Sex, violence and body fluids. When you think of the nunsploitation genre you would probably think of Italy first and other European countries next but this here film is a rare example of a Catholic-nuns-gone-wrong tale from Japan and I would put it up there among the best Eurotrash naughty nun films as a look at the evils of organized religion. It starts out with a hockey match, which is another one of the last things I ever thought I would see in an Asian film and from there it tells the tale of a young gal who's sent off to become a nun instead of going to an insane asylum. One of my favorite things about this movie, besides the ample nudity on display, is the way it thematically runs the gamut from serious drama featuring photos from Nagasaki after the atomic bombing to THREE STOOGES-like slapstick to bondage reel to beautiful art film to horrific horror film complete with a secret trap-door and acid bath. They jam so much into one movie that it's hard not to at least appreciate the effort. In this way I think it even tops most of the similar European nun flicks by adding those extra-insane Japanese elements. If you don't care about any of that stuff it still has hot nude Japanese gals being whipped with roses, nun wrestling, a rapist priest and Christ getting pissed on. Hard to go wrong with all that.
