Trivia
Joe Dallesandro's voice is dubbed by another actor in the English language version.

Alternate versions
The film became infamous in the UK after it was placed on the DPP list of 72 video nasties, and the initial Redemption video release in 1993 was cut by 13 seconds to edit a scene where an old woman's face and eyes are stabbed with needles and a scalpel. The cuts were fully restored in the 2007 Shameless DVD release.

Killer movie!

I'm really surprised at the lack of comments for this classic piece of Nunsploitation! This movie is really, really odd! Anita Ekberg plays a cancer obsessed Nun who works as a nurse. Old people start getting killed, and she starts flipping out. She stomps on an old lady's false teeth, shoots up morphine, picks up a guy and screws him, and gets sexually involved with a fellow disturbed nun. Is she the killer? Does she even know herself? Watch 'Killer Nun' to find out.

Warhol regular Joe Dallesandro appears as a doctor but isn't very memorable. Ekberg's lesbian lover is though! One of the hottest nuns you'll ever see!
