ST. AGATHA Nun horror – free on Fawesome, Tubi and YouTube

‘Atone for your sins.’
St. Agatha is a 2018 horror film about a pregnant young woman who seeks refuge in a convent.

The movie was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Abattoir; The Barrens; 11-11-11; Saw II; III and IV; et al) from a screenplay by Andy Demetrio, Shaun Fletcher, Sara Sometti Michaels and Clint Sears (Tales of Halloween). The movie stars Sabrina Kern, Carolyn Hennesy and Courtney Halverson.

Plot:
The 1950s, a small town in Georgia: Pregnant con woman named Agatha is on the run and seeks refuge in a convent hidden in deafening isolation.

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 willpower Agatha has is tested. She soon learns the sick and twisted truth of the convent and the odd people that lurk inside its halls.

Agatha must now find a way to discover the unyielding strength needed to escape and save her baby before she’s caged behind these walls forever…

Background:
Bousman commented on his movie: “I have always been attracted to the dark, sinister, and macabre. But, as I find myself getting older and now being a dad, blood and guts no longer amuse me. I need something more. I look for content, character and themes.

St. Agatha spoke to me as it takes a look at the unflinching horrors that befell women in the 1950’s and how that parallels to the not so different horrors that are befalling them today. It was amazing to work with such a strong female cast, and I look forward to pulling back the curtain and letting others glimpse into our sinister world.”
