The SassyFlix Take
From the vault: proof that nothing brings out the worst in a convent like a good old-fashioned witch’s curse.
Why Cult
Delivers a heady mix of convent depravity, forbidden desires, and demonic possession, all under the watchful eyes of the Inquisition.
Directed and written by cult auteur Jesús Franco, ensuring a wild, transgressive ride through horror and exploitation territory.
Merges explicit sexuality with supernatural horror—expect nuns behaving very badly under the influence of sinister forces.
Bears the 'video nasty' moniker, promising a blend of taboo-busting violence and salacious spectacle that scandalized censors.
