The Convent is a 2018 British horror film written by Paul Hyett and Conal Palmer, and directed by Hyett. With its atmospheric and bleak cinematography, cruel imagery and delightfully over the top and deranged plotting as malevolent as those evil nuns, it sure will tempt those who love some bloody supernatural mayhem. The Convent (Portuguese: O Convento) is a 1995 film by Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira, starring Catherine Deneuve and John Malkovich and based on the novel As Terras Do Risco by Agustina Bessa-Luís.It was entered into the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. Her fate seems sealed except for the Her fate seems sealed except for the timely intervention of the mysterious Reverend Mother offering her not just sanctuary, but hope. THE CONVENT a film by Joe D'Amato The appalling treatment that Sister Susanna received at the hands of her father is now hardly more than a dim memory. I found that the movie lacked 'punch'. The true heroine of this film is Adrienne Barbeau ("The Fog", "Escape from N.Y") as the skilled demon-killer who comes to save the day. The Reverend Mother is the leader of a small religious retreat where her fellow Sisters seek atonement for their pasts. The dark and ramshackle convent makes an excellent horror location and the nun-costumes are really terrific. The beginning of the movie was a great plot but when it reaches the climax,it starts being confusing.I thought when Persephone first sees the entity,it would be a threat to the other sisters by haunting them,but after all,it suggests a randomly unmatched story with mostly unnecessary gore scenes. What ruined it for me is the outrageous homophobia towards the end. It’s been estimated that between 75-90% of silent films were destroyed or disappeared, and sadly The Convent Gate was one of them. Her new home is the convent of Arpajon, where her future is uncertain, but where she feels nothing could be as bad as her past experiences with her family. It's about a haunted convent visited by some youthful 90's stereotypes, but it's best not to think about the plot too much. The Convent in US theaters May 3, 2019 starring Hannah Arterton, Clare Higgins, Rosie Day. Which is super unfortunate, as The Convent shows possibility. Although without adding a substantially memorable story, The convent will sure please those who enjoy sinister medieval tales. By the time the film reaches its third act, the plot has given way to ridiculousness and cliches that detract from any tension or suspense that was built earlier. The acting, writing, photography, direction, and editing are all awful but that's forgivable in this type of movie if it keeps you in your seat. Having seen Paul Hyatt's Seasoning House - which is an incredibly disturbing yet brilliant movie - perhaps I was expecting too much from The Convent.
