Those looking for the typical sex and nudity expected in a nunsploitation film need to look elsewhere. This one is pure horror, with a genital removal starting the blood-fest.The evil Mother Vincenza (Franca Stoppi) provides the best performance despite the outrageous lines given to her.Father Valerio (Carlo De Mejo) is called in to investigate several murders that are reportedly the work of Satan. One suspects, along with the good father, that there is a psychopath lose in the convent. The answer may lie in the middle of both explanations.Exciting pieces with long periods of nothing in between. For serious fans of Italian horror, it will be a treat, but for others, it may not be so good.Great music throughout.

A priest is sent to a convent to investigate the sheer lunacy of a bunch of nun's gone nuts performing acts of lust and depravity. But the closer he looks into the situation the more supernatural it becomes. Does the devil roam the halls terrorizing the nuns or is it something a bit more sinister.I'll get Mattei credit; he tries to inject a little something more in your average, ordinary (nunsploitation storyline (if there is such a thing). It's not entirely successful in that regard but never-the-less he manages to pull off this entertaining but a little slow and the bit of a Stephen King twist to the ending helps it out.

A priest is sent to investigate an outbreak of apparent demonic possession at convent.There is certainly something dark and sinister at work there,but is it really Satan or maybe has it something to do with the Mother Superior's gloomy secrets?"The Other Hell" by Bruno Mattei is an atypical Italian nunsploitation flick.There is absolutely no sex or nudity,still there is a little bit of gore.The film offers some rather tasteless moments like genital mutilation or blood-vomiting nuns.The acting is terrible and the dialogue is stupid,but the film is fast-paced and surprisingly entertaining.So if you like Italian horror films give this one a look.My rating:7 out of 10 and that's being very generous.

An excellent Bruno Mattei flick! It is a fairly straight-forward account of an evil force plauging a convent. Is it the devil's influence, or something other? A determined preist sets to find out the truth. As is the case with most films that are imported from Italy (or any other country for that matter), the dubbing isn't the greatest, but if you are looking up this film, you should have some experience with this anyways. If you are a fan of "nunsplotation" genre, this MAY or MAY NOT be your cup of tea, being that there is no sex in the film at all, which may cause some fans of Mattei's work to scratch their heads. There is, however, lots of suspense, along with gory deaths, much in the Fulci/Agrento vein. Great cinematography and atmosphere, excellent use of location (look at the beginning sequence!), and it doesn't stint on the red stuff either. It ain't Deep Red or The Beyond, but, trust me, it's MUCH better than most of the stuff that is called "Horror films" nowadays.
