Before her disappearance, Sister Úrsula was highly feared in her boarding school. Often tormenting her students with her own brand of extreme religious zealotry, this nightmarish nun was deathly strict with her code of ethics. When one of her 15-year-old pupils is found to be pregnant, the nun forces her into a dangerous spiritual cleansing that ends in tragedy when the girl's five classmates break up the torture session and inadvertently kill Úrsula in the process. Upon the reopening of the school almost 20 years later, two of the group's survivors end up dead, which forces the rest of the old friends to face their own demons over what happened that fateful night. With the help of the now-teenaged daughter of the original student, the group confronts the very thing that haunts their dreams and forever links them together in hushed silence. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Yeah have to agree with a friend. It was like I know what you did 18 Summer ago. lol. But I must say it has a surprising end. Dont regret to have seen it once, but easily forgetable.

The aquatic (!) spirit of a dead nun returns to haunt and kill her now middle aged former students and the photogenic teens investigating the slayings. Well made and plotted, but unfortunately it's none too scary rather than nun-too-scary.

You know, when you hear about a movie called "The Nun" about a killer nun's spirit that can only be summoned by water with a tagline saying "Not all water is holy" and crawls out of the toilets to kill you and copies a scene from The Twilight Zone's "Nightmare at 20,000 feet," you'd think it would be a pretty horrible movie. But it was suprisingly descent for it's genre, an I had a good time watching the film.

A movie that has some slick visuals, nice sound effect but a terrible script as well as the characters and situations that your audience can't connect with, then you've still got a bad movie.
