Summary: Nunsploitation at it's best
Review: I first saw this film on the pan and scan video years ago. What a great job BU have done as usual to restore it. This is a good film and anyone familiar with the exploitation sub-genre of nunsploitation will recognise this as a stand out film. There are some very atmospheric set pieces in the film Anita Ekberg's flashbacks and the giallo inspired murder of the old woman. I just wish we had the original italian soundtrack. As is usual with dubbed films it detracts from the power of the film by having cheesy actors do the overdubs. Some of the editing is a bit sloppy but Italian exploitation fans are well used to this. The gorgeous Paola Morra is worth the price of the film alone. Well worth checking out.

Summary: Killer Nun
Review: The Killer Nun is an extremely boring movie. The movie just doesnt seem to ever pick up. You wait and wait for something to happen but nothing does. There is little or no gore, little nudity, and if those arent present than you definatly want a good plot,interesting characters,something to catch your attention, but you will not find anything in this movie. Its a shame too because the movie looks and sounds good and the extras are there as well. In fact the most interesting thing on this dvd is the interview with the director,Giulio Berruti.

Summary: Decent, with actual story and competent direction
Review: This review is really to compensate for what I believe is a mildly unfair review of this movie. The truth is, you get what you paid to see, plus a little more. There's a healthy amount of exploitation; you get a great set of knockers and one or two decent murder scenes. On top of this, you get a mild amount of suspense. Not a lot, but some. The ending basically confirms your suspicions, but there's always the possibility that you're wrong, and the resolution is left until the end. The story is decent, the direction tells the story well (this is usually the failing of these low budget exploitation movies). The acting is, well, dubbed, so half the performance is lost, but I've seen acting dubbed to worse effect, so all in all the acting is acceptable and doesn't distract from the story-telling. I'm not sorry I watched this movie. And really, isn't good jiggle always worth watching?
