A brilliant film that helped define a genre
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Laughed my butt off. this effort by director Richard Griffin has an excellent sense of irony and irreverent humor combined with excellent comic pacing. I recommend seeing it more than once since you will very likely be laughing thru half the jokes the first time around. It's the story of an order of vigilante nuns (The Black Habit) with a special penchant for dealing justice out to evil mobsters. There's some soft-core nudity (always nice) and every conceivable variation of nun jokes and religious humor in general. The violence is over the top bloody without being a gorefest. Normally I'm not one for musical numbers, but this has some real rib ticklers. Where else are you going to laugh when Jesus does a song and dance with a bevy of leather-clad nuns providing backup? What's really tasty is the cast. Sarah Nicklin simmers with sexual attitude, Brand Aponte is perfect as the angry mob avenger and the rest of the cast CAN ACTUALLY ACT! Incredible in a low budget film, I know, but it's true. This is one of the big redeeming factors here where most low budget efforts fall flat. Don't get my wrong, I'm a big fan of badly acted low budget features. But in those instances the bad acting is the reason I laugh. I have a very MST3000 sense of humor. But not so here. Mr. Griffin has managed to corral some real talent and it makes all the difference. One laughs at the jokes, not at the acting. With him, not at him. So do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Unless you're devoutly religious, you'll have a great time. And even if you are and have a sense of humor, you could still find yourself in stitches.

Nun of That is one of those Movies that make Indie Film Makers think "Damn! Why didn't I think of that?"Nuns in a 70's Style Kung Fu Revenge Grindhouse Exploitation Film with comedy tossed in. In the wrong hands this would NOT work but Scorpio Films Releasing executed it heavenly.It starts Sara Nicklin, who plays Sister Kelly Wrath. Cult fans of 70's Exploitation films would think Pam Grier worthy performance. I could see Sister Wrath kicking ass right next to Foxy Brown. And she basically does with Shanette Wilson as Sister Lust. I won't give any spoilers away but Sister Lust lives up to her name. Ruth Sullivan and Alexandra Cipolla round out the gang of Vigilante Nuns as Sister Gluttony and Sister Pride. Stellar Performances, Great Comedic timing and of course more ass kicking action.And that's just the Vigilante Nuns! The rest of the cast is beyond spectacular, they're down right groovy. I don't want to ruin it, you must see this movie!

I had the pleasure of seeing Richard Griffin's new film "Nun of That" this past weekend and I am happy to say that it is one of the best comedies I have seen in a long time! The story is fresh, the dialog is witty, the acting is top notch, the cinematography is fantastic and the action sequences are thrilling. A special round of applause goes to Sarah Nicklin as the ass-kickin' Sister Wrath and Michael Reed as Jesus & Satan (wouldn't know it was the same guy)...not to mention, Rich Tretheway as Mama Rizzo! Honestly, there are too many talented actors to list.This film had the audience busting out in laughter and is destined to be a huge success!

Ruggedly cute director Richard Griffin is back again with his newest movie, Nun of That. This movie had me sucking my fingertips after eating my popcorn. Frequent Griffin alum, Jason McCormick, stands out as Father Thomas with his impressive chin. While Brandon Aponte's visibly chiseled pectorals make me wish he'd carry me away in his strong arms with his dreamy piercing stare.The dashingly handsome Robert Buco plays Officer Cappicolla, just like the tasty cured meat product of the same name, I prefer the hot version of both. I'm guilty, put the cuffs on me and take me away Officer Cappicolla.As an added surprise, Troma legend Lloyd Kaufman appears as the Pope which is a must see for any of his fans.Run, don't walk, to this. Make sure to butter your popcorn first.
