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

Tension is maintained, the ominous music helps but the suspense is zero n the ending rushed n a big meh.

Had read very bad reviews bah it n even the ratings weren't convincing but I had hope in Bousman. The plot - A pregnant con woman seeks asylum in an isolated convent run by a bunch of outcast nuns. The woman's backstory is told through flashbacks. It doesn't take much longer to reveal to us that the nuns r short of cash, their donors r limited, they r very extreme in their torture methods but somehow they do have a doctor always ready. The set up is 50's n therefore one shouldn't question the plausibility. But what really bugs me is the rushed up ending. Although ther is decent tension maintained n the ominous music helps but the suspense is zero n the ending meh.
