Anecdotes
Exteriors of the monastery are shots of Capilla Casa De Loreto in Tepotzotlan, Mexico.

Gaffes
Around 8:13, when the first monk opens the doors for the three visitors at night, some shots in which the faces of the three are shown, the monk's hand is on the foreground, holding a lamp. Even though the lamp is shown in previous establishing shots as lit, it is not in this one. Furthermore, the lighting on the visitors' faces come from a different angle and is diffused. The lamp's light would be quite hard and more frontal to them.

Great ghost story

This is one of a kind movie. The story is very simple, 3 friends get lost during a storm and end up in a haunted convent. Although the movie is a little predictable and somewhat moralistic, it keeps you at the edge of your seat all the way long. The movie is intentionally slow and sometimes you wish the characters get out of the tomb - like convent running as fast as they can. As with all the old horror movies, this one depends on acting and atmosphere rather than FX to reach its goal, and it does deliver. You almost can see the shadows walking off the wall and going after the main characters. The monks are quite unnerving, specially the laconic and authoritarian abbot. Although this film is no roller coaster, still is an unforgettable experience
