Probably the finest nunsploitation movie ever to come out of Mexico. This movie would have been totally forgotten by now if not for "From Dusk Til Dawn", where Quentin Tarantino stole this title to give to Salma Hayak's character in the film. Pretty standard nunsploitation stuff, but while it does follow the formula to a tee, it does do all of it well. The hypocrisy is evident but, unlike other Spanish-Italian productions, isn't the sole motivator in the film. All the other fun bits of the nunsploitation genre are here: lesbians, naked nuns, whipping naked nuns, torture, general insanity, and plenty of ghoulish hellfire from Old Scratch himself. While not as enjoyable as the Japanese nunsploitation movies (I consider them to the pinnacle of the art), this is still one of the best. |
