The Convent [Blu-ray]

The Convent Blu-ray brings Mike Mendez’s long-unavailable 2000 horror cult favourite back to disc in an uncensored U.S. debut remastered in HD from the original uncut 35mm internegative elements. Mixing demonic possession, Satanic Panic, killer nuns and a wicked sense of humour, The Convent is a loud, fast and proudly outrageous fright film built for late-night horror fans.

In 1960, a young woman named Christine enters St. Francis Boarding School for Girls and unleashes chaos on the resident nuns. Forty years later, a group of college students break into the long-abandoned building to tag it with their fraternity letters, only to discover that the rumours of the place being haunted are terrifyingly true.

As demonic forces take hold, unlikely Satanists, disapproving cops and doomed trespassers collide in a night of supernatural mayhem. Adrienne Barbeau stars as the grown-up Christine, now a motorcycle-riding, shotgun-wielding survivor who may be the only one capable of stopping the evil once and for all. Featuring appearances by Bill Moseley and Coolio, The Convent delivers jolts, laughs and cult-horror energy in equal measure.
