In every film, even those of trashier variety, there's always something to be learned. In this classic piece of 70's Italo-sleaze, it's the fact that building a nunnery atop the ruins of a pagan place of worship is a serious mistake – unless you plan on inducing the poor nuns to a frenzy of sexual debauchery and possession, that is. Sexual repression and monastic discipline in an all-female community do not mix well with remnants of ancient fertility cult: especially leaving a plaster statue of Pan visible on the yard can make controlling the overflowing powers of female perversion impossible.
This fine specimen of the noble genre of nunsploitation by Joe D'Amato presents the viewer a cavalcade of female nudity, flagellation, lesbianism, masturbation, possession, rape as well as a scene where a cardinal's attempt at exorcising the sex-starved nuns ends up in an ecclesial orgy. Naughty, naughty.
Acting is rather rigid, especially the sex scenes, but it's backed by an atmospheric score. Especially the organ-driven theme is memorable.
I'm loving this stuff way too much to try any kind of impartial assessment. A must see for any exploitation enthusiast.
