alex-wright-537-334128 It is a Low budget film, but they made it work with what they had. The characters were awesome, some great lines...funny as f*%k!!! A MUST.

Zombified_660 The Convent is straight up one of the best horrors I've seen this year. It's funny, it's full of gore, it even manages to pull in some genuinely scary segments as well. The movie is best described as Evil Dead crossed with Hell Night. A bunch of high school students hole up in an abandoned convent for a pledge night prank then wind up getting attacked by zombie nuns.Director Mike Mendez obviously watched Sam Raimi's trilogy repeatedly as a kid, as the same mix of hardcore gore, hilarious one liners and gruesome zombies is here in abundance. Not only are the teen actors great and much more resilient and believable than the average 'sorority pledge' types, but the movie is home to genre veterans Adrienne Barbeau and Bill Mosely (You know, the skinny evil guy from House of 1000 Corpses!). You seriously can't lose with this movie.As you can tell, I'm stark raving mad about the Convent, it really is the daddy of the current wave of B Movie horror. It's had a lot of detractors, but how can any sane person not love a movie that throws thousands of guns, comedy Satan worshippers, horny teenagers, zombie nuns, the Antichrist and a very small dog into the mix. Check it out right now damn it.

Corrin Mortensen My friend's mom used to work at a video store and got to preview movies before they came out, so when she brought home The Convent, a horror movie, i couldn't wait to watch it. Given that it's supposed to be scary but is actually downright hilarious, I can say that in some weird way, I like this movie. yes, the acting is bad, and yes, it's the cheapest movie i've ever seen, but it's so damn funny! "WHAT, ARE YOU SMOKING CA-RACK?!" i didn't know this movie even was ever released... i figured it was too bad... Yeah, so... overall the movie is pretty bad (you gotta admit that much at least) but I promise you, you will get a good laugh out of it.*this movie kinda sucks but it's good for a laugh... especially that guy that holds the 'dagger of despair'.. THE DAGGER OF DESPAAAAAAIR!

IndieGods Not many low budget horror films work as well as this Mendez film. Mike Mendez successfully transports us to the 80's when horror films reveled in their clichéd characters and situations and the fans accepted and enjoyed it. This movie had it all! The jock, the cheerleader, the rich guy, the stoner, the goth, the geek and the nice girl. Toss in a couple demons and Adrienne Barbeau and you've easily got a movie that could have been made in 1987! It was wonderful! People looking for the self-aware nods and winks established in the glut of 90's teen horror films will be highly disappointed. This film never takes itself seriously and keeps it fast and fun. I highly recommend this film to horror fans.
