I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Why so much hype?

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Boring, long, and too preachy.

This film has a much higher score here than I would have thought. I did not really enjoy this movie much at all as it comes from Bruno Mattei maker of such fine films as "Rats: Nights of Terror" and "Hell of the Living Dead". Well not such fine films, but they were much funner to watch than this rather boring and very poorly done nuns with a secret movie. This one was just something both of those films were not and that is rather boring. It is also one of the more disjointed films I have ever seen as once Crow said of a film "It is economical to not have a story, because then you can just film people doing stuff", this line could easily apply to this film as well. Most of it is people walking here and there. The story, nuns are getting killed, a priest is sent in and he believes it to all be the work of the devil. Well another priest is sent in as he believes there is a logical reason behind everything. People die occasionally and you see people going up the stairs and down the stairs, man who is a gardener who at first appears mute and is not feeds his dogs. People say random things trying to convince the viewers and probably themselves that there is a plot at work here, but can not fool me. There is gore here and there in the film, but not exactly your usual Italian horror film. You also get the typical Goblin soundtrack which is one of the pluses of this film as I prefer their music to the crap they put in most horror movies these days. Some interesting stuff within this one, but overall out of the nun films I have seen it is the weakest. Not that I have seen all that many, only "Demonia" and "Dark Waters", both of which are more gory and grisly than this film and have a better flow that makes each have a semblance of a plot going on.

Other Hell, The (1980) 1/2 (out of 4) Nunsploitation flick from Italy is one of the worst I've seen and it's pretty hard not to make killing nuns entertaining. Hack master Bruno Mattai directed this film about a priest who comes to a convent to investigate some strange deaths to nuns. Is it the work of a serial killer or Satan himself? Who gives a damn, really? This film is incredibly dull and lifeless without a single thing going for it. Mattai seemed to forget that films like this, if they're going to be dull, need some nudity to keep it going but we get none. There's not really any gore or violence outside an opening scene where a nun has her vagina removed because it's the doorway to Hell.

A priest is sent to a convent to investigate the sheer lunacy of a bunch of nun's gone nuts performing acts of lust and depravity. But the closer he looks into the situation the more supernatural it becomes. Does the devil roam the halls terrorizing the nuns or is it something a bit more sinister.I'll get Mattei credit; he tries to inject a little something more in your average, ordinary (nunsploitation storyline (if there is such a thing). It's not entirely successful in that regard but never-the-less he manages to pull off this entertaining but a little slow and the bit of a Stephen King twist to the ending helps it out.

An excellent Bruno Mattei flick! It is a fairly straight-forward account of an evil force plauging a convent. Is it the devil's influence, or something other? A determined preist sets to find out the truth. As is the case with most films that are imported from Italy (or any other country for that matter), the dubbing isn't the greatest, but if you are looking up this film, you should have some experience with this anyways. If you are a fan of "nunsplotation" genre, this MAY or MAY NOT be your cup of tea, being that there is no sex in the film at all, which may cause some fans of Mattei's work to scratch their heads. There is, however, lots of suspense, along with gory deaths, much in the Fulci/Agrento vein. Great cinematography and atmosphere, excellent use of location (look at the beginning sequence!), and it doesn't stint on the red stuff either. It ain't Deep Red or The Beyond, but, trust me, it's MUCH better than most of the stuff that is called "Horror films" nowadays.
