 Watch this! August 23, 2008

Awesome soundtrack, great performances, nice and disturbing nunsploitation at it's finest. Lots of really graphic violence and nudity. Lots statements about organized religion. Recommended to fans of Italian horror and sleaze. This one is tough to beat!

Sister Gurtrude is a disturbed nun troubled by her past, hates men and find's comfort in shooting up drug's (particularly morphine), murdering patient's and pure unadulterated sex. This is an ultra-sleazy nusploitation flick that also happen's to be based on a true story of a nun from central Europe (I know, the Catholic church involved in sin and blasphomy? Real shocker huh?), who would murder patient's for their possession's and shoot up morphine as a substitute for god. This is actually one of the better exploitaion flick's I've seen with really great music, a couple of good gore scenes, great production values for the time it was made, and it exposes yet another flaw with the Catholic church. Honestly after my first veiwing I would of probably given film this four star's for the lack of special effect's for my taste (there is some good gore though), but the second time around I could not help but fall in love with this film and give it five star's because of the simple fact's that it is a very well made movie, the music is excellent, and I don't beleive a movie like this could ever be replicated, even with the highest amount of effort. Highly recommended.
 uhh, kind of trashy October 7, 2007

There's nudity, nuns, and murder but none of this is adds up to be very titillating.

I would imagine if you are catholic you would find this little flick very offensive. But then again these days who gives a fluck...on to the review.
NUDITY: We don't get the Killer nun nude. Though she looks like she has some mega juciy melons! I learned that nuns sleep in the nude. The killer nun's roomate is an incredably hot lesbo. She gets nude, we see her full-frontal. She has a huge ( I mean huge)hairy bush. I got hard just seeing it. She also has big natural and pertect hooters. Enjoy.
The movie actually kept my attention. I acutally watched the whole thing. There is really no gore except a skull being cut open during surgury. Oh Yeah and some dude takes a swan dive from the fifth floor, that was pretty brutal, yuck.
I dug the movie, it was into the whole decent into madness, falling away from the church, and drug addiction. Yeah its all here.
 Killer nun stumbles, shambles, but doesn't fall at least . . . July 6, 2005

If you are a gore monger looking for another movie to get your sadist fix (like myself sometimes!), keep walking, this isn't the one. If you are an irrepressible horndog looking to get your freak on vicariously through a little on-screen sex, you're sniffing around the wrong doghouse. In fact, Killer Nun, despite the title and some gratuitous nudity, seems to avoid any extreme at all. Sure the idea of a lonely nun who's hooked on morphine and is slowly cracking up is appealing on a surface level, director Berruti doesn't really probe deep enough, so to speak. There are some giallo elements, but anyone with half a brain cell can see the ending coming a mile away. The violence is tastefully edited so you get corner-of-the-eye hints at what happens. There are some watered down sex scenes, but they are stupid and pointless as they do nothing to further the plot of the story. As far as the acting goes, it's not woeful. Anita Ekberg would be more than welcome to administer to my religious needs anytime---and I'm an atheist. The patients at the hospital were interesting as they arguably had more character than the leads did. Perhaps this was intentional on Berruti's part. Although, there really wasn't much of a point to this film, if it has any redeeming value or any strength, it is to serve as a cautionary tale about the rigors of the cloistered life and the mental toll that a religious life of material denial can exact. You need only look at the mess of our clergy in America to see this. As for the title, as Berruti explained in the interview (under extras in the menu), the film was loosely based on a nun in a Belgian retirement home who murdered old people for their gold. There was no drug addiction or sexual depravity or bizarre death . . . thank goodness for the magic of cinema to improve on the truth!
