Your Mistress has arrived...

Nunsploitation.Net is proud to announce the addition of a new reviewer to our lineup of naughty nun gurus. Through flattery, bribery and all manner of death threats, we have managed to coerce none other than Tenebrous Kate into becoming an official Nunsploitation.Net movie reviewer. If you're already a fan of the tenebrous one, then you certainly recognize her from her blog The Love Train for the Tenebrous Empire. We officially declare Tenebrous Kate an expert in all things Eurosleeze, having written scores of exploitation movie reviews and contributed regularly to the pages of Ultra Violent Magazine. So sit back and enjoy her reviews of Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun, Sister Emanuelle, The Monk, and The Fiancée of Dracula and keep watching this space for more glimpses of the fruit of the Tenebrous Empire!

Natalie Portman refuses nun roles... as long as they're celibate

We're not sure if this is a plus for nunsploitation fans or not.... Natalie Portman of Star Wars fame was reportedly offered the role of Sister James in John Patrick Shanley's movie version of Doubt. However Portman ultimately refused the role because... well, because the nuns were celibate. "We asked Natalie Portman, and Natalie was very interested but kept saying she had a problem," writer/director Shanley told the blog Gossip Sauce. "We finally nailed down as to what the problem was. She basically said she didn't understand celibacy." So... we missed out on seeing Natalie Portman as a nun, but does this mean she'll accept a non-celibate nun role? Because, you know, there's plenty of them in the world of nunsploitaiton!

Calling all Pervertz!

Tanya Hyde continues to push the envelope as she delivers another sizzling, sacriligious venture into the realm of nunerotica with Pervertz! This movie is hot, hot, hot! It features a latex-clad nun masturbating on a toilet with a gigantic dildoe. Later, she gets down on her knees to confess only to discover the confessional comes fully equipped with a glory hole (and we do mean fully equipped). Check out the downloadable Quicktime trailer. Pervertz! is available on DVD from our sponsor Adult Video Universe.

It's a nunsploitation Christmas!

With the holidays right around the corner, what could be more appropriate than the long-awaited release of what is bound to be a nunsploitation holiday favorite, Two Front Teeth? After an agonizing wait, the DVD is here at last! We finally get to see the Vatican's secret order of combat-ready ninja nuns do battle with a vampiric Santa Claus and his army of zombie elves! One thing is for certain, the Silent Knights are bound to be the sexiest ninja nuns in cinematic history! Two Front Teeth is now available on DVD from our sponsor, CD Universe.

Convent Library update!

Trailer for Doubt unveiled

The eagerly waited trailer for the motion picture version of John Patrick Shanley's award-winning play Doubt was released Friday. We've got a Quicktime version of the trailer for your downloading enjoyment. While not much of an exploitation film at all, the movie does feature the beautiful Amy Adams as Sister James. Don't look to the film for any cheap thrills. It's a serious drama about an authoritarian nun who suspects a priest of sexually abusing a student.

Hentai theater update

We've added eight new video clips to our hentai anime nun theater. First, check out sample clips from the brutal nun rape scene in Oni Tensei. Then, make your way over to After Class Lesson and watch a harem of nuns engage in a sacreligious orgy for their master! These clips and many more are waiting for you in our Naughty Nun Theater!

Kitty releases naughty nuns and voluptuous valkyries!

Kitty Media has announced a September 23 North American release date for Ride of the Valkyrie, the English-language version of Ikuso Otome Valkyrie Shinjou. Based on a hit hentai game, the anime is a strange blend of Norse Mythology and Catholicism in which Valkyries come to the aid of nuns who are being raped by demons. The Valkyries are shocked to discover that Freya has betrayed them and has become a sex slave of the Devil, leaving the Valkyries powerless to keep themselves from becoming rape victims themselves! Ride of the Valkyrie is available now for preorder from Animenation, Powell's Books, and CD Universe.

Weird, even for us....

Just when we thought we had seen it all, we stumble across The Head — a bizarre sci-fi/horror/nunsploitation movie from the 1950s. A mad scientist (Horst Frank from Jess Franco's Marquis de Sade's Justine) gets the hots for a beautiful - but deformed - hunchback nun (Karin Kernke). He engages in a crazy operation in which he puts the decapitated head of the nun onto the body of a voluptuous stripper! Yes, this is a real movie. Check out our review and picture gallery for proof!

August News Updates:
The (official) Vatican Nun Beauty Pageant -- gone as soon as it appeared!

No this is not a joke, not a trick, not some viral marketing scheme. This is for real. "Nuns are — above all — women, and beauty is a gift from God," Father Antonio Rungi, the organizer of the official nun beauty pageant, told the Corriere della Sera newspaper of Italy. "You really think all nuns are old, stunted and sad? This isn't the case anymore." According to Rungi, the contest was suggested by the nuns themselves. The first pageant, "Miss Sister Italy", was planned to take place online on Rungi's blog. Online visitors would then vote for the winners. Sadly for us, Vatican officials were quick to squash the endeavor. "My superiors were not happy. The local bishop was not happy, but they did not understand me either," Father Rungi told Reuters.

Salvation releases Les Demons!

FINALLY! Salvation Films long-awaited DVD release of Jess Franco's Les Demons may actually see the light of day! The studio announced a September 8 release date for the DVD in the U.K. No North American release has been scheduled yet. Best of all, Les Demons comes to you full and uncut with no censorship for Britains notorious BBFC, the censorious body that outright banned Visions of Ecstasy, a film by Salvation founder Nigel Wingrove, on the grounds of blasphemy.

Jenna Dewan cast for Magdalena feature film

Valhalla Motion Pictures has cast Jenna Dewan (Step Up, Tamara), in their feature film adaptation of Top Cow Comics' The Magdalena. Not much unlike Warrior Nun Areala, The Magdalena is the story of Patience, a descendent of Mary Magdalene who has been granted special powers for battling the forces of evil.

Megan Fox stars in the sexiest nunsploitation film EVER!

Megan Fox, voted as Maxim Magazine's "Sexiest Woman in the World", is slated to appear in a sexy new nunsploitation film Teresa: The Making of a Saint. Check out the unbelievable trailer! If you haven't guessed by the title, the movie is a spiced up version of the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. To make the story more appealing to audiences, Hollywood has made some sexy additions, including a scene in which Mother Teresa has a hot love affair with a priest and must choose between her man and her vows. Fox is cast in the title role as Mother Teresa herself. While the trailer is real, this film is a joke -- literally. It's too ridiculous to be real. Teresa: The Making of a Saint is actually a movie within the movie How to Lose Friends & Alienate People in which Fox plays Sophie Maes, a bad actor who only gets roles because she's hot. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is scheduled for an October 8 release in North American theaters.

Justine North American re-release

Salvation Films has announced that it is re-releasing director Chris Boger's take on Marquis de Sade's Justine featuring Koo Stark of Star Wars fame. Justine is the tale of two sisters (biological sisters and nuns). One sister, Juliette, lives a life of sin and self-indulgence and is rewarded for it. The other, Justine (Stark), lives a life of virtue and knows nothing but suffering. Ryko Distribution has scheduled Justine for an October 28 North American release date.

September Nunsploitation DVDs announced

Media Blasters has acquired the rights to the hentai anime valkyrie epic Ikusa Otome Valkyrie Shinshou.

The anime will be released on DVD September 23 under the title Ride of the Valkyrie through Kitty Media. Also on the slate for September is Ivan Zuccon's nun horror film NyMpha! We expect MTI to announce an exact date shortly. Impatient? Geneon will be releasing the title in Japan on June 25! Keep your eye on our Upcoming Movies section for breaking details!

Review of Sparrow

Storia di una Capinera or Sparrow seems like an inocuous little film as it quietly finds its place in the nunsploitation genre, but it is surprisingly powerful with moving performances by Angela Bettis and Vanessa Redgrave Indeed Redgrave could be reprising her role of Sister Jeanne in Ken Russell's The Devils. Her casting in this film is nothing short of perfect. Read our review and check out the image gallery for more details.

Salvation covers their nuns

Salvation Films has announced that they will be re-releasing many of their nunsploitation films including Sacred Flesh, The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine, and their nunsploitation box set, Let Us Prey. While they're at it, they've decided to spruce them up a bit by adding new cover art (seen here, left and right). We kind of liked the old cover art, but whatever. In other news, Salvation Films also announced the acquisition of the rights to Jean Rollin's nunsploitation horror film Fiancée of Dracula. With the exception of his two newest films, Salvation now holds the rights to the entire Rollin collection.

Troma prepares to offend

Troma Entertainment is preparing to offend audiences this week with the June 24 DVD release of its newest film Offensive Behavior. In the movie, an amateur pornographic film maker reluctantly takes over the family business from his Mafia hitman mother (who is also a nun). However, when a half million dollar hit job goes awry, hillarity ensues! Five years in the making, Offensive Behavior is available from our sponsor HK Flix. What are you waiting for? Preorder your copy today!

"The punishment of salvation is a sentence of pleasure"

Today we review Silvio Bandinelli's World War II erotica film La Punizione (AKA: The Punishment). Nikki Anderson stars as a perverse nun who believes the only way to spiritual salvation is through a punishment of sexual pleasure. Beautifully filmed with gorgeous performers, Bandinelli's only flaw is that he's gun shy about depicting Nikki Anderson as a sex-crazed nun! Check out our review!

Eva Mendes in talks for Bad Lieutenant

Last year, we reported that Eva Mendes confessed her lifelong desire to become a nun. Now, we discover that Nicholas Cage's Ghost Rider co-star is in negotiations to join him in the remake of Bad Lieutenant. We've got our fingers crossed that she'll get Frankie Thorn's role as the nun who gets raped, setting off a chain of events that leads to the Lieutenant's redemption. The bad news is director Werner Herzog told Empire that the movie will not be an actual remake, rather "It is a completely different story in the same sense as the last James Bond is not a remake of the previous one." This means that there's no guarantee the film will involve any nuns at all! A non-nunsploitation Bad Lieutenant? Say it ain't so!

Nuns of St. Archangel reviewed

We've got a new review up for director Domenico Paolella's first nunsploitation film The Nuns of St. Archangel featuring nunsploitation veteran Anne Heywood (The Nun of Monza). While the story is strong and the actors are beautiful, Paolella could have thrown in a bit more sex, nudity and gore... check out our review and decide for yourself! We've also got a new image gallery and movie trailer available for download.

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

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!

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!

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. Good Girl, Bad Girl may have been filmed for a TV audience but the stunts and FX are on par with a big-budget, action movie. Check out our review and downloadable movie trailer!

Runa's Confession reviewed!

We finally got the opportunity to watch and review Kim Stim's DVD release of Masaru Konuma's nunsploitation entry into Japan's pinku eiga genre, Runa's Confession. If you're a fan of Japanese nunsploitation films like School of the Holy Beast and Wet Rope Confession, then check out Runa's Confession for more off-the-wall sexploitation that beats out any Eurosleaze film hands down! We've also added a movie trailer and an image gallery for you to check out! Runa's Confession is available through our sponsor HK Flix.

Canadians vie to be Nazis and Nuns

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?

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! Until then, enjoy our Dark Chapel image gallery and the downloadable movie trailer for Dark Chapel 1! The first installment of the series is available now from AnimeNation.

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....

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.

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."

'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.

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's Black 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. Sister Emanuelle is one of our Nunsploitation Best Bets. Check out our review!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Mother Joan of the Angels director dies

Polish filmmaker Jerzy Kawalerowicz who directed Mother Joan of the Angels died at age 85. 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. Mother Joan of the Angels is available on DVD from DVD Empire and HK Flix.
