\"\"<\/a>Killer Nun<\/em><\/strong> is a messy horror film under the \u2018nunsploitation\u2019 label though outside of a sometimes intense performance from Anita Ekberg and some interesting moments here and there, this never quite captured my attention.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>A demented nun Sister Gertrude (ANITA EKBERG) tortures and kills patients while having a sexual relationship with another nun, Sister Mathieu (PAOLA MORRA), and also abusing drugs.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>I\u2019m not fully familiar with the \u2018nunsploitation\u2019 type of films, in fact Killer Nuns<\/em><\/strong> might be the first one I\u2019ve seen all the way through. As such, it does tend to follow familiar themes with other Italian films of the era, often messy films with sloppy or chaotic editing, more often to obscure the true killer. This one just has the added bonus of characters being nuns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But even with all its problems with the storytelling, I will say Anita Ekberg, a Swedish beauty in her \u2018older\u2019 (if 38 is actually considered old), was quite good in the role and still was a great splendor which made her actions feel even a little more authentic, and the lovely Paola Morra held her own.<\/p>\n

Killer Nun<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t at all terrible but at times it felt disjointed at times but keeping the film afloat was the performances from Ekberg and Morra. Maybe if you\u2019re a fan of Italian cinema or \u2018nunsploitation\u2019 specifically, might get something more out of this.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
