One of the top entries in the 1970s "nunsploitation" cycle, this depraved classic concerns two forbidden lovers who take refuge in a convent and try to dodge the Inquisition, lesbian nuns and sado-masochistic practices in order to stay together. It's not an easy task. With Pier Giovanni Anchisi, Calisto Calisti. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian mono; Subtitles: English; scene access.

Synopsis: Romance between Esteban and Lucita is threatened after Lucita's father banishes her to a convent. Little do they know that the Mother Superior is a devil worshiper who uses torture and sex as instruments of control. Esteban must try to free Lucita in spite of the lustful advances of the seductive abbess.
The movie culminates when the sex-crazed, demon-possessed nuns are sealed in the convent and begin clawing at the walls and cannibalize each other.
Review: If The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine has any mark to leave on this genre, it is in its perversity. If nothing else, this is a sick and twisted film. Read More....
Review by Ben Larson: The actual nunsploitation aspects are confined to exposed breasts. All of the action takes place under sheets or off camera. Those looking for titillation will not find it in this film. Read More....
