This happens often, it happened with last rites as well. A DTV movie garners a lot of buzz with the horror community, you rent it, and then ask yourself how the hell anybody could give this film a rating superior to 1/10.
I was lucky though, I didn't read any hype regarding convent, I just took a chance on it. Before I explain my sentiments on the film, keep in mind I used to be a big fan of troma (still am, just not as much) and an even huger fan of low budget horror. This was the perfect example of how to take your small budget, and instead of putting it towards something good, wasting it on crap.
Wow, I don't even know where to start. The editing in certain scenes is soooooo cringe inducing. I have never been more humiliated and disgusted with such bad camera work. Just because you are indie, does not mean you have to add some seizure inducing camerawork.
The dialogue? Who the *beep* is the guy who PRAISED this dialogue in his review. Are you kidding me? I guess cheesy-as-hell one liners is your idea of a good dialogue. Me and my boyfriend couldn't stop laughing everytime that "bad-ass" nun (wow...just like most of the mag cover idols trying to portray a hardcore chick in comic book adaptions, she just doesn't have it...sorry.) uttered a line of dialogue.
It was worth the money for the rental though, for the number of times me and my boyfriend rewinded the motorcycle scene. Wow, o.k. you have budget restrictions, but couldn't you go back and fix that scene? It's clear it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to be (and even if it had, it would still have been CHEESE)
Wow, this movie was so half-assed and cheesy it actually made me angry! When a film can do that to a cinephile, and most of all, a super open minded horror fan who used to worship kaufman and herz, there is a problem...

I originally rented this movie when it came out, on a rainy hot as crazy morning(so hot i was sweating just sitting on the couch) at 6 am(video club was also a convenient store) and in my memories it was good. So i came across it cheap in a pawn shop and buyed it just to remember it, because exept the blowjob gone bad scene i didn't remember anything. And oh *beep* it was bad... how could i liked that movie? I mean cmon...its bad in every aspect of it, exept the girls are at least hot. I mean cmon i like b horror movie, im a huge fan of Night of the demons 3, but this movie show how you can have cheesy horror style done properly. Story is predictable, and at some point stupid, but the kills are fun, the gore effect look at least a little bit real. I mean seriously, i saw some bad movies with cheap special effect where the blood look fake, but here you get bright red blood...cmon.
Anyway, now that i saw it again, im not sure i want to see it a third time, but thing is im not sure some place will buy that back even for a $
