If you enjoyed Corin Hardy’s Conjuring spinoff The Nun, there’s another “nunsploitation” movie coming down the pike you’ll want to check out. The Convent takes place in 17th Century England where women accused of witchcraft had two choices: A death sentence or a life serving as a nun, cloistered away. In this convent, however, no one can be saved!
Give the spooky trailer a spin at the top of the article and read the synopsis below.
Synopsis:
In the early 17th century, innocent young Persephone is falsely accused and put on trial for her life. Her fate seems sealed except for the timely intervention of the mysterious Reverend Mother offering her not just sanctuary, but hope. For the Reverend Mother is the self-appointed leader of a small religious retreat, a secluded Priory, where her fellow Sisters devote their lives to the Lord and seek atonement for their pasts. But upon arrival, Persephone is plagued with terrifying visions and soon realizes that it’s not salvation that awaits but a battle for her very soul itself.
The Convent is directed by Paul Hyett from a screenplay he co-wrote with Conal Palmer and Gregory Blair; the film stars Hannah Arterton, Clare Higgins, and Rosie Day. Look for it in select theaters and On Demand begining May 3rd.
