   - The info above for the film at Amazon states the film is 82-minutes and that it’s from Media Blasters. The version I bought with the same cover(nun, cross, naked girl) runs 94 minutes and is a 2-disc special edition from Exploitation Digital(reg.1/ntsc). However, I recently found out(from a reputable website) that my copy from Exp.Dig. is missing a 3-minute scene involving female masturbation.
   
   - The second disc includes a 65-min. documentary/interview called “Totally Uncut: The Erotic Films of Joe D’Amato”(it’s english sub-titled and rather explicit). Actually, on the back of the dvd it says-90 minutes, but i used my time/text option on the film and it says 65. Extras inclued an explicit trailer reel of 10 of his films(original full-length trailers it looks like, but don’t hold me to it), plus a nice photo gallery.
   
   - I’m no dvd-phile expert, but for a late 70′s film, the picture and sound quality is quite good. It looks fairly sharp and crisp. The sub-titles are easy to read, and it’s presented in a nice widescreen transfer(1.85:1). The fleshtones look really good.
   
   - Speaking of which, the film itself is only average with a head-scratching or eye-rolling induced ending. But the erotic scenes involving attractive, naked, nuns kissing and caressing each other more than make up for the films shortcomings. Although i must admit i was taken off-guard by the rape scene that started out as a rape scene and ended up being rather x-rated. The film is rather explicit(ranges from NC-17 to X at times but don’t worry, it never reaches bad porno level) as the warning on the back of the dvd said, but just the sudden explicitness during THIS un-erotic scene was strange.

   Despite the missing scene in question, and the discrepancy in the run-time of the documentary, I still say this 2-disc special edition is well worth the price I paid for it. For well under 20 bucks, this is one of the best sexploitation dvd’s you could possibly have in your collection. Highly recommended for the sexually-charged erotic scenes, the documentary, the bonus trailers, and the low affordable price.

   This has to be the finest Joe D’amato movie I have seen. My anticipation for this film was rock bottom after a recent viewing of the utterly awful Tough to Kill. The only other D’amto movie I rate would be Death Smiles at Murder.
   
   If nuns in heat is your kind of erotica, Images in a Convent is a must own.
   
   Instead of what I expected to see, a rough and ugly picture with little erotic charge, instead the subject matter is handled with sensuality, and a degree of serious intent. Helped along by D’amto’s cinematography and a hypnotic electronic score, which complements the visuals. Nuns desperate for sexual gratification, too much isolation, working themselves and each other into a climax.
   
   Thankfuly the sex remains erotic rather than pornographic although there are some fairly strong scenes through-out, including a rape, but never do they become ugly.
   
   The soundtrack really works magic on this movie, and the whole affair imbues a haunting spare quality upon the viewer.
   
   If your looking for some nuns in heat, this is well worth the price of admission.
   
   Dvd is a two disc set and for the price very good value.
   
   Perhaps best not shown to any devout Catholics, or other religious zealots, then again…….they might get furtive and renounce their faith.

   When you’re talking convent movies, you’re looking for a lot of lezzing out followed by remorse and self-flagellation or they get caught by mother superior, and get flagellated that way. This chestnut from way back totally delivers on the nun to nun action, kind of a soft “x” treatment, munch out city. Of course, it’s 1979, so there’s not a lot of hardwood, we’re taking serious carpet. Even the obligatory dude who’s wounded/sick and brought into the convent to recover is a pretty furry sort.

   Hirsute issues aside, we got multiple extended scenes; nun munching, a whipped back lick, a forest rape with hot dogs, a hide the icon scene, lots of carpet rubbing and nudity up the ying yang, which counted for a lot more in the 70′s than now of course. There’s some plot, but it’s not in English and the subtitles dissapear when you fast forward, so that’s not a problem. Something missing? You bet, especially from a sex sleaze standpoint – where’s the flagellating?? No bathing scenes either, but we’ll let that slide.

   So, 3 stars for all the sex, 1 star for the NTRL factor (nudity to total running length, although it’s short), with a one star demotion for zero nun whipping. Worth a look.

   After viewing many exploitation films, this gem has got to be the cream of the crop! It ‘feels’ like you’re watching a European flick that finally made it through the cracks of the U.S. censorship board without being heavily axed (though there’s nothing on the packaging to indicate this movie is ‘uncut’). Though I don’t think this type of movie is intended to be taken to seriously, the incredible musical score helps to make it feel like you’re watching a mainstream production, and only enhances it’s production value overall. It is explicit and not for those easily offended. The second bonus disc is another plus.
