Description:
SCHOOL OF THE HOLY BEAST
Japan's most notorious Nun-Exploitation film: School Of The Holy Beast (Sei Juu Gakuen) directed by sexploitation guru, Norifumi Suzuki, plunges into a maelstrom of hidden torture, secret masochistic desires, and blasphemous rites as Yumi Takigawa takes religious vows to find out what terrible things happened to her mother inside the Sacred Heart Convent. When she finds out - with the help of a lecherous archbishops, a lesbian mother superior and a line-up of fellow nuns ready to whip her (in the films most deliriously over the top scene)with a gauntlet of rose-thorns - hell is loose. Beautifully shot, a shocking unforgetable Masterpiece by the director of 'Beautiful Girl Hunter' - Dario Argento meets the Marquis de Sade.
CULT EPICS MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THE YEAR

Rating: - Nasty Nuns of Nippon
I sat down to view this expecting a typical nunsploitation flick. Sure there is some whipping, torture, lesbianism and even some mention of Satan. But this Japanese product available in a widescreen, uncut version by Cult Epics is an absorbing and gripping story of demons that lurk within the hearts and minds of humans, not beasts of the holy or unholy kind.

Yes, its sexploitation or nunsploitation, but the lead is avery strong and resourceful woman.
Is there a difference , besides the titles, between the two versions? More material, less?
If you really want to buy, go for the less expensive used 'Convent'
Rating:  - "I can smell the foul odor of witches, servants of Satan."
For having such a promising name SCHOOL OF THE HOLY BEAST sure was a letdown. There's no Satan worshipping or hot demon possessed nuns with large spider legs coming out of their backs, instead we get an average looking young lady who joins one of those nun hangouts so she can figure out who her parents were...the only thing she knows about them is her mother was a nun at this location.
Anyway once there she doesn't discover a secret lesbian factory instead it's your run of the mill pent up sexuality, ... Read More
Rating:  - Fantastic Japanese Nunsploitation
A wonderful film - as amazing as Female Prisoner 701 - fantastic visuals - fantastic music - only the Japanese can make such trash with such style. Highly recommended!
