Nasty Habits: The Nunsploitation Collection Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman December 25, 2021

Maybe just a little hilariously, the film cited in this set in at least a couple of supplements as having started the relatively brief but decidedly provocative "Nunsploitation" phase in global (and, notably, Italian) cinema, Ken Russell's 1971 The Devils, is as of the writing of this review nowhere to be seen on Blu-ray, but niche labels like Severin Films evidently have had little trouble finding all sorts of other films featuring randy women in wimples (and, frequently, little else). Two of the films aggregated in this set, Cristiana Devil Nun and Story of a Cloistered Nun, come from relatively early in the Nunsploitation craze (at least if one takes The Devils as a starting point), while the other two, Images in a Convent and The True Story of the Nun of Monza, stem from 1979 and 1980, when exploitation tastes may have moved on to other peculiar pleasures. Severin has assembled some interesting supplements to accompany the films, and the set is housed in a nicely designed slipbox.

Severin has assembled some interesting examples of the Nunsploitation genre in this set, and those interested in this quirky nook and/or cranny of exploitation cinema may find some value in the well done assortment of supplements. Technical merits vary from film to film, and so my advice is to parse screenshots of the individual reviews.
