Synopsis: Director Norifumi Suzuki plunges into a maelstrom of hidden torture, secret masochistic desires and blasphemous rites as Yumi Takigawa takes religious vows to find out what terrible things happened to her mother inside the Sacred Heart convent. She finds out with the help of lecherous archbiships, a lesbian mother superior and a line-up of fellow nuns. Review: The film is perhaps one of the strongest of the genre. It strikes a chord with fans of exploitation films as well as those looking for a more a compelling story than is usually found in this type of fare. Read more.... Review by Vince Brusio: Adultery, murder, and theft are among the big no-no's that make up the 73 chapters of discipline you adopt when you wear the black robe at St. Clore Abbey. And the bed bugs won't get a chance to bite you should you violate a rule, and become a transgressor. Self-flagellation in the moonlight replaces your peaceful bed rest. Read More... Review by Ben Larson The usual features of nunsploitation are there: lesbianism, rapes (one by the priest), and flagellation. But there was so much more! Read More.... Review by Citizen and Liz: In the midst of a surpisingly involved plot, we are treated to copious scenes of self-torture and whipping, which serve primarily as a vehicle for showing the nice breasts and nubile bodies hiding under the nuns' habits. Read More.... Review by Herolder: This Japanese nunsploitation movie is a masterpiece and as much an art film as it is an exploitation movie. While it has everything you expect from a movie of the genre like nudity, lesbianism, whipping and even rape, its cinematography is very artful, even poetic sometimes. Read More...
