Mendez plays into visual trends of the day, striving to create nightmare visuals for a feature that's not committed to being scary. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
Anyone who doesn’t predict the final gotcha clearly hasn’t seen enough horror films -- perhaps a blessing when it comes to junk like this. Go to Full Review

The Convent may have a few issues and some problematic humor here and there but it’s still a lot of fun. Go to Full Review

B-
Everything is played way over-the-top, using the traditional trappings of a teen horror flick, but using them so much they become satirical. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 18, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more craig s @RT21760906 Nov 5, 2024 The convent, is one of them films I always go back to every few years, and a film I can enjoy every watch. The films being in the verge of slapstick with a horror touch, with your typical cliche moments. Idiotic teens, go into a haunted abounded place, mess around etc….. What I truly love love about the film is its themes, the use of uv paint and lighting, some of the kills are also fun and unique. See more Courtney K @c0urtn3y Jul 16, 2022 LOL "we knew something was off right away" - oh, was it the neon green eyes, neon blue veins, & glowing teeth perhaps? haha. if you're looking for a good movie, this ain't it. it's EXTREMELY campy, so i guess if you're into that maybe you'll enjoy it. it was just too over the top for me; i wasn't in the mood. See more Sep 11, 2019 The Convent's inclusion of a single character seen only at the beginning and end of the film is basically all that separates it from being a shot-for-shot remake of Night of the Demons. Which I gues doesn't sound so bad in theory, I mean, I like that movie, so ripping it off isn't the worst idea. But if you're gonna steal the entire concept, maybe don't steal some of the other stuff. Like I think it would've even been easier to swallow if it was just something as straight forward as making the "demons" look different from how they do in Night of the Demons, you know, just for that little bit of originality. But I guess that's too much to ask. I honestly did still kind of enjoy this though. See more Dec 29, 2016 Without a doubt one of the campiest horror movies I have ever seen. The cheese factor is off the scale. See more May 6, 2014 Hilarious, brutal, blasphemous, and insane, The Convey is a horror-comedy that doesn't fall apart on either front like most horror-comedies. A film that will surprise and delight horror fans from beginning to end, The Convent is a truly original and genuinely crazy piece of horror cinema.... See more Read all reviews
