Title: the Convent
Post by: Chopper on August 31, 2003, 10:16:17 PM
anyone out there seen this? it seems like it was trying to be some wierd ode to those early-80's-monster-B-movies, but from the middle until the end it seems like it all falls apart. the most interesting thing was an apperance by Adrien Barbou.

I like Adrien Barbou in THE FOG. What are her best films in your opinion?

Swamp Thing....heh heh.

I didn't like The Convent much...hated the music-video style scenes, and hated the attempts at comedy.

yeah, overall it was pretty stinky haha. i think the only thing i liked was the 80's-nostalgic feel it had to it, but that didn't save the movie from it's horrible storyline and lame 2d characters.

It was cheesy and fun, I dug this movie quite a bit.  Half Italian Satanic lesbian nun movie, half teen slasher/biker movie.  Good times.

yeah he plays a cop who clearly states he's strongly against "these evil marijuana substances!" you have to see it to believe it.

much to my surprise i did some research on her 80's-horror-films & she hasn't been in as many as i though she was. my own favourite she did was probably Creepshow, i saw it at wal-mart the other day for 6$ but i didn't feel like buying a movie i would only watch 1 time.
 for more info on her career check out this link: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000105/

I was pretty disappointed in it... in a good way...so that's not to say i didn't like it. It had some fairly good... or bad, if you prefer,.. scenes. It started off promising but did seem to fall apart... as though they ran out of any attempt at originality.

Still, having said that... i'm still happy to have it in my collection.
