Let's see. How many complaints can I come up with about this movie without even bothering to hard? Well, first, the entire cast seems to be on Valium; and all but three of them (the actors playing Elizabeth, Sara, and Theresa) apparently don't seem to speak English and learned their lines by phonetically. That makes their cadences weird and their dialogue almost impossible to understand. But at east a few of them said no to the valium and turned in some suitably bonkers performances.
The script, which appears to have been written by a sixteen-year-old, leaves far too many unanswered questions. For instance 1) What the heck happened to the priest at the beginning? Did he drown or survive? We never see him again or learn his fate. Maybe he survived and pushed the first nun we see off the cliff, but if so, why did he do it, and 2) if not, who did push her - and why? 3) Why was Elizabeth so desperate to get to the island the moment she arrived? It's nighttime and pouring buckets, two different boat captains warn her that she might sink if she tries, and she honestly has no reason to rush. 4) What sorry excuse for an editor spliced together a night scene on the island where it's still raining buckets with a night scene showing a cloudless sky - and then another night scene where it's raining buckets? 5) Why is the island's (apparent) coroner chopping up bodies and feeding them to seagulls, and why doesn't Elizabeth seem to care? 6) Was the child who staged the biggest serious the same one who wrote the script? 7) Couldn't that kid or the incompetent editor at least have thought of speeding up that scene to make it look like the fighters' blows were connecting with more force than feathers?
Really, the only good thing I can say about this movie is that the set designer had some nice, spooky catacombs to work with and plenty of money for candles.
Don't waste your time on this piece of dreck. It's not worth even $1.99.
