Friday, June 6, 2008 Massive movie trailer update
Okay, remember we promised a big update? We've just added a dozen movie trailers to the site. This update is so big, we had to split our Naughty Nun Theater into two pages!
The list of trailers we added is too long to overview in this space, so just head on over to the movie trailers section and don't forget to check out the second page as well as the first!
We've got more updates in store, so keep watching this space!
Verbotene Apfel reviewed!
Today, we bring you a review of another Giancarlo Bini film, Der Verbotene Apfel or The Forbidden Apple.
Fans may remember Giancarlo Bini as the director of another nunerotica film, Der Schwanze Nonnes von Monza AKA: Io La Monaca di Monza (although the film really has nothing to do with the Monza tale).
While the habits do come off too quickly for our tastes, Der Verbotene Apfel is pretty good as far as nun porn goes. Check out our review and image gallery
Thursday, June 5, 2008 Nuns in anime: The NHK welcomes you!
We've got a big update planned soon, but while we're working on that, here's something to tide over you rabid nunsploitation fans!
In the first episode of the new anime Welcome to the NHK, Tatsuhiro Sato has a very detailed fantasy about Misaki Nakahara as a naughty nun. Check out this video clip of Misaki masturbating in full nun garb!
Special thanks to Doc Watson at our sponsor AnimeNation for tipping us off to this little piece of nunsploitation in anime!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008 Good Girl, Bad Girl reviewed
There's a new nunsploitation movie out that sort of crept up on us. Good Girl, Bad Girl is a German, made-for-TV movie filmed in English. It was recently released on DVD in the United States and it's surprisingly good!
German TV star Julia Stinshoff plays a dual role as twin sisters: The sexy nightclub dancer, Vanessa, and the pious nun, Maria. When Vanessa gets framed for murder, she seeks refuge in the convent, but the two girls get mistaken for each other. Sister Maria gets kidnapped and Vanessa is forced to disguise herself as a nun to hide from the law.
We finally got the opportunity to watch and reviewKim Stim's DVD release of Masaru Konuma's nunsploitation entry into Japan's pinku eiga genre, Runa's Confession.
These are amazing deals. It's a great chance for fans of nunsploitation and nunerotica to check out some of these great anime titles. We've sample clips and some trailers for most of these titles if fans would like a little preview.
While it's not a nunsploitation film, a quick plot summary for The Sound of Music makes it sound like it should be!
Think about it, an unconventional nun is sent to be a nanny for a distinguished Austrian ex-military officer. She struggles between her vows and her attraction to him before she finally leaves the convent. Together, the two of them battle the Nazis and escape the clutches of the Third Reich. To date, it's the only film we've been able to find that combines nuns and Nazis, yet it is neither nunsploitation nor nazisploitation. There's something inherently wrong about that.
If that's not enough, Canadian studio CBC is launching a new reality show in which contestants will vie for lead role in the October production of The Sound of Music at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre.
"How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" debuts June 15. A Canadian reality show dealing with Nazis and nuns and it's not even Canuxploitation?
Sunday, May 25, 2008 Dark Chapel 2???
Japan Anime has been languishing since last year, pushing back release dates indefinitely and not releasing anything at all since October.
All of that changed yesterday when Morgan Evolh posted an announcement to the AnimeOnDVD forum announcing the June release of Mistreated Bride 3. Could Dark Chapel 2 be far behind? We'll keep watching but hopefully, the second part of this erotic nun anime will see an an English-language North American release soon!
Saturday, May 24, 2008 Kloster der Sunde reviewed!
Yes, we're hard at work here at Nunsploitation.Net trying to get through this back log of nun porn for you, our beloved visitors!
Today's review is another nun erotica title from Goldlight: Kloster der Sunde directed by Rud Meir.
It's the story of Jessi, a down-and-out prostitute who gets sick of streetwalking and joins the convent. Only in this convent, there isn't much difference between the life of a nun and the life of a prostitute....
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Bad Lieutenant remake to star... Nicholas Cage?
Apparently, those awful National Treasure movies that Disney has been putting out serve a purpose: to spare us from a long line of bad remakes featuring Nicholas Cage. Hollywood's latest victim is Bad Lieutenant in which Cage will take on Harvey Keitel's role as a corrupt cop.
Bad Lieutenant was originall directed by Abel Ferrera with a writing assist from Zoe Lund (Ms. 45). In the movie, a dirty cop seeks two men who brutally raped a beautiful young nun. In the face of the nun's piety, he is forced to confront his own shameful past.
It's strange that Nicholas Cage is doing a nunsploitation remake since his sexy Ghost Rider co-star Eva Mendes confessed her childhood desire to be a nun last year.
Monday, May 19, 2008 Black Narcissus goes Blu-ray in the UK
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1947 nunsploitation classic Black Narcissus is scheduled for a Blu-ray DVD release in the U.K. on June 16 through UK distributor ITV DVD.
In addition to being a nunsploitation classic, the film is a masterpiece of world cinema and a must-see for all movie lovers. We highly recommend it!
We've finally gotten the opportunity to watch and review the Italian staple nunerotica film Clausura featuring the beautiful Maria Bellucci.
All we can say is -- what took us so long! This movie is classic with tons of hot scenes and one of erotica's hottest stars! Check out our review and free image gallery.
We've also teamed up with Club Maria Bellucci to offer you some free galleries and movie clips featuring Clausura's beautiful star.
Sunday, May 4, 2008 One Pound Gospel now on DVD!
Great news! The hillarious nunsploitation romantic comedy One Pound Gospel (AKA: Ichi-pound no Fukuin) is now available on DVD!
This region-free DVD now available from HK Flix includes the complete nine-episode series. It weighs in at three discs and boasts English, Chinese and Malaysian subtitles.
One Pound Gospel is actually a live-action adaptation of a manga by Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, and Inu Yasha. Check out our review!
Friday, May 2, 2008 Sacred Flesh director blasts BBFC
Nigel Wingrove, director of the most erotic nunsploitation films ever made, Sacred Flesh, blasted the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) today in a scathing post to the Salvation Films web site.
Wingrove's remarks were in response to the BBFC's April invitation to resubmit his film, Visions of Ecstasy with the promise that the film would likely be approved for distribution. The BBFC assured Wingrove that the blasphemy law the film was banned under would soon be abolished, clearing the way for the film's release.
Insulting the intelligence of the BBFC and calling their honesty into question, Wingrove stated on the web site: "At this stage we have not yet decided what to do with Visions but whatever we do it will be on our terms and without the connivance of one of the worlds most censorious bodies."
Sunday, April 20, 2008 'Doubt' gets secret screening
Apparently, the rumors are true. There was a top secret screening of the big screen version of John Patrick Shanley's Pullitzer-winning play Doubt.
According to producer Scott Rudin, a screening was held in Manhattan to gauge audience reaction. The screening was so low-key, not even Miramax new about it.
So far, the initial reaction has been positive. Ain't It Cool News has a review of the screening. "Hoffman, always fantastic, goes toe to toe with Streep -- and their face offs are explosive," Dave Feldman reports on Ain't It Cool. "The
beautiful Amy Adams, who's generally known for her cute, quirky characters, shows she has got some real chops (She plays the nun in the middle of this moral tug of war). She plays her character with a real sense of inner strength amidst all of these battles."
Doubt is expected to be released December 5.
Saturday, April 19, 2008 Sister Emanuelle single reminder
Just a reminder that Severin's single DVD release of Sister Emanuelle is slated for April 29.
The movie was released on DVD last year as part of Severin'sBlack Emanuelle box set along with Emanuelle in Bangkok and Emanuelle Around the World. The box set also comes with a bonus audio CD featuring a remastered soundtrack.
Saturday, April 12, 2008 Two new nunerotica reviews
We've got two new movie reviews for our Nunerotica section.
First, enjoy our review of Schwanze Nonnes von Monza (AKA: Io la Monaca di Monza). This is no ordinary convent! Not only is sex no longer taboo, but some of the nuns are not everything they appear to be....
Also check out our review of Der Alte Kardinal. The old Cardinal is ready to retire and the Mother Superior is glad to see him go. He has a reputation for fooling around with the nuns. Little does she know that his replacement is an even bigger lecher!
Sunday, April 6, 2008 Sacred Flesh director may appeal blasphemy ban
Before director Nigel Wingrove made Sacred Flesh, the most erotic nunsploitation film ever, he directed a 19-minute film called Visions of Ecstasy. The short was characterized by the shocking anti-clerical erotic imagery Wingrove has become known for similar to the themes explored in Sacred Flesh. However, Wingrove was unprepared for the BBFC's decision to strike down the film under the UK's ancient blasphemy laws.
"I was gobsmacked by the reaction," Wingrove told The Guardian. "I can see why some people might have been offended, but it was pretty mild stuff, really."
However, the medieval relics of Europe's blasphemy laws may soon be coming to an end and the BBFC has recently invited Wingrove to resubmit Visions of Ecstasy for review.
Nunsploitation fans should take note that Wingrove included a scene in Sacred Flesh similar to the one that got Visions of Ecstasy banned, but the director learned his lesson and cast a nun on the cross to avoid another run in with the BBFC.
Saturday, March 22, 2008 One Pound Gospel down for the count
The live action version of Rumiko Takahashi's romantic comedy One Pound Gospel (AKA: Ichi-pound no Fukuin) has come to an end.
Weighing in at 9 episodes, the series featured pop singer Kamenashi Kazuya as up-and-coming boxer Hatanaka Kosaku. Model Kuroki Meisa plays his love interest, Sister Angela -- yes, a nun (why else would we tell you about a TV show about a boxer?).
It's a great series with a very anime-like feel to it. We strongly recommend it to our visitors. No word yet on a home video release, but, as always, we'll be sure to keep you updated on the details.
Wednesday, March 12, 2008 Grindhouse star tapped for nun role
It's been a while since we had an update on the upcoming Mighty Macs movie Our Lady of Victory.
Filming is complete and the movie is in the midst of being scored. It should be ready for screening for distributors soon.
Grindhouse star Marley Shelton has been tapped to play assistant coach Sister Sunday. It looks like Shelton is going for as many fetishes as possible. She played a cheerleader in Sugar and Spice, a doctor in Grindhouse and now a nun. If she stays true to form, it's only a matter of time before she plays a flight attendant.
Sunday, March 9, 2008 Sexy nun comics hit the shelves!
We've got some sexy new nun comics to announce. Thanks to one of our eagle-eyed visitors, we're happy to announce a new 3-issue limited series from Archaia Studios Press. The Sisterhood is about an order of nuns that exorcises demons by taking them inside of their bodies, holding them until death. When someone violently murders the nuns and releases the demons, Eden Parish is sent to find out who killed them and why.
On the lighter side, Shingo Hayabusa and Angel comics have teamed up to publish Hi Color -- a collection of hentai homages including a sexy Chrono Crusade parody!
Saturday, March 1, 2008 Devil of a mistake
It's gone as quickly as it had arrived.
Warner Home Video has removed the Devils artwork from their web site and called the announcement a mistake.
"There are absolutely no plans to put out The Devils in '08," said Warner Home Video publicity director Ronnee Sass.
Warner unleashes The Devils
March comes roaring in like a lion as we are elated to report that Warner Home Video has announced a May 20 release date for an uncut, official DVD of Ken Russell's The Devils.
The grandaddy of all nunsploitation films, The Devils sparked a host of imitators that created a golden age of nun exploitation movies.
No extra material has been announced yet, but plenty of extras have been made. The 'unofficial' DVD previously available to fans included Mark Kermode's "Hell on Earth" documentary. It's also been rumored that Ken Russell has already recorded his own audio commentary for the film.
We'll be bringing you the news as it comes to us and we'll be counting the days until May 20 is here!

The movie features a lot of names you may recognize from TV: Diane Foster (Iowa), Federico Castelluccio (Furio from The Sopranos), James McCaffrey (Rescue Me), and Karen Young (The Sopranos) as Sister Mary.

Sibling is tentatively scheduled for a 2009 release.
Sunday, February 17, 2008 Sacrilege gets March release
Sacrilege is a 1986 retelling of the true story of Sister Virginia De Leyva, the infamous nun of Monza. Sacrilege is one of the most torrid, sexually charged versions of the tale.
By coincidence, Coralina Cataldi Tassoni, who plays Sister Candida in the film, will be appearing at Texas Frightmare Weekend February 21 - 24 in Dallas, Texas! If you see her, be sure to tell her you're excited about being able to finally see Sacrilege on DVD!
Keep watching our Upcoming Movies section for the latest news in nunsploitation releases!
Friday, February 15, 2008 Belgian director to make new 'Singing Nun' movie
Belgian film maker Stijn Coninx is prepared to direct a new movie about the tragic life of Jeanine Deckers, the infamous 'singing nun' of the 1960s. Belgian actor Cecile is being eyed for the title role.
The story of Jeanine Deckers, also known as Soeur Sourire, is a sad and tragic one. After scoring a number one hit with her song "Dominique" Deckers left the convent and went on to live with her lesbian lover, Annie Pescher. Since she was a nun at the time of the recording, all of the money from "Dominique" was donated to the convent. The government later went after Deckers for back taxes on profits she never received. Deckers and Pescher eventually committed suicide in 1985.
Monday, February 11, 2008 Sexy fitness ads stir controversy
A series of ads commissioned by Equinox Fitness of Boston has riled conservatives after an ad featuring garter-wearing nuns in a nude figure drawing class appeared in this month's Boston Magazine.
But wait! Boston? Isn't that the archdiocese at the heart of the Catholic sex abuse scandal? Do they really have room to complain about something as inconsequential as a magazine ad?
Sunday, February 10, 2008 One Pound Gospel live action TV show
Now airing in Japan is a live-action, television-version of Rumiko Takahashi's manga, One Pound Gospel.
The show, (Ichi-Pound no Fukuin in Japan) stars pop-idol Kamenashi Kazuya as the gluttonous boxer Hatanaka and beautiful model-come-actor Kuroki Meisa as the kind-hearted Sister Angela.
We've managed to catch the first couple of episodes. Check out our review!
Saturday, January 25, 2008 Sister Emanuelle single release
Severin has announced the release of the movies in the Black Emanuelle box set as separate, individual DVDs!
Nunsploitation fans should be overjoyed to know that Sister Emanuelle will be available as a stand-alone DVD on April 29. Check out our review!
Friday, January 18, 2008 Flavia, the Heretic uncut in the UK
Following their November UK release of The Killer Nun, Shameless Screen Entertainment is now releasing, for the first time in the UK, an uncut DVD version of Flavia, the Heretic.
This 1974 nunsploitation film starring Florinda Bolkan is an atypical entry into the genre. The story is very serious and dramatic, putting it at odds with more lurid nunsploitation fare. At the same time, the excessive violence and gore and the wanton nudity and sex make it far more exploitative than the art film crowd is used to.
Flavia, the Heretic will hit the shelves January 28 in the UK. Check out our upcoming movies section for the latest nunsploitation releases!
Friday, January 11, 2008 Japanese nunsploitation reviews!
Coralina will be appearing at the Texas Frightmare Weekend February 21 - 24 in Dallas, Texas. Discount tickets are available from now until February 1 at which time door prices will go into effect.
It would definitely be worth going just to get the chance to meet one of the nuns of Monza! Sister Candida was always one of my favorites....
Saturday, January 5, 2008 Free anime previews
We've added some free preview clips for Dark Chapel and After Class Lesson. Now you can get a sneak peek at the rape of Sister Rosalia or at the Squid's harem of nuns!
Angel Core is a hentai anime title in which two feuding states are engaged in a bitter war, but one side has discovered a new weapon that may tip the balance -- the Angel Core. This amazing energy source is found in beautiful young girls, said to be descended from angels and it is nurtured through sex -- lots of it.
It doesn't matter if a couple of these girls happen to be nuns... It's a matter of doing your patriotic duty! Check out the review by Chris Beveridge and the downloadable movie trailer for Angel Core.
Special thanks to John W. at AnimeNation for bringing this title to our attention!
Thursday, January 3, 2008 Top Ten Nunsploitation events of 2007
As we look back on 2007, we focus on the top ten nunsploitation events of the year -- and what a year it was!
Devils director Ken Russell joined Big Brother, we saw two Joan Collins nunsploitation movies released on DVD, a new Nunsense musical, the opening of the Nunsense museum, and the production of two new nunsploitaiton movies -- NyMpha and Dirty Habit!!!!
Shot in high-contrast black and white, Mother Joan is the first cinematic portrayal of the Loudon story. A second, more controversial film was later made based on the same story -- Ken Russell's notorious 1977 film The Devils. The second movie set off a craze of nun exploitation movies in the '70s and established nunsploitation as a genre.
Although it did not feature the wanton nudity and gratuitous sexual perversity of The Devils, Mother Joan did feature some controversial anti-clerical elements. While Kawalerowicz would subtly critique authorities like the Catholic Church, the object of his criticism was more often Communism.
