Movie Reviews of The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine
Movie Review: The Not Very Sinful Nuns of Saint Whatever
Summary: 2 Stars
The nuns in this flick are not very bad. They are plenty stupid, but not very sinful. The real evil in this film is the holy ineptitude with which it was produced. The only significantly bad people in the story, the abbess and the principal inquisitor, are merely crazy. Nunsploitation is supposed to be about sex, and there just is not much in this movie; what there is looks oafish and blaze'. The plot is trivial and at the same time too fantastic for anyone to suspend even a moment of disbelief. It pretends to a kind of Romeo and Juliet theme, but it is just a farce in comparison to even a high school play written by undereducated teens. The film could have been comic in this regard, but it is carried off so ineptly that it fails even a glint of value on that score too. All in all, it was a waste of money and time since even the women appear less than pleasing -- no great beauty to marvel at, no well shaped figures to roil the blood, no alabaster bossoms, no face to launch a thousand ships. Watching it was tedious.
Summary of The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine
An Italian "nunsploitation" epic in which a demented Mother Superior and a rabid collection of mentally disturbed and sex crazed sisters lose their habits and morals with equal gusto.Though ostensibly inspired by The Devils of Loudon, the true story of a convent suspected of breeding devil-worshipping acolytes, this purely exploitative example of "nunsploitation" tosses in elements of Edgar Allan Poe, the lurid sex and sadism of Italian exploitation horror, and even a bent variation on Romeo and Juliet. During the Inquisition Era, an innocent boy accused of heresy seeks refuge in the convent where his girlfriend has been sent by her intolerant father. The Abbess, who pretends to assist the young man, is an insatiable sadist who tortures her charges (usually half-naked) and accuses the innocent girlfriend of murder after the brutal death of her cellmate. This unsavory helping of kink delivers all it promises (nudity! whippings! lesbian sex between acolytes!) with ham-fisted bluntness and then sinks into a hypocritical happy ending in which the Grand Inquisitor himself becomes the paternalistic hero! Neither campy nor stylishly fun, this is for die-hard fans only. Included are trailers for this and three other Italian exploitation films and an extended introduction by British horror hostess Eileen Daly (which was actually recorded for a different film!), a black-leather Elvira with a whip and a penchant for kink that may not be to the tastes of all audiences. -Sean Axmaker
