Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)- The info above for the film at Amazon states the film is 82-minutes and that it's from Media Blasters. The version I bought with the same cover(nun, cross, naked girl) runs 94 minutes and is a 2-disc special edition from Exploitation Digital(reg.1/ntsc). However, I recently found out(from a reputable website) that my copy from Exp.Dig. is missing a 3-minute scene involving female masturbation.
- The second disc includes a 65-min. documentary/interview called "Totally Uncut: The Erotic Films of Joe D'Amato"(it's english sub-titled and rather explicit). Actually, on the back of the dvd it says-90 minutes, but i used my time/text option on the film and it says 65. Extras inclued an explicit trailer reel of 10 of his films(original full-length trailers it looks like, but don't hold me to it), plus a nice photo gallery.
- I'm no dvd-phile expert, but for a late 70's film, the picture and sound quality is quite good. It looks fairly sharp and crisp. The sub-titles are easy to read, and it's presented in a nice widescreen transfer(1.85:1). The fleshtones look really good.
- Speaking of which, the film itself is only average with a head-scratching or eye-rolling induced ending. But the erotic scenes involving attractive, naked, nuns kissing and caressing each other more than make up for the films shortcomings. Although i must admit i was taken off-guard by the rape scene that started out as a rape scene and ended up being rather x-rated. The film is rather explicit(ranges from NC-17 to X at times but don't worry, it never reaches bad porno level) as the warning on the back of the dvd said, but just the sudden explicitness during THIS un-erotic scene was strange.
Despite the missing scene in question, and the discrepancy in the run-time of the documentary, I still say this 2-disc special edition is well worth the price I paid for it. For well under 20 bucks, this is one of the best sexploitation dvd's you could possibly have in your collection. Highly recommended for the sexually-charged erotic scenes, the documentary, the bonus trailers, and the low affordable price.
