Sacred Flesh
Taunted by visions of Mary Magdalene, who reveals the confessions of the younger nuns at the convent, the Mother Superior's mind is filled with the violent, sexual acts of her fellow sisters.
Why it matters
A daring dive into religious repression and erotic horror that blends surreal visuals with taboo-shattering themes.
- Unapologetically transgressive, it channels the spirit of '70s nunsploitation with a modern art-horror sensibility.
- Practical effects and intense performances create a claustrophobic, unsettling atmosphere inside the convent’s walls.
- For fans of boundary-pushing cinema that interrogates faith, guilt, and desire through a distinctly female gaze.
- Not for the faint of heart or those seeking narrative clarity—its fragmented, dreamlike structure demands patience and an appetite for discomfort.
