A nunsploitation extravaganza starring Anita Ekberg (LA DOLCE VITA) and Warhol favorite Joe Dallesandro; Ekberg plays Sister Gertrude, a man-hating nun whose recent surgery to remove a brain tumor has left her suffering from headaches, paranoia, and a morphine addiction. Unfortunately no one will take her complaints seriously, that is until patients start turning up dead at times corresponding exactly with Gertrude's morphine blackouts. Sister Gertrude is forced to curtail her burgeoning exploration of her sexual freedom and is committed to the psychiatric ward, and everyone, Gertrude included, believes the mystery solved; why then do the murders continue? The hospital turns into an orgy of sex, violence, lesbianism, and necrophilia in this classic of Italian horror cinema. (official distributor synopsis)

Killer Nun isn't a particularly great film, but some moments are interesting. Anita Ekberg is believable, great, and then there is also the beautiful Paola Morra. The story isn't stupid, and it tries to captivate the viewer, which is somewhat disrupted by the not-very-confident direction. Some scenes are just boring. However, the finale is not bad at all, so the overall impressions of the film hover around average, perhaps slightly below.
