An annual tradition here at Nunsploitation.Net, we recap the high points of 2006 as the year ends. What were the top nunsploitation events of the past 12 months?
Well, looking back, they were just weird! Paris Hilton cast as Mother Theresa??? What the?!? People in India threatened to kill themselves over an already-censored nunsploitation comedy? A nun reality TV series???
2006 was a weird one, and that's coming from a web site dedicated to nun fetishists!!!
Saturday, December 30, 2006 New Neighbors now available!
Not too long ago, we told you about a hot new nun porn film called The New Neighbors. Well, great news! DVD Empire has the DVD in stock, ready for your orders!
In the movie, a stuffy, conservative neighborhood is invaded by some promiscuous new neighbors who take the place to new depths of debauchery and perversion! Featuring Barbara Summer as a nasty nun!
Friday, December 29, 2006 Diana Rigg gets back in the habit!
Well, this is a bit embarrassing....
Here's an article that we wrote in November, but with the holiday hustle and bustle, we forgot to actually upload to the site....
Well, better late than never... The Painted Veil recently opened in theaters. While it's not a nunsploitation film, it does feature '60s and '70s superstar Diana Rigg as a nun! But is this the first time the sexy Avenger has taken on the veil and played the role of a nun? Not by a long shot! Check out the article.

Halfway House's Joseph Tatner speaks out on spanking!
In the interview, Noe asks Tatner (a practicing Catholic and a former seminarian) what it was like to play a naughty priest who spanks the bare bottoms of the girls he's in charge of.
Sunday, December 17, 2006 Doubt gets big screen adaptation
According to Variety John Patrick Shanly's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Doubt has been picked up by Miramax for a big-screen adaptation.
The play features a tough nun who struggles with prospect of going public with her suspicions that her colleague, a priest she works with at a Bronx Catholic school, is sexually abusing students.
Should she come forward even though she herself has doubts about the claim?
The movie is scheduled to begin filming in Fall 2007.
Wednesday, December 13, 2006 Heaven Knows Palo Alto, California

Check your local listings for details, but in the Eastern Zone, it should be playing 10 p.m. today (Tuesday), 10 p.m. Thursday and midnight Dec. 11 (which would be the night of the 10th).
Do I have to summarize the film again? Chloe Sevigny plays a naughty nun. Not as naughty as she was in The Brown Bunny, but naughty. I probably shouldn't make light of it. It's a serious movie about AIDS....
Saturday, December 2, 2006 Naughty Nun Image Gallery updated
Visitors will be pleased to hear that we've managed to add Forty New Albums of nunerotica images thanks to our sponsors at Nun Whores!
So what are you waiting for? There are hundreds of naked nuns waiting to be downloaded!
Friday, December 1, 2006 Ken Russell's Devils in stock again!
I know a lot of you have been looking forward to watching Ken Russell's The Devils, but you may have had a hard time ordering it. Our sponsor, HK Flix informs us that they even had to cancel some orders because they ran out of copies.
This DVD offered from HK Flix is 108 minutes long and it includes the oft-deleted "Rape of Christ" scene which was cut from the Warner Bros. VHS rleease. This is probably as close to uncut as we'll ever see.
Movies back online
Our Naughty Nun Theater is back online! Our apologies, we had to close the theater temporarily to ensure the site would remain online for the last day or two of the month.
Traffic to the site has been explosive. We're happy to introduce our new visitors to the world of nunsploitation, but we only have so much bandwidth to go around.
Tuesday, November 28, 2006 Theater temporarily closed
Traffic on Nunsploitation.Net was unusually high this month. We actually set a few site records. Unfortunately, we're coming close to our bandwidth cap. As a precaution, we're going to close the Naughty Nun Theater for the next two days. You'll still have access to the free hardcore movie clips hosted by our sponsors. But the movie trailers and most of the commercials will be offline.
It's just a precaution to keep the rest of the site from being shut down. The movies will be back up December 1. Maybe even a bit sooner.
Tuesday, November 21, 2006 New releases hit the stores!
Tuesday is upon us and that means new nunsploitation DVDs are on store shelves! Check out Code Red's long-awaited Devil Times Five DVD! It's jam-packed with special features!

Sunday, November 19, 2006 Fellini's Casanova available
The passions of the World's Greatest Lover, Giacomo Casanova, know no bounds -- not even the walls the of the nunnery!
Federico Fellini's 1976 classic starring Donald Sutherland is now available in a 2-disc set from HK Flix. Special thanks go out to Graeme Clark at The Spinning Image for writing his review of this film.
Mother Joan reviewed
In addition to Rod Zombie'sreview of Ken Russell's The Devils, we're happy to be able to offer to our readers a review of Mother Joan of the Angels. This 1967 film pre-dates The Devils and it's based on the same real-life incident that inspired Ken Russell's more infamous movie.
If you get the chance to watch them both, it would make a great double-feature.
Saturday, November 18, 2006 NyMpha features haunted convent with a tortured past
Director Ivan Zuccon is hard at work on his latest film Nympha, the story of a young girl who joins a convent with rules so strict, they border on torture.
As if the gruelling initiation weren't enough, the convent is haunted by a dark and violent past.
Nympha is still in production, but according to Fangoria, it is on schedule for a February completion.
Thursday, November 16, 2006 Wild Japan features Holy Beast

Wednesday, November 15, 2006 Anne Hathaway considered the convent
Devil Wears Prada actor Anne Hathaway joins the ranks of sexy stars who once considered entering the convent.
Raised Catholic, Hathaway told The Sun: "I grew up studying classic painters. They certainly didn't shy away from nudes. I don't find anything morally reprehensible about it."
As an actor, she has since become known for her raunchy roles including a topless scene in Brokeback Mountain and a nude scene in Havoc.
Tuesday, November 14, 2006 Horny nuns replenish the Convent Library

Monday, November 13, 2006 Hentai Anime Nuns ready for download!

French director Jacques Rivette's film adaptation of Denis Diderot's La Religieuse (AKA: The Nun) is scheduled for a screening Saturday, November 18 at the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York as part of a weeklong Rivette retrospective.
This movie, formerly available from Movies Unlimited, is now out of print and difficult to find. If you are able to attend, do not miss out on this opportunity to see this film.
Dark Waters, Devils trailers available
We now have downloadable movie trailers available for Mariano Baino's Dark Waters and Ken Russell's The Devils.
If you're interested in the 2-disc set for Dark Waters, you should order it as soon as possible. This set is limited to only 3,000 pieces. Once they're gone, they're gone.
In addition to extra features, the 2-disc set comes with a replica of the stone amulet from the movie! Neat!
Friday, November 10, 2006 The Devils & Joy of Torture reviewed
We've got two new movie reviews for you today and a new movie reviewer! Rod Zombie has dutifully watched and reviewed the movie that started the genre, Ken Russell's The Devils. Even after all this time, it still holds up as a classic film in world cinema.
Also on Rod's plate is Shogun's Joy of Torture, now available on DVD from HK Flix. And to answer that question that's forming in your twisted minds, no, the film was not torture to watch! But don't take my word for it, read Rod's review!
Roger T. Pipe reviews New Neighbors
Some new neighbors have moved in and they promise to shake up the stagnant sex life of this stuffy, conservative neighborhood.
Thanks once again to Roger for his contribution to the site!
3 Needles gets limited screening
Thom Fitzgerald's AIDS film 3 Needles is scheduled for a limited release December 1 in major North American cities. The exact cities and theaters have yet to be announced.
The release coincides with World AIDS Day. As such, the filmmakers have pledged to donate $0.10 to AIDS charities for every friend on the 3 Needles MySpace page they receive between now and December 1.
In the film, Chloe Sevigny portrays a nun in AIDS stricken Africa who finds herself in a compromising situation when she is torn between her mission, saving souls, and a more earthly duty -- saving lives.
Thursday, November 9, 2006 Back online!
We seem to have most of our problems licked. The bulk of our files and programs have been restored from back-ups, but you don't want to hear all that boring stuff! You want to know what's going on in the world of naughty nuns!
Devil Times Five scheduled for November 21!
Code Red DVD has finalized a November 21 release date for Devil Times Five, but you can pre-order now!
This DVD is jam-packed with special features including cast and crew commentaries, interviews, a photo gallery and the original trailer! There's tons of goodies on this DVD! It's sure to be worth your while!
Nacho Libre is now available on DVD. While it's not quite as sleazy as the fare usually featured here, there's no way we could ignore the heavenly Ana de la Reguera who plays Sister Encarnacion -- Jack Black's forbidden love interest.
Wrestling, comedy and a sexy nun -- who could resist that combination?
Friday, August 18, 2006 Satanic, Nazi, Vampire Nuns
Here's an update on the Let Us Pray Nunsploitation box set from Salvation Films!
Salvation has confirmed the movie line up will be what we announced yesterday (see below). In addition, the set will include the Salvation Films/Channel 4 documentary "Satanic, Nazi, Vampire Nuns" featuring Sacred Flesh director Nigel Wingrove. The box set will also come with a collection of satanic nun postcards!
Thursday, August 17, 2006 Let Us Pray
Sorry for the lack of updates around here recently. We're having some computer problems. We hope to get them resolved soon.
Well, in spite of our troubles, we just had to get this news item out here. Salvation Films has announced that their long-awaited Let Us Pray Nunsploitation DVD box set is officially a go!
The set is scheduled for a November 14 release date. At this point, we're guessing this is a U.K.-only release, but we hope to get more official details soon.
Wednesday, July 25, 2006 Watch out for Fallen Angels
There's a new horror film in the works that fans of nunsploitation might want to keep an eye on. It's called Fallen Angels.
While it's disappointing that the movie has no nuns, there is plenty of religious wackiness. For example, the demons in the movie are living embodiments of the seven deadly sins -- a theme used in last year's The Nun.
And, although she's no nun, wrestling diva Christie Hemme looks positively delicious (and a bit nun-like at times) playing the demon Lust.
The movie is still in production, but we'll be sure to report a release date as soon as we have one.
Thursday, July 20, 2006 Devil Times Five slated for November
Code Red DVD has set a November 21 release date for Devil Times Five.
Fully restored from original negatives, the movie will be presented in 16X9 letterbox format. Special features include cast & crew commentary, interviews, and more!
More details to follow.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 Singing Nun story part of NY fest
Among the fourteen musicals invited to take part in this year's New York Musical Theatre Festival is The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun.
Told through the eyes of a nun named Sister Coco Callmeishmael, the musical recounts Grammy-winning nun Jeannine Decker's skyrocketing rise to fame and her tragic descent as she was plagued by both failure in the music business and financial problems that led to her untimely death by suicide in 1985.
Wednesday, July 12, 2006 Chloe Sevigny attends film fest
Thom Fitzgerald's 3 Needles is scheduled for a screenings July 15 and 16 at the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
Star Chloe Sevigny will be present to introduce the screenings at the Prince (1412 Chestunut). She'll also be onhand for a Q&A session after the film.
Dark Waters Special Edition
Noshame Films has made it clear that when it comes to their upcoming DVD release of Mariano Baino's Dark Waters, they're not fooling around.
Noshame plans on releasing a special limited edition of the film, and they mean it when they say "limited". The set will be restricted to just 3,000 pieces. It includes a 48-page booklet and a replica Stone Amulet.
Special features include audio commentary by writer/director Mariano Baino, director's intro, deleted scenes, "making of" featurette, blooper reel, and photo gallery.
But wait, there's more...
A second disc includes four short films by Mariano Baino.
Dark Waters is scheduled for a September 26 release. We will post pre-order information when it becomes available.
Saturday, June 24, 2006 Nunsploitation TV Schedule
There's more great nunsploitation programming heading your way. Check this out:
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will be showing Black Narcissus again on Sunday at 6 p.m. then at 9 p.m. The Magdalene Sisters will be showing on the Independent Film Channel (IFC).
On Monday, FLIX gives you two chances to catch Agnes of God. There's an early showing at 6 a.m. and an afternoon showing at 2:45.
There's plenty more nunsploitation television scheduled for July. At midnight, July 1 The Sundance Channel will show Fellini's Casanova. Note: that's midnight July 1 which means you'll have to stay up the night of the 31st to catch it.
And finally, I guess someone really wants us to see Agnes of God because it's on Encore again July 5 at 8 a.m. and 4:40 p.m.
All times are Eastern, but be sure to check your local listings to confirm the time and details.
Monday, June 12, 2006 Nun reality show
Survivor this ain't.
It was only a matter of time before the reality TV craze hit the cloister. This is no joke. The Convent is a new reality series that takes four lay women and puts them behind convent walls.
A 44-year-old children's entertainer from Scotland, a 25 year-old singer/songwriter from London, an ex-cop, and a 33-year-old poet have volunteered to spend 40 days and 40 nights as nuns in the Convent of the Poor Clares.
"We took courage and thought that perhaps this might be a wonderful opportunity to dispel the myths and stereotypes about convent life," said Mother Abbess Angela Lyden.
Wait a minute... does she mean not everything in these movies is true? The topless flagellation? Manic muff-diving? Masturbation with any rigid object on hand?
I guess we'll have to watch the show to find out what's real and what's fiction....
The Convent premieres Wednesday, June 14 at 9 p.m. on BBC2.
Devil Times Five commentary complete
Code Red DVD has announced that they have completed the audio commentary for their DVD release of Devil Times Five.
Film historian Darren Gross was recruited to moderate the commentary with Devil Times Five producer Mickey Blowitz, co-director David Sheldon, and stars Joan McCall and Dawn Lynn.
More features are planned, but it looks like this movie is on schedule to be released some time this year.
Sunday, June 11, 2006 Nunsploitation TV Schedule All times are Eastern
There's a ton of more nunsploitation programming scheduled in the next two weeks.
The Sundance Channel starts us off with another showing of Fellini's Casanova 3:25 a.m. EST on Tuesday.
Encore is showing Agnes of God at 10:45 a.m. and 10:20 p.m. also on Tuesday. The movie will also be on FLIX at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday.

For next week, Agnes of God is showing again on Encore at 8:45 a.m. June 18 and 12:20 a.m. June 19. (Note that it's 12:20 AM).
American Movie Classics (AMC) is scheduled to show Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison at 8:45 a.m. June 21 and finally, The Sundance Channel has Fellini's Casanova scheduled again at 11:45 p.m. June 21.
All times are Eastern. Check your local listings to confirm.
Wednesday, June 7, 2006 More Flying Nun in August!
We know deep in our hearts, there's only one reason anyone comes to visit this web site. It's to find out when the next Flying Nun DVD is coming out!
Well, hang on to your habits, Sony (ironically, the studio behind The Da Vinci Code) has announced an August 15 release date for The Flying Nun, Season 2 but you don't have to wait that long! DVD Empire is taking preorders now!
6/6/06 Happy 666 Day!
Happy 666 Day, everyone! We didn't really plan on it, but as it turns out, we do have something to share with you on this diabolical occasion....
It turns out that the number 666 has turned up an inordinate number of times during our maintenance of Nunsploitation.Net. Check out our 666 encounters.
Monday, June 5, 2006 Police charge film makers over naughty nun movie
This story refuses to end.
The producers of the Bollywood nunsploitation comedy Tickle My Funny Bone, have been charged with violating the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
The Social Service Branch of the Mumbai police has registered a criminal case against the producers for their portrayal of nuns and women. The police have also filed charges under Section 295 (A) of the IPC for offending religious sentiments.
Strangely enough, no charges have been filed against Sony over The Da Vinci Code. I guess the cops in India only go after small, low-budget film makers and not major motion picture studios.
In other Bollywood news, Sacred Evil opened Sunday without incident, although reviews so far have been lukewarm.
Faith's Fantasies reviewed
We've got a review up for Tyler Faith's new hardcore DVD Faith's Fantasies. In one of Tyler's erotic daydreams, Nicole Sheridan plays a bitchin' nun who takes charge with a strapon!
Our thanks go out to Rog's Reviews for his generous contribution to our site.
Now, in addition to Roger's review, we've also got a trailer available for download. So you can actually see Nicole Sheridan in all her glory! Check it out!
Friday, June 2, 2006 Susie Porter wants to play a nun next
Australian actor Susie Porter, known for her sexy roles in films like Better Than Sex, says that she would love to play a nun next.
Thursday, June 1, 2006 Sacred Evil still offensive
After a court-ordered screening of the new Indian film Sacred Evil, the Catholic Secular Forum still finds the movie offensive. In addition to their ridiculous charge that the movie poster (at left) implies that the crucifix is a "sacred evil", the CSF is now offended by a love song in a church, nuns interacting with wiccans, the implication that there may be evil in convents and the idea that some Catholics are drunkards or jobless.
I am NOT making this up. They want the movie banned.
Furthermore, they don't believe it's based on a true story and want signed affidavits from the individuals involved -- even though Ipsita Ray Chakraverti herself supervised the adaptation of her account and the nun involved gave her consent for the movie to be made.
The Bombay High Court has asked for a response from the Censor Board. Sacred Evil is scheduled to open Friday in India.
I hope the rest of the world looks to India and see what a mess they've got over there before anyone gets the idea that movie censorship is a good thing. What a joke.
Wednesday, May 31, 2006 New theater debuts
We've remodelled our Naughty Nun Theater to make it easier for our visitors to find movie trailers and other downloadable videos on the site.
We've also added a number of new, sexy and funny clips featuring naughty nuns.
As always, our downloads are offered for free, so check them out!
Tuesday, May 30, 2006 Judge orders protestors to watch movie BEFORE getting offended
A lawyer for the Catholic Secular Forum filed a petition against the film based on movie posters and advertisments. Before making any ruling, the judge told the CSF to actually watch the movie before complaining about it.
In a similar action last month, the Censor Board testified in favor of Tickle My Funny Bone stating that there were no objectionable scenes in the movie because they had already been censored. Despite this, protest groups threatened to kill themselves over the screening of the film and as a result, the censor board completely gutted the movie, removing all religious references.
The CSF is expected to return to court June 1 after actually watching the movie.
Sacred Evil is based on a true story about wiccan psychotherapist Ipsita Roy Chakraverti who is called upon to treat a nun thought to be possessed by a ghost from her past. The nun on whom the story is based has already given her consent for the film to be made.
Monday, May 29, 2006 Viridiana reviewed!
New releases means new reviews (usually!) Check out Michael Jacobson'sreview of the Criterion release of Luis Buñuel's irreverent classic Viridiana. A novice nun and a lecherous uncle make for a bad combination in this 1961 tale of depravity that was banned in Spain and Italy.
Nunsploitation.Net extends its thanks to DVD Movie Central for giving us permission to run this review.
Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Two new DVD releases!
Today we see the DVD release of two more nunsploitation movies. Criterion gives Luis Buñuel's Viridiana their usual meticulous treatment.
Also available from Fox is the World War II film Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison. In the movie, a soldier and a nun find themselves stranded on an island occupied by Japanese troops. Deborah Kerr dons the habit again for this picture (having previously portrayed a nun in Black Narcissus also on DVD from Criterion.)
Sunday, May 21, 2006 Halfway to Burbank
Nunsploitation fans should head over to Burbank, Calif. for Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors June 2 through 4 at the Burbank Hilton!
Halfway House director Kenneth J. Hall will be there selling The Halfway House DVD and giving away free posters with each purchase.
Halfway House stars Janet Tracy Keijser, Athena Demos and Tommi X will be there to sign autographs!
I don't know about you, but I'd walk to California for a chance to meet Athena Demos! Tickets are still available!
Saturday, May 20, 2006 MORE Bandwidth!
We've just completed a site-wide upgrade that has more than doubled our bandwidth. There may be a few bugs in the system. Please help us. If you come across any broken links or bad images, contact us.
What does this mean to you? With extra bandwidth, we are able to offer more image galleries with bigger pictures, as well as more downloadable goodies. Best of all, we can bring back the nunsploitation movie trailers.
I'm sure you've noticed that for months now, all of the movie trailers have been disabled. We've reactivated them and they should all be working.
In addition, we've added FIFTY new Desktop Wallpapers featuring naughty nuns.
Image galleries! Movie trailers! Wallpapers! What are you waiting for? Get downloading!
Sunday, May 14, 2006 Sad ending for the "Bold and Sexy Nun"
"The story of a naughty, bold and sexy nun" has come to a sad end. Protestors have won in the battle over the Hinglish sex comedy Tickle My Funny Bone.
After the Catholic Secular Forum threatened to stage a fatal hunger strike, India's Censor Board has agreed to remove all religious imagery from the film, including all scenes with nuns. Read the sad, sorry censorship details.
Thursday, May 11, 2006 Now, they're going on hunger strikes...
The new Bollywood sex comedy Tickle My Funny Bone is stirring up an unbelievable amount of controversy. Even after being heavily censored, the the film has drawn potests, demands for it to be banned, complaints to the police that the director should be arrested and now groups are planning hunger strikes!
All this over an innocent sexy comedy that just happens to feature a novice nun.
Well, we're keeping score, check out the details surrounding the protests.
Friday, May 5, 2006 Court allows film to hit theaters
Petitioners sought to ban Bollywood nunsploitation film Tickle My Funny Bone from theaters and have all posters, DVDs and promotional materials destroyed.
They objected to the tag line "story of a naughty nun" and called the movie "derogatory toward nuns".
Ironically, India's Central Board of Film Certification came to the movie's defense stating that they had already censored all objectionable parts to the movie and there was no reason for it to be witheld from public viewing.
The Bombay High Court opted to take no action against the film and instead, adjourned the proceedings until June. This stay of action will allow Tickle My Funny Bone to be shown in theaters later this month as planned.
Wednesday, May 3, 2006 Mother Joan on DVD
We hate to admit we missed something... but we did. Polart Distribution has released Mother Joan of the Angels on DVD in North America on April 25 -- right under our noses!
The DVD features the original Polish-language soundtrack with English subtitles, cast & crew biographies and an image gallery. It's available right now from DVD Empire.
Mother Joan of the Angels is based on the same real-life incident that inspired Ken Russell's The Devils. However, Polish director Jerzy Kawalerowicz has a completely different perspective on the subject. Watching the two films together would make for an entertaining and thought-provoking double feature.
Tuesday, May 2, 2006 Naughty Nun film not funny to censors
An Indian nunsploitation movie is stirring up controversy. The film, Tickle My Funny Bone (the name was changed from The Naughty Nun at the prompting of India's movie censors, the Central Board of Film Certification) features all the classic nunsploitation staples.
A novice nun falls in love and wants to leave the order. Her attempts to flee the convent result in hillarious situations.
Even though the name of the movie was changed, the CBFC objected to the tag line on promotional posters "a naughty, bold and sexy nun". The CBFC has no jurisdiction over posters, but they threatened to withdraw their approval anyway.
Supposedly, the most objectionable scene (which made it past censors) features the novice, partially nude, in the arms of her lover with the crucifix in the background.
The All India Christian Council have urged the Mumbai police to take action against the movie's producer. In spite of this, film makers show no sign of backing down.
"Every one has different viewpoints. My thinking may not be similar to them. They think it is a controversial issue. I have made a film, which is a comedy. I did not make it raise a problem in the censor board," says Kumar.
Tickle My Funny Bone is scheduled to be released in theaters in India later this month.
Monday, May 1, 2006 Nunsploitation TV schedule (all times are Eastern)

Thursday, April 27, 2006 3 Needles takes a beating
3 Needles took a beating at the Canadian box office this weekend. Thom Fitzgerald's AIDS film took in only $374 at its one Toronto screen and $1,560 at its Vancouver screener.
Distributor Seville Pictures blamed the poor showing on bad reviews in the Toronto press.
3 Needles is expected to open nationwide May 8.
Asphalt Beach finally hits the stage
The long-delayed, long-awaited Asphalt Beach is finally up for public review! Originally announced as a movie musical starring Parker Posey and Kristen Chenoweth, filming was delayed in 2005 and then again this year until finally Kristen Chenoweth could no long fit it into her schedule.
Now it appears that Asphalt Beach is back, but as a stage musical rather than a movie. It's the story of two wayward teens on the opposite ends of the social spectrum in an all-girls Catholic school (Our Lady of Suppressed Desire Academy for Rambunctious Girls). They learn to put aside their differences when confronted by an authoritarian nun, Sister Severia!
Asphalt Beach is part of TheatreWorks 2006 New Works Festival and will be showing April 30 through May 4 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, Mountain View, Calif.
Tickets are available online or by calling 650 903-6000.

Saturday, April 22, 2006 Oni Tensei and Il Confessionale reviewed
Fans who prefer hardcore porn to exploitation will enjoy the two new reviews we have today. However, don't underestimate these movies. The sex may be graphic, but they're driven by surprisingly strong stories and characters.
First we review Mario Salieri'sIl Confessionale -- the story of a priest who is seduced by lust and abuses the sanctity of the confessionale and his influence as a pastor for his own sexual gratification.
Also check out Oni Tensei, a hardcore anime film about a demon with a penchant for rape!

Thursday, April 20, 2006 3 Needles screens at DC Fest
Thom Fitzgerald and Olympia Dukakis will be onhand for a screening of 3 Needles at the DC Filmfest April 27 at the Embassy of Canada.
Unfortunately, the April 27 screening is sold out, but there is a second screening 7 p.m. April 28 at the Avalon Theatre.
In the movie, Chloe Sevigny plays a nun who finds herself in a compromising situation when she is sent to Africa to proselytize dying AIDS victims.
Monday, April 17, 2006 Kate Moss a nun?!?
Notoriously skinny supermodel, Kate Moss, recently compared her sex life to the cloister. "I'm a nun now - I'm not getting any," Moss was overheard saying at a New York photoshoot.
She'd probably feel really bad if she knew about the healthy sex lives lead by some of the 'nuns' featured here.
So, now that Kate feels like a nun, what are the chances she'll dress like one? We can only hope....
Friday, April 14, 2006 3 Needles screens in Palm Desert
The festival runs from April 20 to April 23. 3 Needles is scheduled for the final day of the fest at 4 p.m.
The film features Chloe Sevigny as a nun sent to Africa to proselytize dying AIDS victims. In her effort to help the sick and dying, she finds herself in a compromising situation with unsavory individuals.
Monday, April 3, 2006 New DVD Player for foreign film fans!
So, let's say you really hate that pesky FBI warning that shows up at the beginning of every nunsploitation DVD movie you watch. You can't skip through it, right? You're forced to sit there and wait for it to scroll by.
There's no such thing as forced trailers with the Helios HVD-2085. You can skip trailers, FBI warnings -- everything! It puts the remote control back in your hand. Of course, the Helios HVD-2085 is multi-regional, allowing you to watch nunsploitation DVDs from anywhere in the world. It does PAL-NTSC conversion making it great for watching European movies. It even converts voltage! Plug it in anywhere!
Saturday, April 1, 2006 Two new reviews
We've got two new movie reviews ready for you today. For starters, check out the Italian political sex comedy The Senator Likes Women. This movie works on all levels. It's funny, sexy and it serves up a biting political critique that holds true even today. If you're not into politics, you'll enjoy it for the sexy Laura Antonelli.
We also review French auteur Jean Rollin's Fiancée of Dracula. Find out what happens when an order of nuns tries to hold Dracula's lover hostage in her own estate!
Thursday, March 30, 2006 Convent of Sinners available for pre-order
The long awaited North American DVD release for Joe D'Amato's Convent of Sinners is drawing nearer. DVD Empire is now taking preorders for the movie, scheduled for official release on April 25!
The film is often compared to D'Amato's Images in a Convent also released by the same studio last year.
Saturday, March 20, 2006 What are they wearing?
So you're watching your favorite nunsploitation film and you're slowly undressing the nuns in your mind... but wait a minute... what the heck are they wearing???
We've put together a handy little guide that details nun clothing and fashion so you can figure out what exactly she's got on... before she takes it off!

Thursday, March 2, 2006 Wolfe Releasing picks up 3 Needles
Wolfe Releasing has picked up the distribution rights to Thom Fitzgerald's AIDS movie 3 Needles and is now offering the film to festivals for booking.
The movie is split into three segments showing how different people in different parts of the world react to AIDS. In one segment, Chloe Sevigny portrays a nun, Sister Clara who is sent to Africa to convert dying AIDS victims. Her inexperience and compassion place her in a compromising position.
Wednesday, March 1, 2006 Sinful Nuns star Jenny Tamburi dies at age 53
Very sad news everyone.
Exploitation fans may remember her from such films as Women of Cell Block 7 and La Seduzione.
With the loss of director Walerian Borowczyk last month, this is indeed a sad time for nunsploitation fans.
Tuesday, February 28, 2006 Belgium fest features nunsploitation films!
Nunsploitation fans will converge on Belgium next month for the Brussells International Festival of Fantastic Films.
The fest, running from March 10 through March 24, will feature a retrospective on religion and nunsploitation in film called "Oh My God!"
British actress Lynsey Pow has been tapped to play the role of Claudia for the Indian film Sacred Evil based on the book by Ipsita Roy Chakraverti.
Based on a true account, Pow plays a nun haunted by a murky past. The convent sends her for counseling and eventually enlists the aid of a wiccan psychotherapist (Ipsita herself played by Sarika in this film).
Friday, February 24, 2006 Warners makes public statement on Ken Russell's The Devils
Officials from Warners recently made a public statement about their plans for the founding film of the Nunsploitation genre, Ken Russell's The Devils.
In an online chat at the Home Theater Forum, Warners stated "plans for THE DEVILS still have not been fully solidified yet, but it's been under discussion."
Also recently, Mark Kermode of Channel 4 announced that Warners had acquired their "Hell on Earth" documentary on the film for a 2006 DVD release.
So far all signs point to yes, but as always, it's a wait-and-see game with these guys.
Thursday, February 23, 2006 New nunsploitation movie reviews!
Two new movie reviews for you today.
They don't get any more wacky than this gem from Japan. We review Wet Rope Confession, one of the wildest, most perverse films we've come across in a while.
Vince Brusio reviews Images in a Convent, one of the most explicit, sleaziest convent films ever made. Vince is right up his alley with this one.
Wednesday, February 22, 2006 NoShame reveals Dark Waters details
NoShame Films has released some additional details on this year's scheduled DVD release for Mariano Baino's Dark Waters.
The DVD has been scheduled for release this summer, though it's too early to nail down a specific date. The transfer is complete and they are working on the extras, including an interview with Baino.
Baino himself supervised the transfer and is involved in the production of the extra features.
Keep your eyes on our Upcoming Films section for the latest nunsploitation releases!
Casanova gets April release
Buena Vista has set an April 25 release date for Casanova. Though not really a nunsploitation film, the events in the story are set in motion when Casanova is caught knocking boots with a novice nun and catches the attention of the Inquisition -- a classic nunsploitation scenario!
If we're lucky, this release may attract enough interest to warrant a North American DVD release for Fellini's Casanova (starring Donald Sutherland). The movie has already been released in the U.K.
Tuesday, February 21, 2006 Release date set for The Nun
Lions Gate has set an April 25 DVD release date for the Brian Yuzna-produced nun horror film aptly titled The Nun.
So far, the DVD is set to include a "making of" documentary and trailer. Vendors report an English language track with Spanish subtitles, though some accounts conflict.
The Nun represents the most recent and biggest effort in the genre since Peter Mullan's The Magdalene Sisters in 2002.
Monday, February 20, 2006 The movies are back! ... sort of
We're very pleased to announce that after a long hiatus, the Naughty Nun Theater is back online!
One of the most popular parts of the site, it was also the most troublesome. The massive bandwidth required to host movies caused the site to shut down on more than one occasion.
The theater is a bit different this time around. Sadly, we still do not have the bandwidth to host movie trailers, but we have found a sponsor who hosts something a bit more explicit ... samples of nunerotica!
If you're into nun porn, head over to the Theater and check out some of the naughty nun downloads available!
Thursday, February 16, 2006 The Magdalene Sisters on IFC
Nunsploitation fans can catch Peter Mullan's lurid prison exposé The Magdalene Sisters on cable's IFC this weekend.
The movie is scheduled to air at 10:15 p.m. EST Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday with encore presentations at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28 and 2:45 a.m. Wednesday, March 1.
Monday, February 13, 2006 Paris Hilton as ... Mother Theresa???
This is bizarre... even for us.
Gossip tabloid The Sun reported that Indian film director T Rajeevnath wants Paris Hilton to play recently sainted Mother Theresa in a film about the nun's life.
Rajeevnath explained this bizarre casting decision in saying he was inspired by Hilton's refusal to pose for Playboy. He then made this quizzical statment: "The history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analysed thoroughly before she is chosen."
What rock is this guy smoking? Did he miss out on the candid homemade porn One Night in Paris?
Our guess is this is a publicity stunt. All you have to do is watch one episode of The Simple Life to realize this rich bitch ain't no saint.
Wednesday, February 8, 2006 Erotica update!
We've got a big update for you today. Not only did we add eight new titles to our nunerotica section, but we've also added some new content, reviews, pictures, articles, and ...well... all kinds of goodies!
To start you off, take a trip into the past back to the Golden Age of Porn. It was the '70s. Porn was playing in movie theaters and being filmed with on sizeable budgets. Pornstars could actually act (well, sort of) and the sex revolved around events in the film ... you know -- the story! Just as they did in mainstream cinema, nuns made their appearances in porn. Check out these titles:
Autobiography of a Flea
Captain Lust & the Pirate Women
Coed Fever
Nightshift Nurses
Sleepy Head
Fast forward to today and nuns are still showing up in porn ... you just have to skip across the pond to catch the action. Check out the naughty nuns in these Eurotica titles we just added to the database:
German Fetish
Lead Us Not Into Temptation
Santa Perversa
Scheinheiligen
Sunder vom Teufel
Sunday, February 5, 2006 Author Marie LeClare graces Convent Library

An ambitious film maker travels to an uncharted island only to find restless natives, stampeding dinosaurs and a giant, love sick gorilla!
What the heck does this have to do with nunsploitaiton? Everything!
Criterion has pushed back the release of Luis Buñuel's controversial Viridiana to May.
The good news is Criterian has secured an interview with star Silvia Pinal. This last-minute addition is the source of the delay.
You can keep up to date on this and other future nunsploitation releases by visiting our Upcoming Movies section.
Saturday, January 21, 2006 Catholic Ghoulgirls packing in Indy compilation
Pendulum Pictures has picked up Catholic Ghoulgirls for inclusion in a 5-movie DVD set.
The 2-DVD compilation, Fatal Femmes, is set for a February 7 release date.
Catholic Ghoulgirls is about a group of Catholic schoolgirls who fight off a zombie invasion. It features gun-toting nuns Sisters Mary Kate and Ashley!
Thursday, January 12, 2006 The Devils uncut in 2006???
Mark Kermode of Channel 4 made this promising statement in a recent editorial:
"On the subject of which, I leave you with notice that 2006 will also be the year in which Ken Russell' fiery masterpiece The Devils is finally released in its uncut form, a full 35 years after censors and distributors conspired to slash it to ribbons. The forthcoming 'Directors Cut' DVD comes complete with a newly extended version of the Channel 4 documentary 'Hell On Earth' - which is obviously a reason for celebration and delight!"
Keep in mind, Warner has been promising this release for years and for years they have been sitting on it. As always, it's a wait-and-see game. It looks promising, but don't bet the rent money.
Monday, January 9, 2006 Sister Bertrille Flying onto DVD
At last! Sony has announced a March 21 release date for the complete first season of The Flying Nun on DVD!
The show ran for three seasons from 1967 to 1970. Sony's 30-episode, 4-DVD set will include a featurette "A Look Back at the Flying Nun" featuring an interview with Sally Field!
Wednesday, January 4, 2006 Convent of Sinners release date set
Media Blasters has scheduled an April 26 release date for a region 1 North American DVD of Joe D'Amato's Convent of Sinners. Legendary sleaze-master D'Amato has been responsible for such nunsploitation classics as Sister Emanuelle and, touted as the most explicit nunsploitation film ever made, Images in a Convent.
Sunday, January 1, 2006 New Year changes to Nunsploitation.Net
We're making a couple of changes to Nunsploitation.Net for the new year.
We have a very strict policy on advertising. We don't want ads to be intrusive or distracting. So we avoid animated ads, flash animation, and above all -- pop-up ads. We have a very strong policy against pop-up advertising. Imagine our surprise when pop ups began appearing on Nunsploitation.Net, even when archival copies of the site were accessed from a hard drive! It turns out one of the services we use to track web traffic has taken advantage of its customers and has deceptively used their tracking code to install pop-ups.
As a result, we are dropping Web Stat (formerly Ned Stat) and we are going with Extreme Tracking as our web counter. We sincerely apologize to our visitors for having to endure pop-up advertisting on this site. Those ads in no way benefitted Nunsploitation.Net. We hated them as much as you did.
Secondly, we are sad to say that due to abuse of our services, we were forced to shut down for the last few days of 2005. Some unscrupulous individuals hotlinked to our nunsploitation movie trailers, sucking up three days' worth of bandwidth in a matter of hours. By the time we caught it, it was too late.
As a sad consequence, we are forced to discontinue offering movie trailers for download until our next scheduled bandwidth upgrade, May 2006. We are very sorry about this. We love our movie trailers and we went to great lengths to secure the bandwidth to offer them to our visitors. Hopefully, they'll be back soon.
Thanks for visiting. We hope you enjoy Nunsploitation.Net
