The Last House on the Beach
La settima donna
Sister Cristina is a nun who takes teenage girls in her care at a remote beach house where they rehearse A Midsummer Night's Dream. When three thugs show up, brutally raping and terrorizing the girls, sister Cristina is forced to renounce her teachings and seek bloody revenge.
Why it matters
A grimly unflinching slice of Italian exploitation that flips the rape-revenge formula with a shocking blend of religious iconography and beachside brutality.
- Early example of the rape-revenge subgenre, mixing pastoral innocence with grotesque violence.
- Sister Cristina’s righteous fury upends the saintly nun trope into something raw and vengeful.
- Practical effects deliver disturbingly visceral moments that linger beyond the screen.
- For fans of Euro exploitation who appreciate horror’s darkest intersections with societal taboos and moral collapse.
