Anna (Lacy Hartselle ) finds herself stuck in a rental with the murdering ghost of Sister Catherine (Rae Hunt). She is aided by maintenance man and ghost hunter KK (Brad Belemjian).
The ghost wears a rubber mask. In the doorway scene with KK, the bottom gap of the maks is clearly visible for quite a few seconds. Also uses a voice distorter.
The film had some elements of "1408" but the antics were inconsistent. I am not sure how one can kill a ghost with a sledgehammer when bullets go through them. Anna had a number of illusions, I guess to trick her, but to do what exactly?
Guide: No sex or nudity. I thought I heard the F-word from the maintenance man.

Get a grip, girl
Thanks to a new husband, Anna (Lacy Hartselle),is ready to move to a beautiful new home. As she gathers the last of things from her rental house, she can't help but think of her troubled past and her long goth experience. Anna can't stop feeling unworthy of the new life ahead or her. As she tries to finish up and leave, a strange spirit overcomes her and tries to keep her in the house. That spirit seems to be of a deranged Nun somehow stuck in purgatory demanding that young Anna keep her company. The story is tedious making the movie a bit jerky and not scary at all. Rounding out the cast: Brad Belemjian, Alice Raver, Jonathan Everett and Rae Hunt as Sister Catherine.
Clearly a 'Nun' knock-off, but does that make it bad?
Well, yes - this is a knock-off of 2018's 'The Nun'; but then, everything is a knock-off of something, just with varying degrees of blatancy. Surely if 'Curse of the Nun' is entertaining in its own right, there's no problem, is there?
A low budget venture, director/writer Aaron Mirtes and his cast of actors must know how this production will be regarded as a copy, yet they still give it their all. Lacy Hartselle is particularly good in the title role of Anna, infusing her character with gusto, energy and spirit. There is no real let-up in the haunting either - they are there from the get-go and keep on coming until the end credits.
My only issues are than Anna looks incredibly young to have a daughter and to be embarking on her second marriage - also the recurring 'hook' of her questionable attitude to the pizza delivery lad remains in the memory (which is its purpose, I think),but for the wrong reasons: it does her otherwise likeable character no favours whatsoever.
Knock-off or not, this has nothing to do with 2018's film, other than the ghostly manifestation of the title, and as a venture in its own right, isn't a bad way to spend 80 minutes of your time. My score is 7 out of 10.
