I have not yet had the “pleasure” of seein Giulio Berruti’s sick piece of nunsploitation (yes, a real subgenre) KILLER NUN, but those fiends over at Blue Underground are looking to change that when they release the 1979 flick on Blu-ray next Spring. Hope you’re not a sinner…

A mentally disturbed nun develops some nasty habits in this cult horror tale. Suffering from a brain disorder, morphine-addicted Sister Gertrude (Anita Ekberg) spins out of control. She tries to get help, but none of her colleagues at the mental hospital take her seriously — until someone starts murdering patients. Gertrude’s erratic behavior makes her the prime suspect, so the Mother Superior has Gertrude committed … but the murders continue.
