Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

lastliberal Not a surprise that The Last House on the Left would have remakes. This is one of them with a twist - it is also a nunsploitation film.Florinda Bolkan (Flavia the Heretic) is Sister Cristina, who has some Catholic schoolgirls in a beach house rehearsing a play when some dastardly evildoers crash the party.The maid (Isabel Pisano) gets killed almost immediately and this serves to terrorize the group. When they strip the nun and make her put on her habit, the camera is on everyone but her. They even rape her off-camera. They did brutally rape one of the schoolgirls (Sherry Buchanan - Zombie 3), and raped and killed another with a stick.Sister Cristina has had enough. As one of the thieves is suffering and pleading for help, she put him out of his misery. She then shows her capability with his gun. All the girls join in and have their fun with the last one.Not nasty enough to be banned by Britain, but nasty enough.

christopher-underwood This may not be quite as explicit or in your face as, 'House at the Edge of the Park', but it is still seriously nasty affair and most compelling. I found the pacing tight and the action fast moving. 'Action', of course includes, stripping, raping and torturing the various youngsters who are in a desolate house practising a play for their catholic church school with their nun. Florinda Bolkan does very well in her role as the nun, at first stoical and gradually coming around to a more vigorous defence of herself and her girls. Ray Lovelock is excellent as the more charismatic of the baddies who intrude upon the ladies, but everybody helps to make this a most entertainingly brutal and sexy outing. 'Guilty pleasure' I think is the apt description.

Scarecrow-88 Franco Prosperi directs yet another exploitation flick inspired by Craven's notorious Last House on the Left, this time a trio of bank robbing hoods(led by Ray Lovelock, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie)besiege a group of Catholic teenage students and their Nun supervisor, setting off a reign of terror over the course of three nightmarish days. Sister Christina(Florinda Bolkan, Don't Torture a Duckling)tries without fail to rescue her girls from constant harm, sexual molestation and degradation, even suffering depraved persecution herself. The three hoodlums, pretty-boy Aldo(Lovelock)and his unhinged co-horts Walter(Flavio Andeini)and Nino(Stefano Cedrati), often resort to diabolical acts mistreating the girls, and Christina, making extra efforts to humiliate and frighten their weaker prey. The girls watch as Christina's clothes are ripped away by Walter, forced to put on her nun outfit for their amusement. One of the girls, chosen by Walter as a victim of constant abuse, is held down as Nino penetrates her from behind, with their sole purpose being to "pop her cherry." It's even shot in slow motion for extra impact as Aldo holds Christina in a position where she's forced to watch without the ability to turn away. When one of the girls is almost raped by Nino, she stabs him in the leg with a comb, later caught after almost escaping by Aldo, and penetrated with a large sharpened stick by the very one who almost sexually molested her. Aldo spends a great deal of time setting himself up as an innocent among two depraved monsters, but he's even worse than they, with his true self really awakening at the end when the girls revolt out of outrage for their captors' behavior. Thankfully, director Prosperi doesn't actually elaborate the evil actions of the cretins in vivid detail, finding ways to shoot around the explicit acts such as the vaginal violence which leads to the victim's death, or the maid who is bashed across the head by an iron when Walter becomes enraged for no reason whatsoever. The film works off the idea that we will be impacted by who the chosen victims are, teenage girls and their nun. The hoods are your typical scumbags, relishing their activities watching the victims squirm in fear, taking full advantage of them. They are cowards with big weapons who cause harm to those who supposedly pose no threat which always builds up the violent climax where the innocents develop a primal nature, getting even with the ones who caused them such harm. Nothing really special about this umpteenth Italian terror film except the fabulous location on a fine piece of property overlooking a beach with a typically fine performance from Bolkan who plays it completely subtle, using her eyes as a means for communicating with the viewer and has this strength which is credible and admirable. We understand why she snaps(..although, it's not a theatrical snap, but a very quiet one, where she contemplates her actions and can not overcome her hostility after the horrifying murder of one of her girls, who almost got away), and that also relates back to Craven's infamous film where a very mature and sensitive person can become overpowered with the urge to kill, if pushed to the breaking point.

Rapeman Here's another Last House on the Left cash-in, this one comes from notorious Mondo filmmaker Franco Prosperi.After pulling a bank robbery, three thugs (Ray Lovelock, Flavio Andreini & Stefano Cedrati) seek a place to hide out for awhile. They stumble upon an isolated beach house and decide to crash there for a few days. The house is owned by the nearby Catholic School, and Sister Cristina (Florinda Bolkan) and five of her female students are occupying it for a few days as they study for upcoming exams.The men break in and hold the women hostage, and while searching the house to make sure there's no one else around, one of them comes across a maid hiding in the basement – he slaps her around a bit then caves her head in with an iron, promptly killing her. Another of the men finds one of the girls in the bathroom getting dressed and makes unwanted advances towards her; she swiftly grabs a comb and stabs the pointed handle deep into his leg, crippling him for the remainder of the film.When we meet Sister Cristina she is dressed in civilian clothes but as soon as the men discover she is a nun they force her to undress in front of her students and put her habit on. Later on two of them viciously rape her in the wine cellar. The action pretty much never leaves the interior of the house and moves pretty slow as the men lounge around sunbathing and drinking wine (the wounded one even finds time to read a bit of William Faulkner!?).Eventually the ladies manage to do away with their captors as Sister Cristina gives the wounded man a lethal injection, shoots the 2nd man and one of her students blasts the last thug in the stomach with a shotgun. When he refuses to die all five girls beat him to death with sticks! Overall this flick isn't too nasty, shocking or even that entertaining, especially when compared to some of the far superior Last House knock-offs: House on the Edge of the Park, Last House on Dead End Street, Night Train Murders, etc. Although it does contain a few notable scenes: the creepy slo-mo rape of one of the girls set to a ''trippy'' acid-rock score, the violent - although non-graphic - rape-with-a-stick scene (again in slo-mo), a bizarre scene where the men force the girls to watch naked disco dancing on TV while they molest them (!?), and the aforementioned beaten-to-death-with-sticks scene.Some of you will recognize Florinda Bolkan from Flavia the Heretic, A Lizard in a Woman's Skin or Don't Torture a Duckling, Ray Lovelock from Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Murder Rock or Autopsy and one of the female students as Susan Kelly from Zombie Holocaust. It also features a fantastic upbeat score from Roberto Pregadio (SS Experiment Camp, White Cannibal Queen, and SS Camp 5: Women's Hell). Recommended to rape / revenge completists and fans of Italian sleaze. 6/10
