Critics Consensus

St. Agatha makes admittedly uneven use of its story's well-worn religious tropes, but the overall effect may still be just chilling enough for horror fans.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

This is a bold, broad portrait of a secret society, left alone by the government to rule their own roost by fear.

St. Agatha may take too long to get going, but once the film is up and running it's perverse, overheated fun.

Rated: 3/4

The Hollywood Reporter

St. Agatha is less overtly gory and supernatural-oriented than most efforts of its ilk, but it provides plenty of chilling, if slow-moving atmospherics and strong performances.

Cinema Crazed

The film as a whole ends up feeling a bit long and this may lose some people but the ending is absolutely worth sticking around as well as the evolution of Sabrina Kern as Mary from her meek start to the end where she changes in the ways she needs.

Rated: 3.5

I love how much it made me think. And, ultimately, that is what movies should do.

... Bousman didn't know what he wanted, so he threw a bunch of stuff at the wall to see what stuck.

This was a very good movie. A girl went to a home ran by nuns which turned out to be her worst nightmare and she wasn't able to leave. This movie is very engaging. It's definitely worth a watch

A pregnant woman takes refugee in a convent ran by sadistic nuns. She is forced to fight for her own survival when she starts uncovering the nuns' dark secrets. A religious horror movie that relies on a simplistic plot: nuns committing demonic acts against innocent young women. Unoriginal!

An amateur horror film. Too disgusting in places for my taste, but horror films are meant to provoke a reaction, and it certainly did! This isn't a jumpy film, but does make you cringe. I have been left feeling disappointed and robbed of a thrilling horror.

Talk about a twisted movie. I have a sensitive stomach and this movie made me gag a couple times. You run to these people who you think are religous and can help you turn your life around. But you realize it's all an act and these people make your life a living hell. What torture these girls go through. I overall thought this was a good movie. Very good but sick
