2. Killer Nun (1978) - Sister Gertrude
Played with considerable evil aplomb by former Swedish sex kitten Anita Ekberg, Sister Gertrude is a fabulous immoral woman. Who knew a nun could get up to such wicked capers? Gertie is a nurse in a geriatric hospital who has recently had brain surgery. This has altered her character to that of a malicious cow. She taunts the oldies in her care by reading them horrific accounts of saints being tortured, forcing them into vigorous exercise routines, crushing an old girl's false gnashers under her feet and injecting morphine every time she can get her mitts on it. Gertrude also dresses herself up and goes cruising for non committal sex in a neighbouring town - now that is breaking her vow of celibacy. Further sexual shenanigans occur when Gertrude starts a lesbian affair with a fellow nun. She makes her wear silk stockings and intone 'I am the lowest kind of prostitute' Gertrude is so gleefully wicked and immoral, you might actually end up cheering her on in her deeds - she is so evil, it is sublime. Of all of the nunsploitation films, none of them possess a nun that is immoral as Gertrude. This is probably why everyone remembers Killer Nun, and not other nunsploitation fare such as Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun and Behind Convent Walls. Congratulations to Anita Ekberg for such a wonderful portrayal of an unscrupulous nun - probably the best immoral nun in any film ever.
