Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and horror fans. If you loved Bad Lieutenant or The Shawshank Redemption, start here.
The mood
Scary, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect sex.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1977: an older pace and style.

Sister Emanuelle and Sister Nanà go to meet Mr. Cazzabriga, who has a problem: his wild-child daughter, Monica, who he wants to send to a Catholic school to remove her from temptations around the house.
