Nunsploitation lives!

The Nun is one of those films. You know the kind. You see it on the shelves at the store. There was no advertising; no theatrical release. It just showed up straight to DVD. So you give it a shot cause it looks kinda cool. And you what? It is kinda cool. Sure, you've seen this all before but its just so much fun that you don't really care. The story follows some young Catholic schoolgirls who accidentally kill their teacher. 18 years later, the daughter of the one girl searches for the others when her mother is suspiciously killed. Granted its all been done before, but the cast is game and the script adds enough cool touches to make it all worthwhile. In short, there are problems with the film but it is just fun enough to make it all go down nice and easy.
