_The Convent's_ inclusion of a single character seen only at the beginning and end of the film is basically all that separates it from being a shot-for-shot remake of _Night of the Demons_. Which I gues doesn't sound so bad in theory, I mean, I like that movie, so ripping it off isn't the worst idea. But if you're gonna steal the entire concept, maybe **don't** steal some of the other stuff. Like I think it would've even been easier to swallow if it was just something as straight forward as making the "demons" look different from how they do in _Night of the Demons_, you know, just for that little bit of originality. But I guess that's too much to ask. I honestly did still kind of enjoy this though.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
