Seijû Gakuen

AKA School of the Holy Beast, this is a Japanese nun-sploitation in which I assume the writer’s only knowledge of Christianity was learned from other nun-sploitation films. There’s a point where one of the head nuns tells the students that Jesus said adulterers should be “arrested and killed.” I could be wrong, but I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the New Testament. Anyways, this is about as sleazy as these movies can be with its share of floggings, naked skin, and a creepy priests. Yet, the movie is shot in an incredibly artistic style that makes the whole affair seem more high-brow than it actually is. I think it’s a good movie, but you’ll surely need to go to confession after watching it.
