Protraph Lack of good storyline.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Aaron1375 This film has a much higher score here than I would have thought. I did not really enjoy this movie much at all as it comes from Bruno Mattei maker of such fine films as "Rats: Nights of Terror" and "Hell of the Living Dead". Well not such fine films, but they were much funner to watch than this rather boring and very poorly done nuns with a secret movie. This one was just something both of those films were not and that is rather boring. It is also one of the more disjointed films I have ever seen as once Crow said of a film "It is economical to not have a story, because then you can just film people doing stuff", this line could easily apply to this film as well. Most of it is people walking here and there. The story, nuns are getting killed, a priest is sent in and he believes it to all be the work of the devil. Well another priest is sent in as he believes there is a logical reason behind everything. People die occasionally and you see people going up the stairs and down the stairs, man who is a gardener who at first appears mute and is not feeds his dogs. People say random things trying to convince the viewers and probably themselves that there is a plot at work here, but can not fool me. There is gore here and there in the film, but not exactly your usual Italian horror film. You also get the typical Goblin soundtrack which is one of the pluses of this film as I prefer their music to the crap they put in most horror movies these days. Some interesting stuff within this one, but overall out of the nun films I have seen it is the weakest. Not that I have seen all that many, only "Demonia" and "Dark Waters", both of which are more gory and grisly than this film and have a better flow that makes each have a semblance of a plot going on.

meader82 Another pointless and mostly boring film from Italian schlock director Bruno Mattei. The movie itself is a mess. The plot isn't very coherent and it is often hard to discern exactly what is going on most of the time (or what the whole point of the movie is). It also lacks any real tension or scares throughout most of the movie and just falls into a boring monotony of nonsense. The Goblin soundtrack just sounds very strange and out of place here. Maybe because it isn't really an action film and the setting just isn't right for the synthesized music. The only thing I can say about the movie that isn't at least somewhat negative is that I was entertained by the movie's ending. The acting (albeit very over the top) wasn't the worst I've encountered in an Italian horror film either. Bruno Mattei himself seems to almost disown this film in an interview on my DVD copy so you know that this has got to be pretty bad.

Woodyanders A series of brutal murders occur in a convent. Stalwart, no-nonsense priest Father Valerio (well played by Carlo De Mejo) investigates the killings and discovers that the devil himself might be responsible for all the mayhem. Director/co-writer Bruno Mattei does an expert job of creating and sustaining a potently brooding gloom-doom atmosphere. Moreover, Mattei delivers several effectively nasty moments, starting with an incredibly tasteless sequence in which a deranged nun stabs the crotch of a dead woman and subsequently mutilates her vagina (!) before totally flipping out and bumping off a fellow sister. Other grisly highlights are a priest getting turned into a human torch, weird gardener Boris (a memorably creepy Franco Garofalo) having his throat torn out by a German shepherd, and a newborn baby being dunked into a pot of boiling water. This film further benefits from the dusty, cobwebby set design (the basement full of human skulls is especially unnerving), Giuseppe Bernardi's slick, shadowy cinematography, a splendidly severe and sinister performance by Franca Stoppi as the formidable Mother Vincenza, and, best of all, a throbbing, groovy-rockin' score by Goblin. A hugely enjoyable chunk of perfectly offensive celluloid blasphemy.

EVOL666 THE OTHER HELL is a mess of a nunsploit/horror film that starts off strong and then fizzles out throughout the rest of the run-time. Seemingly pieced together from ideas gathered from BUIO OMEGA, SUSPIRIA, and ROSEMARY'S BABY - but never really comes close to matching any of those films.The plot focuses around a nunnery where mysterious murders are taking place. A young priest is brought in to investigate the assertions that it is the work of the Devil. The priest believes that the murders are not supernaturally related and intends to prove his theory...THE OTHER HELL started off VERY strong with a really cool opening scene that I was hoping would set the tone for the rest of the film. Unfortunately, it didn't. The film quickly became dull and derivative, with some scenes appearing to be almost directly lifted from other films. The strong Goblin soundtrack itself was ripped straight from BUIO OMEGA as is the lead actress. THE OTHER HELL had a good bit of potential but just never acted on it. I'd still recommend a look to Italian horror fans - but don't get your hopes up too high...6.5/10
