Storyline

In the 1950s in small-town Georgia, a pregnant young woman named Agatha seeks refuge in a convent. What first starts out as the perfect place to have a child turns into a nightmare wherein silence is forced, ghastly secrets are masked, and every bit of willpower Agatha has is tested as she learns the sick and twisted truth of the convent and the odd people that lurk inside its halls.

Goofs

When Mary/Agatha is going through Mother Superior's desk she happens upon a stack of money. At the top of the stack is a modern $100 bill with the enlarged face of Benjamin Franklin. These bills were not put into circulation until 1996, which is, at the very minimum 40 years after this film is said to have taken place.

User Reviews

Cruelty, not Horror

In 1957, the teenager Mary (Sabrina Kern) feels guilty for the accidental death of her young brother drowned in a bathtub. She decides to leave her alcoholic father to live with her boyfriend Jimmy (Justin Miles). They become con artists, but one day one of their victims discovers the scheme and take all their money. Pregnant and left without any means of survival, Mary decides to leave Jimmy, who is a musician, and move to an isolated convent to deliver the baby. She is welcomed by the Mother Superior (Carolyn Hennesy), but soon Mary learns that there is a scheme in the convent to take the babies from the pregnant women.

"St. Agatha" is a film labeled with the horror genre, but there is basically cruelty and not horror. However, it is not a bad movie, but the viewer needs to have the stomach for watching the cruelties that Mary is submitted in the convent by the nuns. My vote is six.
