The only thing I remember from the first Nun was there was a Nun. Maybe a graveyard or crypt also

Ugh, Saw IV and V were just as bland and half-assed as I remember.

I think a huge factor in 4-6's bleh-dom is Det. Hoffman as the villain. None of it's interesting or compelling, just plodding along and sloppy.

They don’t work very well with Hoffman. That’s for sure.

Anna: Scream Queen Killer was a very strange and creepy one woman horror film. Oddly memorable and has a dysfunctional horror dissection feel to it.

Keeping things familiar, put on Child's Play 2 for the morning. I will be going to Saw X later though.

Martyrs is as brutal as its reputation. Not sure I get the ending or maybe it's one of those "not supposed to get" endings. Need to let this one marinade before I grade it.

Ending is whatever you want. It's all a leap of faith.
