Review of The Convent

The Convent (2000)
7/10
Like Buffy on Acid
9 April 2008
This was a really great little horror movie that had some hilarious surprises up it's sleeve. With excellent direction and above average (for the genre) acting, I'm thinking of that 'Goth girl' in particular, it was a blast.

The film starts like every other horror movie : A bunch of teens decide to stay in a scary place, but these teens are actually nicely drawn characters and quite funny. As soon as the 'action' kicks in though, all bets are off. The film changes style to a 'love it or loathe it' UV lit zombie nightmare. It plays out like an episode of Buffy on Speed or Acid or both.

With fresh quirky characters (the Lord of Darkness guy, with his terrible accent) to keep you entertained throughout, this is definitely worth a watch. Especially if Adrienne Barbeau kicking glitchy,UV, demon ass is your thing Nice One!
