt genuine tension mixed with the jump scares. Haven't seen the nun.

no but I've seen plenty of religious themed horror movies that I have found terrifying so I don't think that's it...

could be though. But I thought it seemed...just so lacking compared to the rest of the series which is so great

If you need to be raised a certain way for the movie to have any kind of effect, it sucks even more.

Some of the creepiness comes from seeing a dark shroud over familiar imagry

I don't know why movies even have jump scares any more after this. It's easily the best one ever filmed. I am spooked every time I watch that scene.
