Who would have thought a movie with Coolio in the cast, would get a ten rating from me? Actually Pterodactyl was pretty fun as well, maybe he's making a comeback LOL. Seriously, hopefully not. Anyways onto my review, this film delivers with a solid cast, funny script, and a kick butt heroine performance from Scream Queen Icon Adrienne Barbeau. The scene of young Adrienne shooting up the demon nuns, was priceless. The gore was all there, and got past by the censors being that the demons bleed green slime, way to stick it to the MPAA Mr. Mendez. And by the way the gay satanist, needs to be cast in more genre films, he was hilarious in this. All in all good horror fun, and if you enjoy this, I recommend the Night Of The Demons Trilogy, The Hazing, Soulkeeper, and Dead Hate The Living, which are all fun tongue in cheek horror films like this.

I just saw this film for the first time and I must admit it was rather enjoyable. This movie obviously gives tribute to many films such as "Demons", "Night of the Demons", "Evil Dead", etc. The movie is very fast paced, filled with random gore scenes and a few familiar faces for those of you who know your horror movies.The movie starts off with a young woman walking into a church/convent and slaughtering all the nuns that she sees. 40 years later, a group of what would appear to be stereotypical dumb college frat kids who are out one night looking for a good time. Of course they go to the old convent where the massacre took place 40 years in the past. After most of them are chased away by the police (Coolio and Bill Mossely) the one that stayed behind is sacrificed by a bunch of loser wanna be goth kids. This is where the movie finally picks up as the rest of it is a blood bath mixed with humor and gore.I must say the beginning of the movie was really bad with the stereotypical college kids but if you can hold out for about 15 minutes it really is all worth the while. Now, the version of the movie I just got claims to be the full uncut version which would make sense because most of the reviews I have read say they wish the movie was more gory. This movie was plenty gory, at least enough to keep my slaughter appetite in check. Also look for Adrienne Barbou kicking serious butt in the last 15 minutes of the movie. 7/10 stars

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.

If you rented this movie expecting scares, you made a big mistake (I know the trailer is misleading). It is NOT MEANT TO BE SCARY. However, this film IS possibly the best splatter comedy to be released in years; it politically incorrect, irreverent, outrageous, contains gobs of gore (including one of the most outrageous openings i've ever seen), and makes fun of EVERYONE (cheerleaders, jocks, frat rats, pledges, cops, nuns, priests, and pretentious goths). Granted, the effects are cheap, but in a good way, and the performances are off the wall, but also in a good way. It works almost like a retro 80's horror comedy. how could i not endorse this movie? it is fun, required viewing for fans of gory horror comedies.
