“The Convent” (*1/2 out of four) was a wan supernatural thriller set in the 17th century in which a young woman (Rosie Day) is saved from execution and is led to a priory to repent her sins but soon (yawn) finds a greater evil laying within the church which naturally leads to exorcisms and religious upheaval. Yet another horror movie loaded with pretentious religious symbolism and paranormal activity that makes you wish “The Exorcist” had never been made. Michael Ironside is wasted as the magistrate of the church. Is there a chance in Hell that someone can save his career from this kind of junk?
