Nunsploitation. The fact that such a thing exists may surprise all but the most rabid film geeks. It exists. While maybe not as well-known as Blaxploitation, or women-in-prison films, it probably achieves the same amount of recognition as other sub-genres of exploitation cinema such as Naziploitation. In Nude Nuns With Big Guns, director Joseph Guzman pushes the already questionable boundaries of taste associated with the genre into a realm that god himself dare not tread. Sister Sarah, kidnapped by the ruthless motorcycle gang Los Muertos, is held captive as slave labor in their brothel, all the while drugged into submission. Following a brutal attack, Sr. Sarah manages to escape and exact revenge on all who have wronged her. In doing so, she discovers a conspiracy that leads right up to the hierarchy of the church. Guzman and company, having already proven themselves capable of recreating the look and feel of a classic grindhouse movie with their previous film Run Bitch Run!, hold nothing sacred here. The boobs and the blood fly early on and show no sign of abating as the ridiculous narrative hurtles forward. The title says it all: Nude Nuns With Big Guns. Don't say you didn't get what you came for.-Kevin Monahan
