US Synapse Films Blu-ray 2024 edition - region all

 

 

 


Very Trashy but Very Funny lowbudget horror comedy


Not Troma trashy but smart trashy and funny where seven annoying College
students, not just unlikeable but also overaged decides to break into an
abandoned old Convent once run by Father Ryan, Mother Superior and their
evil Nuns. Not just evil, they were Devil worshippers too.

In 1960 a woman, Christine, entered St. Francis Boarding School armed with
gasoline, a baseball bat and a shotgun and killed all of the nuns and the priest.
The Revenge because the Priest performed an abortion on the 16 year old
Christine O'Malley (as a grown woman played by Adrienne Barbeau) and
with Christine spending 30 years in a Madhouse.

The College students casually (at first) stroll around in the abandoned house
said to be haunted by the ghosts of nuns and the Father, but they also
encounters two quite living Devil worshippers - played by Lords of Hell:
Saul and Dickie-Boy, and they are funny as ... Hell.
The Students, i.a. Clarissa (Joanna Canton) and Monica (Megahn Perry)
has to call in the reinforcement, Christine O'Malley, a tough chick on a
bike and armed with a shotgun.
