i first become aware of this via the blue underground dvd and though i be not intrigue enough by the online review to acquire it while however and come my way recently while be in a nunsploitation frame of mind and i could not very well let the opportunity pas me by ( in hindsight and the english dubbing be atrocious even if the print revert for a couple of brief scene to the original italian language ) . i have never be a fan of voluptuous anita ekberg and watch her a a demented and dope addict and sex starve nun promise non stop camp while with this in mind and obscure director berruti lend the proceeding a matching deliriousness but and ala and the end result be considerably less than the sum of it part . the rest of the cast be interest but and apart from paola morra who and perhaps not to give the game away too early and effectively underplay her role a ekberg devote room mate ( incidentally and she would don the habit again that same year for walerian borowczyk behind convent wall ) and clearly operate below par represent joe dallessandro ( completely out of his element a a young doctor whom morra effortlessly manages to keep in check at the climax if you get my drift ) and alida valli ( literally phone in her performance a the mother superior ) and lou castel ( a a nosy cripple patient ) and massimo serato ( a the irascible elder doctor who and however and continually cut ekberg clumsiness some slack because she be the most valuable assistant he ever have . ) . mildly interesting be the fact that the killer nun be book end by two confessional scene ( the second of which abruptly terminate the film without a proper resolution . ) in which each of the protagonist spit out their hatred of the male specie while for what it be worth and though clearly unbalanced and give to foul mouthed outburst and ekberg be not the homicidal sister of the title but a victim of circumstance and reject affection . note for it blend the nunsploitation genre with the typical giallo formula and these element ought in fact to have make for a doubly entice proposition while yet the two style never properly jell and so that the film be too often ludicrous a oppose to grip ( much less scathing ) . in it favor and we do get alessandro alessandroni score which have an agreeable hard rock vibe to it particularly redolent of lead zeppelin music . unsurprisingly and the film be most memorable when it go over the top such a the irate ekberg crush an old patient dentures under her foot ( with the latter expire soon after . ) and all the murder set piece but especially the one where a nurse have needle painfully stick in her face ( year before takashi miike . ) and and it two risible sex scene ( an old wheelchair bound patient be service out in the rain by a young nurse and ekberg herself pick up a man at a café and then make love in the corridor of his apartment building ) .
