Year: 1974
Director: Gianfranco Mingozzi
Plot: A young girl in the 13th century is sent to a nunnery in Portugal. There she is subjected to torture, rape and whippings, but she escapes with a Jewish man named Abraham. She soon takes on a Muslim lover, who leads an invading army that castrates rapists. Amazingly enough, some of this story is actually based on historical fact. ~ Brian Gusse, All Movie Guide

Body: [quote user="seely"] Nice choices... I sometimes forget that 'weird' was invented before 1995! [quote user="LonesomeRhodes"] The two Jodorowsky films which I have seen, El Topo and Holy Mountain, make David Lynch-type weirdness seem tame. I would include those two and Eraserhead as the three which leap to mind as incomprehensible (to me anyway). Without giving it much more thought, and probably just because Cronenberg deserves a mention in any category of wierdness, I'll round out the five with The Brood and his adaptation of Naked Lunch [/quote] [/quote] As a guy who specializes in collecting the odd and unusual and WEIRD in the film world, I felt I must comment here. I have seen most of the movies mentioned above and I have Jodorowski's El Topo and The Holy Mountain as well as EVERYTHING by Lynch and Cronenberg and beyond in my collection. Some movies are SO weird (The Holy Mountain) that they just make NO sense at all and therefore have lttle or no entertainment value. However, some films can be completely weird AND highly entertaining as well! 2001 and Fantasia are excellent examples of this. I can't believe no one has mentioned the films of Ken Russel yet including Tommy , Altered States , The Lair of the White Worm and The Devils . Honorable mention should be given to John Waters with films such as Multiple Maniacs and Pink Flamingos . Peter Jackson gets a nod for some of his early work like Bad Taste and Meet The Feebles . Pink Floyd: The Wall and Flavia The Heretic get honorable mentions as well... I know that is more than 5 but I was taking it easy on you guys... I could go on and on on this subject... < GOR >

Body: Much like Zombies and Cannibals there is an entire sub-genre of Horror films called 'Nun-Horror' ... I was recently in another group where a guy mentioned a preference for 'nun' films (including The Sound Of Music!) ... and I said that if you are going to watch movies about 'nuns', why not watch some good ones like... Demonia Sisters of Satan The Other Hell Flavia The Heretic Psycho III ... And then it occured to me that there are MANY such films about 'nun-horror'! Probably more than I know of! In fact, I can think of a couple more right off the bat... The Sentinel and the one I have chosen to talk about first... To the Devil, a Daughter ... I recently read that this was the last movie to come out of Englands Hammer Studios. And while I would agree with most critics that this movie lacks the style and flair of most Hammer productions, it has something that no other Hammer film has had before... Nastassja Kinski nude. To put it quite simply, that is worth the price of admission right there. But, aside from Nastassja showing off her lovely body, this is quite a good film in other ways as well. Cristopher Lee is priceless (as he is in ALL of his films) as an insane and evil priest who has abandoned God and chosen to worship Satan instead. He is also the 'godfather' of the young nun, Catherine (Kinski), who has been released from the convent to visit her father - who mysteriously refuses to see her. Instead he sends her to his friend, an American novelist played by Richard Widmark, to look after her. When he leaves Catherine with a couple of his friends while he is researching a story he is writing, they are myseriously murdered in a most brutal fashion and soon other supernatural events begin occuring... This all leads to a final confrontation between Widmark and Lee and the forces of evil in a convoluted ending that doesn't do justice to an otherwise very good movie. This one is recomended for some intense murder scenes and (as mentioned above) the always beautiful Nastassja showing off some of her, um, assets... < GOR >
