Nunsploitation is a film
category all on its own — always sick and twisted. It’s sort of a companion, a cousin if you
will, to those wonderful women in prison films that we all love so much. You can only imagine that it is a very guilty
pleasure indeed when you have nuns running what amounts to a prison!
That’s precisely what
Kino Lorber has planned for release on May 21 with the Blu-ray debut (along
with a remastered DVD edition) of Italian filmmaker Sergio Grieco’s 1974
Nunsploitation gem, The Sinful Nuns of Saint Valentine.
Bad girls, unruly young
women and those being punished for this and that are placed under the watchful
eye of the Mother Superior/Abbess (Françoise Prévost) at a remote convent … she
naturally “whips” them into shape, which includes her latest “guest,” a young
woman named Lucita (Jenny Tamburi).
A
riff on Romeo and Juliet is worked into the proceedings, but that’s
just a loose thread that connects the lurid sex scenes together (no one really comes
for the plot).
Also getting newly remastered
editions during the month of May are Cold Eyes of Fear (Blu-ray and DVD
on May 21) and Shoot First Die Later (Blu-ray and DVD on May 28).
