Summary: One of the best openings for a horror film ever!
Review: The Covent has been called on of the year's best independent horror films and deservedly so.This has one of the best openings for a horror film ever.A car pulls up in front of a boarding school and out walks Christine armed with a baseball bat,a shotgun,and a can of gasoline.Upon entering,she opens up a can of whoopass on a group of nuns and a priest with the bat before blowing them away with the shotgun.(Pretty damn cool,huh?)
The rest of the film is fantastic with a great cast including rapper Coolio and Bill Mosely(better known as Choptop from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2)as 2 crooked cops.It also features Adrieanne Barbeu who played one of the most annoying characters ever in Creepshow.This movie also features the gorgeous Chanton Anderson.The Convent also has gore galore including plenty of decapatations,eyes gouged out,faces being ripped off,and heads being smashed.However,this film is not without its flaws.Some of the scenes don't make sense like when the female lead runs up to a cop screaming for help and covered in blood.What does the cop do?He shoots at her.What the hell?I thought policemen are supposed to help people not shoot at them.Then there's the oral sex scene which,in my opinion,could have been more grapic and violent.I'm assuming it wasn't more graphic because of those bastards at the MPAA(may they all burn in hell).And finally,this movie could have used a lot more T&A.With all the cast members,you'd think there would be more sex.About the only T&A scene is the bloody shower scene with Chanton Anderson.How she keeps those big beautiful melons of hers in that top,I may never know.The only reason I'm giving this movie 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lack of T&A.Still,this movie is well worth the price.I'll never grow tired of watching this movie.

Summary: The best horror/comedy in years!!
Review: Think Evil Dead II or Dead-Alive. You'll laugh, puke and scream all at the same time! Though I hear the Trimark DVD is cut by a few seconds (what a moronic waste of production time!) it's still worth picking up. I absolutley love this movie. It's destined to be a cult classic.

Summary: The greatest horror film in recent years besides GingerSnaps
Review: This film is the greatest horror film recently done besides Ginger Snaps and The Dead Hate the Living. I have never seen a horror movie as funny as this (this is way more comical than Evil Dead 2 or Return of the Living Dead). Come on, the scene with the poseur satanist? "The prince of darkness? Ahahahaha, you work at the friggin dairy queen!" "lies! lies! lies!" The goth chick Monica is definitely a hoot. Coolio's cameo was too hilarious. Nuns getting blown up! Adrienne Barbeau! Stereotypical teenagers! It gets no funnier than this! Kudos to Mike Mendez!

Summary: A great funny horror......
Review: This horror film has got it all. Gore, comedy, Demons and your typical hotty. I liked this film. I usually do not like newer horror films because they tend to be too serious and fail logically. The Convent is a straight up horror film that does not take it self serious. The producers had fun with the script by adding all the ingredients that make a good horror film entertaining to watch.

Summary: Really strange horror movie !
Review: This is not your normal standard type of horror movie. I don't think the writer/director intended it to be either. If you want to spend a mindless break in front of your TV after a hard day's work, then this is for you. I loved the part where the two guys are discussing their virginity while being wheeled down the corridor to be sacrificed; and the weirdo guy says to the other, 'I just haven't found the right one yet'.
I think reviewers on this site tend to rate the movie out of it's context instead of for what it really is, a dumb brainless horror movie which was intended to scare you a bit as well as make you laugh now and then. I like to experience those emotions after a terrible day at work in a job that I totally loathe with a passion. If you want to watch a horror movie that's a little more intellectual, then watch Bram Stoker's Dracula.....or is that a love story ???

Summary: Just Give Me Fiiive Minutes....
Review: This is the best camp horror of the decade. I would rate it right up there with Bad Taste, Scary Movie 2, Evil Dead... Adrianne Barbeau may tempt you into thinking that this will be a serious movie, and she certainly whoops some zombie behind, but this movie is about making well-educated fun of stereotypes. Plus, the special features are better on this DVD than any other movie's; they include slow-motion blue-screen shots of exploding heads and in-character commentary from the Prince of Darkness and his faye minion!!!
At this very moment, I am buying it for the second time!

Summary: not that great
Review: This movie could have been great but its not. the opening is a stunner but it goes downhill from there. and although the flashback scenes are pretty darn creepy with the nuns, its over far too quick. you wonder what adrienne barbeau was thinking being in this?! It could've and should've been alot better.

Summary: worth checking out if you like horror/comedy
Review: This movie is a horror/comedy mix that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The humor at times is hilarious (at one point the main character says "You mean my brother could become the antichrist? My mom's gonna be PISSED!") and sometimes it's just annoying.Adrienne Barbeau is awesome as the nun-killing "psycho"...she reminded me of an exaggerated Sigourney Weaver from the alien movies...she is the reason this movie somewhat succeeds. Other than that, the gore factor is pretty high (lots of blood, head-chopping, etc.). The main low-point of this movie is the bad acting of ALL the main character teens except the main girl. Some of their humorous lines would be a lot funnier if they knew how to deliver them. But, if you can look past the bad acting (and the pointless and confusing cameo of Coolio as a pot-smoking cop), this movie does have some redeeming qualities. The DVD has not much to offer except widescreen and a very short, pointless deleted scene. This isn't a movie for everyone, but it would probably be fun with a group of friends. Recommended.
