Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Convent (2000)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The MPAA gave the film an NC-17; Mendez recalled the issue was it being "too bloody", so it was re-sent and re-edited twice to get an R rating, and was cut by 19 seconds.
- The original script was written by Chaton Anderson, who drew on an eerie building she knew growing up, an abandoned "religious home for runaway girls"; she and her friends broke into it at 14 or 15, and she recalled it as "the most dilapidated and sinister place I'd ever set foot in".
