St. Agatha

Certainly nothing to write home about, but it did keep me intrigued. It's slow moving, and works up to a pretty gruesome ending. No surprise twists, and the acting is ok with a very solid performance by Carolyn Hennessy. It kind of wants to be a spin off of AHS Asylum, but doesn't quite make it. Flawed at best, I still felt like it was worth the watch. I found myself drawn toward most of the characters, despite a weak script. Give it a shot. Your might like it!

I wish I could say there was a twist or something super exciting and unpredictable that happens but there just isn't.

Giving it 3 stars only because the acting was okay.... But the script and directing of it was absolutely horrendous. It's one thing to give your screen characters the IQ's of a potato, but it's unforgivable to treat your audience as morons. Add to that a slow pacing only made even slower by numerous flashbacks. It might have been saved by at least a good finale confrontation between the main protagonist and antagonist, but even that was omitted. Instead we were given a ridiculous ,unrealistic and almost laughable act at the end.

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.

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.
