Horror. Thriller Set 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 dark layer where silence is forced, ghastly secrets are masked, and every bit of will power Agatha has is tested as she learns the sick and twisted truth of the convent and the odd people that lurk inside its halls.

	Author	Review
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"it’s such an engaging thrill ride full of shocking moments and fulfilling character arcs that it’s absolutely worth watching (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"It provides plenty of chilling, if slow-moving atmospherics and strong performances (...) [The screenplay] spends too much running time on uncompelling flashbacks"	NEU
United States	Luke Y. Thompson Forbes	"[Bousman] can still direct the hell out of a movie that is self-contained and not meant to be anything greater than a solid fright flick."	POS
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"'St. Agatha' is a bit of a mess, structurally. It’s overlong, with flashback sequences that are well-crafted but too digressive. But Kern and Hennessy are always incredibly entertaining"	NEU
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"Kern makes for an exceptionally sympathetic lead character (...) An unflinching depiction of a certain time and place, when nuns exploited other women."	POS
