SCHOOL
OF
THE HOLY BEAST
(Cult
Epics) 1974. Nunploitation. Japanese with English subtitles. Not
Rated, violence, nudity. Hoping
to discover the truth, Yumi enrols in the same Convent that her mother was
in at the time of her death. While there, Yumi discovers that the place is
run by a group of psychotic nuns who’ll stop at nothing to keep the
Convent’s history a dirty little secret.
While there are scenes that will
certainly disturb the hard core Christian, the “shock” actually gets
more in the way of the decent story than it should. Of course, the torture
is still fun. Directed by sexploitation legend Norifumi Suzuki, the
shooting is good, but the colors captured are phenomenal. Although the
blood is minimal, there are scenes of various types of torture. You will
see some topless nudity with one almost butt shot that could’ve been,
but wasn’t. Extras include, Interview with Actress Yumi Takigawa,
an interview with some arsehole movie critic (what do these jerks know?),
and theatrical trailer. – Denis Sheehan
