Review

Swedish bombshell Anita Ekberg may be an unconventional casting choice to play a nun, but the protagonist in Giulio Berruti’s off-the-wall cult oddity isn’t your average Sister--she’s a Killer Nun (1978). The mentally deranged Sister Gertrude gets her kicks through morphine abuse, Sapphic seduction, and torture until a concerned Mother Superior (Alida Valli) halts her in her tracks. Luigi Casellato, Joe Dallesandro, and Massimo Serato join an ensemble cast of B-movie regulars, but this show belongs to Ekberg and co-star Paola Morra. Their scandalous scenes of lesbian love should leave you with plenty to confess on Sunday.
