Killer Nun
Suor Omicidi
A demented nun sliding through morphine addiction into madness, while presiding over a regime of lesbianism, torture and death. Sister Gertrude is the head nurse/nun in a general hospital, whose increasingly psychotic behavior endangers the staff and patients around her.
Why it matters
A lurid dive into 1970s Italian nunsploitation that blends twisted religious iconography with grim hospital horror and psychosexual decay.
- Anika Ekberg’s simmering, unhinged performance anchors this delirious portrait of addiction and madness behind convent walls.
- A raw snapshot of Italy’s sleazy genre boom, mixing shock, taboo, and exploitation with a grimy, atmospheric edge.
- Fans of Euro-horror’s murkier corners and transgressive cult cinema will find a perversely compelling curiosity here.
- Notorious for its uneven pacing and narrative chaos, but that fractured energy is part of its unsettling, hypnotic pull.
