Synopsis
The Convent (2018) is a British horror film you can watch online on iFILM. In early 17th-century England, a young woman named Persephone is dragged toward the gallows on a false charge, until a prioress buys back her life on the condition that she take holy vows in a remote convent.
Prayer and quiet never arrive. Bloody visions hound her instead, and something far worse than any court lurks behind the priory walls. Before long Persephone is fighting not for her freedom but for her soul. Michael Ironside plays a severe witch-hunter, with Hannah Arterton as Persephone.
Director Paul Hyett keeps it lean at barely eighty minutes and leans on grim religious dread rather than cheap jump scares. One for viewers who like folk-horror steeped in witch-trial paranoia. Stream The Convent (2018) online on iFILM.
