Nuns with their skirts hiked up are dancing on a table. She accepts but when she returns to the convent it has been converted into a literal house of sin. Then they rip one of her eyes out! She cries out to Satan that she accepts his offer, and when the lynching nuns appear, they are carrying stakes covered in flowers and ask Cecilia to be their new Mother Superior (they need a new Mother Superior because Cecilia strangled the old one). Then a sharp rake is being drawn across her midsection and blood is everywhere. We see her–naked, of course–strapped down and having hot lead poured into her mouth. However, once Satan leaves, Cecilia has a vision of what this torture will in fact be like. Cecilia curses Satan and tells him she is resigned to her fate. After that, they will tear her into a thousand pieces. The lead nun is carrying a burning cross! Satan explains to her that the Inquisition will rip her mouth open and pour molten lead down her throat. We see a platoon of blue-clothed nuns marching with burning stakes, ala Frankenstein. Satan appears and tells her that the other nuns are coming to hand her over to the Inquisition. After murdering one too many nuns, Cecilia flees to a cave on top of a mountain to pray and reflect. The ending of the film is about as perverse and twisted as you are likely to see. Seriously, when is the last time you saw a nun rape and then murder an underaged boy? Exactly, never.

In probably the film’s greatest scene, Cecilia rapes and then stabs to death the young Shepard boy. Cecilia runs in and gives her the push off the table. She gets the rope around her neck and begins to pray. Yet another nun is about to hang herself. While trying to make out and fondle another nun, she stabs her. The plot of the film is basically that Cecilia realizes she is possessed by the Devil, but rather than fighting it, she just goes with it. I should also note that Cecilia is moaning the whole time in the exact same manner as when she was whipping herself. Start out with some hot lezbo action, but when it comes time for the pounding, turn the pounder into a man. I think this is a tack more pornographers should adapt. Then the nun goes down on her and when she pops back up, she is Satan. The two begin making out and we get treated to a nice two-minute sequence of the other nun sucking on Cecilia’s boobies. A nun tells Cecilia she is in love with her. She decides to sleep in the barn with the cow to see if the herbal remedy she brewed up has any effect, and wouldn’t you know it, there’s Satan and his apple.įrom there, the film becomes totally riveting. Leaving the bloody, barbwire belt in place, she cossets herself back into her habit and goes to look after the animal. Two other nuns interrupt her because the Mother Superior’s cow is sick. Then she begins to beat herself with a heavy whip, all the while moaning. Alarmed, Cecilia retreats to her quarters, strips nude (something she does with satisfying regularity) and ties what can only be described as a barbwire belt around her midsection. As Cecilia dines with the other nuns in total silence, she sees Satan in the window.

Even more terrified, she runs off again, this time to the safety of the convent. In the reflection of the water she once again sees Satan. She takes it into her arms, coddles it, and takes it over to a well so it can drink. She then encounters a local young boy (about thirteen-years-old) and he shows her his new baby lamb. Turns out the guy (Enrique Rocha) is Satan and Cecilia runs off, terrified. One day while frolicking about in the countryside, she sees a handsome naked man. She was a veterinarian but decided instead to devote her life to Christ and now lives in a rural convent. Satánico stars the ridiculously cute Cecilia Pezet as a troubled young nun. However, the final scene does show that nope, this was no dream this was Satan! In fact, Adolfo Solares states that they had to write the film in such a way that the entire ordeal could be viewed as a bad dream in order to get it past the censors. To call this film “shocking” to Pope-loving sensibilities would be a massive understatement. For, not many countries are as mindlessly Catholic as Mexico. Directed by Mexico’s most prolific director, Gilberto Martínez Solares (who, I should mention was a very close friend of Luis Bunuel), and written by his son, Adolfo, this film wades into very rarified waters. Only Satánico Pandemonium has a massive amount of Satanism to go along with all the nudity, stabbing and hot nun on nun action. What is nunsploitation you ask? Simply put, it is a bunch of naked, lesbian nuns murdering each other in a convent.

And Satánico Pandemonium, aka La Sexorcista, has nunsploitation in spades. “Nunsploitation.” That’s probably my favorite word in the English language.
