Watched The Nun II last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.It managed to avoid the 'saggy middle' and 'twenty minutes too long' syndromes that seem to afflict so many horror films. Taissa Farmiga was great, reprising her role as the intuitive. miracle-performing nun in her usual (largely) understated way.

In Vienna, if you are very fortunate, you too can live in an apartment in a block of flats owned by the council and designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
