Isabella (Paola Senatore) is a spoiled Countess who is squirreled away inside a convent to keep her from getting it on with her pervert uncle. She’s only there for a hot minute before she’s flashing her boobs at the Mother Superior. Meanwhile, the horny Sisters that inhabit the convent begin fooling around with one another. Are they naturally naughty nuns or are they being influenced by a sinister Satanic statue that stands in the courtyard of the convent? Sexual tensions flare further when a wounded man arrives on the scene seeking shelter (and sex).
Images in a Convent is a tawdry and highly entertaining entry in the Nunsploitation genre. The all-time maestro of Italian sleaze, Joe D’Amato was at the helm of this bad boy, and his unmistakable fingerprints are all over the material. The scenes of the nuns flagrantly breaking their vow of chastity by tossing off their habits and getting down and dirty with each other are a lot of fun. The highlight (for me anyway) came when the Mother Superior whips a nun and then licks her wounds. In addition to the scenes of the sapphic sisters gleefully doing the horizontal mambo, D’Amato also delivers some XXX action during the scene where a pair of thieves have their way with a nun in the woods.
The stuff that holds the sex scenes together is less engaging. The worst thing I can say about the movie is that the whole thing feels episodic. Thankfully, those episodes that contain hot nun on nun action are well worth watching.
The only name I recognized in the credits was Donald (Doctor Butcher M.D.) O’Brien, who plays a priest who shows up late in the game to perform an exorcism on the entire convent. (There’s even a generic sounding knockoff of “Tubular Bells” that accompanies him in a few scenes.) Although I didn’t really know the ladies in the cast by sight (many of whom also appeared in Emanuelle in America for D’Amato), they are all quite good, especially during the epic nun free for all that concludes the picture.
In short, Uncle Joe certainly blessed fans of sleazy cinema when he made Images in a Convent.
