Paco Plaza continues to explore the horror genre, this time turning his attention to the religious horror that is having a bit of a revival. He certainly isn't reinventing the wheel with Sister Death, and the film isn't up there with his best, but if you're looking for a quality entry in this niche, Plaza has you covered.
There's a slow build-up towards a more animated finale, but the film never goes into overdrive. Sister Death is more about refined horror and atmosphere than all-out chills. Solid performances, a few memorable moments and a pleasant conclusion make this a worthy entry in Plaza's oeuvre, as long as you keep your expectations in check.
