A number of people who have devoted their lives to God find themselves undone by desires of the flesh in this unusual erotic drama.

A wave of sexual temptation has begun to flood the convent, with the Mother Superior (Sally Tremaine) having bizarre sexual fantasies about Mary Magdalene (Kristina Bill), and many of the other nuns suddenly attracted to each other.

    Your typical Satanic nunsploitation flick (demonic possession, lesbianism, etc.) It's not bad but not great. The sex scenes are hot but the women are obviously not that "into" it, if you know what I mean. Man, just hire real lesbians if you want to have realistic, convincingly... read more hot lesbian scenes...
