Star-crossed
lovers Lucita (Jenny Tamburi) and Esteban (Paolo Malco) are kept apart by her
devious father (Franco Ressel) who refuses to let them marry. As a desperate measure, he wisks her off to a
convent to become a nun while accusing Esteban to be a heretic. With the Spanish Inquisition hot on his trail,
the wounded Esteban drops by to rescue Lucita from the nunnery. That night, her sexy roommate Josefa (Bruna
Beani) is murdered and Lucita is blamed. The nuns eventually decide to help him free
his love from the clutches of the Inquisition. However, the demented abbess (Francoise
Prevost) has a few ulterior motives, and all of them are positively filthy.
Part of the fun of The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine is the way it hops from genre to genre, seemingly on a whim. It goes from smutty nunsploitation to exploitative Inquisition drama to a straight-up murder mystery. Despite the wacky shifts in tone, it remains a fun mash-up that almost always delivers the sleazy goods. The scenes of forced lesbianism, torture, and whipping are strong enough on their own. Add to that the fact that all of this happens to women wearing nun habits, and that just makes it even better. (If that’s your sort of thing, that is.)
Imagine a cross between Mark of the Devil and Behind Convent Walls, and that might give you an idea of what to expect.
I
also liked how it starts mid-story with the hero already on the run. Even once we get to the convent, there’s very
little filler. The final scenes are
especially memorable. It’s here where the
nuns are condemned to death and locked inside the convent where they slowly go
mad, fighting, raping, and killing each other.
If
you think you’ve seen it all folks, then you should definitely check in on The
Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine.
