My rating: 6.5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Part of the Nunsploitation Project (July & August 2013). Click here for more naughty nun insanity!
At the center of this Nunsploitation flick is a love story.
But being how this is Italian and it's the mid-70s you get a little exploitation, too, which includes a little skin...
...a little torture, violence and blood...
...let's have some more nudity...
...some WTF moments...
...and finish it with some heavy shit!
Despite the shitty VHS print, it's a good movie. I wouldn't mind watching it again if a nice, clean widescreen print showed up. There's enough exploitation elements throughout it to keep those interested who are less inclined to watch a romantic drama. I dug it. Besides, you can never have too much Barbara Bouchet. Hubba, hubba!
