Satanic Nuns Terrorize in New Trailer for Inspired-By-True-Story Horror Movie ‘The Convent’
Buenos Aires-based FilmSharks has acquired worldwide sales rights to the Satanic horror film The Convent (El Convento), ahead of its world premiere at Morbido Festival.
An ominous new trailer has arrived ahead of the film’s premiere at the Mexico-based festival on November 1.
The Convent is inspired by the true story of “The Satanic Nuns of Corella” in 1750 and is set in southern Spain, where a sect of unholy nuns sees the perfect womb for the son of the devil.
The official synopsis signals brutal horror ahead: “Lucia and Ana María, two young postulants newly arrived at a small convent, find themselves caught up in the strange events occurring there. Sister Agueda, the Mother Superior, famous for performing small miracles, welcomes them into her community and takes them under her wing.
“However, the nun is actually the epicenter of a series of horrors that will befall the girls, in an attempt to bring the presence of evil to Earth. After enduring horrors, rituals, and rapes, the young women must bravely face their destiny in order to survive.”
Ángel Manuel Chivite and Luis Galindo directed the feature from a screenplay they co-wrote with Jesús Córdoba Acarreta.
The cast includes Ana Álvarez, María Mercado, and Nahia Bergasa.
“We fell in love with the project a while ago and were chasing it for a while with a lot of competitors bidding, making this a hard-to-get gem,” Filmsharks CEO Guido Rud said in a statement. “We are lucky we got this deal closed; already received several offers as the Dark-Nuns sub-genre is evergreen when well directed and produced.”
Check out the new trailer and poster below, and stay tuned for more on The Convent as it arrives.
The next V/H/S installment is on the way, this time from producer Roy Lee (Weapons, IT), and it’s landed on its new theme.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, Variety reports, and it’ll be the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and sci-fi universes online. You can get acquainted with the SCP Foundation via Bloody FM’s SCP Archives podcast.
V/H/S: SCP will be framed as “’recovered field documentation,’ or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative.”
Spooky Pictures is headed by genre veterans Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Roy Lee (Weapons, IT). They’ll be joined by Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/Halloween) and Michael Schreiber (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/Beyond) as producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider said. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new, fresh, and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming installment marks the ninth film in this franchise.
The SCP Foundation is a worldwide force dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalies from people – At least according to the lore of the website.
