If you're looking for a big budget, high quality horror film, this ain't it. However, if you're looking for demonic nuns, Coolio at a convenience store, and homoerotic satanists, you've come to the right place!

Cheaply made, poorly acted, but completely delightful and also rather short. It's like mumble-core, only better. Also, best use of the song "You Don't Own Me," by Lesley Gore, ever.
