michellelocke007 one of the few stand out films during the nunsploitation invasion during the early seventies. not really much of a plot as it follows the exploits of a god-worshipping and selfless nun by the name of sister maria. she is kind, caring and devoted to helping the less fortunate and has a natural bond with animals as it showcases in the beginning of the film.it isn't too long before she has an encounter with a naked man who offers her a bite of his red apple. frightened she runs away and back to the convent, confused and bewildered by what this all means. to the viewer it is clear that the man is the devil in disguise, trying to tempt sister maria as he continues to re-appear to her. from there, maria begins a descent into sexual depravity, loss of her sanity and eventually, murder...three to be exact.the actress who portrays the title character did an admirable job in conveying the anguish and torment the sister is going through...battling her many demons and darkest desires all the while, trying to do the right thing and continuing her worship of the lord.while the film is over thirty years old, it has aged well over time and i admired the cinematography and the direction of it. beautiful scenery and sharp contrasting images and colour as well.anyone interested in taking a peek into the nunsploitation genre should check out this rare Mexican film as it has all the right elements to a good exploitation.

Der_Schnibbler Like most of these once-shocking exploitation movies, the buzz surrounding them today on IMDb comments and online forums is more captivating than the film itself. Blame it on our desensitized 21st century sensibilities but, for whatever reason, if this movie was shocking once, it's not any more, save for perhaps a few sheltered souls that are easily impressed. That's not to say it's a bad film. I just hate to see so many people seek these little known gems out with false expectations.Another reviewer here says the main character (the nun who falls from grace) engages in "lesbianism, child seduction and heresy." Well, the first part is true, for what that's worth. The last part is a given, but then again heresy committed by a nun is not exactly a tall order. As far as "child seduction," well, here we have the reason why these films are so trumped up: modern day, brow-beaten, "politically correct" types who'll get their feathers ruffled at pretty much anything. There's no child seduction in this film, unless you consider a mildly attractive nun trying to seduce an shy and timid teenage boy who unrealistically rejects her purely for plot's sake, i.e. just to make the nun look even more lecherous.The film moves slowly, the nudity is brief (and the protagonist's body is not exactly a knockout), the effects, though cheap, are well done, the one brief scene of lesbianism is almost arousing, and that's about it.The film is worth watching for someone interested in a "study" of a nun's internal repressions and how they affect her view of the outer world (you are never quite sure if the events are happening or if she is deluded) but for anyone expecting some kind of feast of debauchery, ya better forget it. Unless, of course, you're a "politically correct" sissy like so many commentators here.

Xex-Arachnid This movie is true to form with the opening of racial prejudice towards the nuns who're not Mexican.I have read many reviews in where this movie was very confusing but this is not the case because this generation of movie viewer has to have everything explained to them because it hurts to think. Blame capitalism, blame the information age, Hell, blame me but if you have read such reviews don't take it to heart for ye will surely be deceived!!! The movie is about a nun who's harassed by the devil all because of her purity or desire to be chaste. Eversince she's been in contact with El Levid whom I shall refer to as (The Count of Dantecrispo, sister purity gets the urge to seduce goat herders and fellow nuns.I will not share any more but for me, it's worth the investment. I like this movie more than Alucarda and that's saying a lot since Alucarda's pure Kult Ov the Kult of my video collectiones.

Coventry Ah yes, trashy-looking movies revolving on wicked and sexually depraved nuns…you got to love 'em! "Nunsploitation" is the most absurd and pointless sub genre of horror cinema (closely followed by Nazi-exploitation and Dwarfsploitation) but also strangely fascinating and, if you've seen one, you develop an uncontrollable desire to see them all, even though the stories are hardly ever worth bothering for. This Mexican gem is a perfect example to state the theory! "Sátanico Pandemonium" has almost no plot at all; the acting performances are quite embarrassing and isn't even that bloody! This film is just pleasantly deranged, with an enjoyable tempo and pretty stylish set pieces. We're welcomed into a convent during the Inquisition-era where the beautiful sister Maria undergoes bizarre changes. Satan himself keeps on appearing to her and she starts doing very UN-catholic things, like mutilating herself and seducing young boys that are fishing. The more Satan controls her (simply by wandering around offering her an half-eaten apple…I suppose it's symbolism), the viler her acts get, resulting in the death of several innocent people. There are some incredibly tedious parts to struggle through, but overall this is elegant entertainment for trained exploitation fans. It's not a patch on other Nunsploitation-highlights, such as "The Devils", "Flavia – The Heretic" or "Alucarda" (also Mexican), but it has the right amount of naked female flesh, enchanting costumes and atmospheric music. Naughty nuns equal great fun!
