El convento

I don't even now why I gave this movie 2 stars, maybe for the colors? The movie is not enjoyable horror wise - just some demented people doing crazy things. Things that could be stopped but the main characters of the movie seem to be some brainless sheep. There's some characters that were made to make you hate them and that's about it. There's no horror in this movie.

OK, so this isn't going to be a film for gore fans. It is more of a psychological thriller/horror than all out horror.

Even so, this film is well acted and produced with a solid story yo can become engrossed in.

Certainly worth a watch.

This movie isnt the worst but its far from good. the acting is actually quite good but the writing kinda sucks. there's plotholes and a whole lot of suspense building to the end but then we dont get a resolution. There's also some hints at there being a supernatural element but that never gets explored. Its not so much a horror film as a thriller or suspense perhaps. I wont rewatch it but its not a bad flick to put on while you do something else.

Darren Lynn Bousman has had some rough years as a director, yet his previous works, in my opinion, stand higher than this one.

"St. Agatha", as a horror, offers nothing new, original, amazing, extraordinary or even good. The writers responsible for the story and characters definitely do not deserve nor applause nor a subtle nod, maybe a little shaming. The story's fairly straight-forward, never builds up to anything unexpected, the suggested supernatural angle of the plot is not explored or explained much at all. The protagonist characters are traditionally dumb, the antagonist characters are sort of over-written, even annoying at some points. However, the acting did not bother me, given the variety of weakly written characters, the level of acting in "St. Agatha" is rather impressive.

Cinematography is decent, noticeably low-budget, but good enough to not annoy the eye of the viewer. There are a few decent, scattered scenes of violence & abuse - the short, more action-ey parts of the movie are at least average. All is accompanied by a soundtrack that's mostly noticeable only when the ominous, creepy choir voices join in. The pacing is pretty draggy, there's more lows than highs. If you don't have a strong principle of finishing whatever You've started watching, as I do, prepare for the risk of poor Agatha putting You to sleep.

"St. Agatha" is a painfully average, if not below, indie horror flick. Disappointing. My rating: 4/10.

Had read very bad reviews bah it n even the ratings weren't convincing but I had hope in Bousman. The plot - A pregnant con woman seeks asylum in an isolated convent run by a bunch of outcast nuns. The woman's backstory is told through flashbacks. It doesn't take much longer to reveal to us that the nuns r short of cash, their donors r limited, they r very extreme in their torture methods but somehow they do have a doctor always ready. The set up is 50's n therefore one shouldn't question the plausibility. But what really bugs me is the rushed up ending. Although ther is decent tension maintained n the ominous music helps but the suspense is zero n the ending meh. Carolyn Hennesy as Mother Superior is top notch.
