messy & nasty, 15 February 2006
8/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Another "forgotten gem" from Moctezuma, one in which two young ladies that live at a convent are possessed and cause a bit of havoc, to say the least. Justine comes to live at the convent & is befriended by Alucarda, and as they're romping through the countryside around the convent they encounter a strange gypsy man that speaks terrible German and may be other than he appears (and his appearance isn't any too normal). The two girls begin exhibiting strange behavior and then spouting blasphemy so they're under the care of a doctor and a priest, and an exorcism is called for but apparently Justine doesn't survive that...or does she? Who knows, because she mysteriously disappears. Lots of blood, lots of screaming and torture, and lots of nuns doing uncharacteristic things, like menstruating in their habits and bursting into flames? Charming. At any rate, this isn't a bad little flick, takes a bit to get going but when it does it gets pretty darn nasty and messy. A bit more over the top than Mansion of Madness, just a bit. 8 out of 10.
