It is in a bright yellow box and it spoke to me from the shelf as I was browsing!<br /><br />I actually loved this film, OK it is nowhere near as graphic, violent or sexually perverse as other nunsploitation films, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I think this one is just (but only just I hasten to add) worth a watch. As Venom noted above it is beautifully photographed and the story is told reasonably well - that there is a well told story raises it above most Nunsploitation titles.Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-45243933110326765672010-07-31T16:08:36.956+01:002010-07-31T16:08:36.956+01:00Cracked up at the accurate adjectives line Shaun, ...Cracked up at the accurate adjectives line Shaun, Im really the last person to claim to be a fan of most Exploitation films let alone Nunsploitation, so I am afraid I am out on this one.

I saw links for them at several sites like play.com and amazonUK. Not sure if they ship to the US, or not.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-87059106745916202042010-07-29T19:37:22.580+01:002010-07-29T19:37:22.580+01:00The Shameless tag lines! - I still think they'...The Shameless tag lines! - I still think they're at it. Shameless have been quiet for a while but they've got back into the swing of things in the last few months - SATAN'S BABY DOLL, LOVE GODDESS OF THE CANNIBALS, THE BEAST IN SPACE etc. I'd like the BRONX WARRIORS tin as well, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. I kinda think they've been overshadowed this year by Arrow Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-9802358482302787882010-07-29T17:48:31.510+01:002010-07-29T17:48:31.510+01:00I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Has Shameless at least done away with those ridiculous tag lines they slap on their DVD's? I do want to pick up that BRONX WARRIORS tin they put out.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-1438720474271156602010-07-28T06:18:20.761+01:002010-07-28T06:18:20.761+01:00I love the Flavia Priestess of Violence poster!I love the <i>Flavia Priestess of Violence</i> poster!dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
