Bruno Mattei is one of my favorite directors of Italian exploitation films. In such films as RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR and NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES he shows an over the top abundance of ineptness that translates into a so bad it's good vibe. Even in his later shot-on video stuff I always find him entertaining in his eagerness to give the viewer shocking scenes amidst a sea of stupidity. That being said this nunsploitation flick from the 80's is a relatively subdued viewing experience from the master of sleazy thrills. There's the expected nun lesbianism and some whippings here and there but it never goes to the murky depths of depravity that Mattei usually wallows in. I guess he took this material more serious or something. Maybe for historical reasons since this was a remake of 1969's THE NUN OF MONZA which was one of the first nunsploitation movies ever. This TRUE STORY OF THE NUN OF MONZA stars Zora Kerova, who gore fans will recognize as the chick who gets hooks through her boobs in CANNIBAL FEROX, as a naughty nun who gets power hungry and then has to be punished. You get some footage of horse fucking stolen from Walerian Borowczyk's THE BEAST and not too much else that's all that memorable. I prefer Mattei's other nun epic THE OTHER HELL at least in that one you get some crazy hi-jinks from Satan himself.
No Satan at all in this movie just this ass-clown:
