SKINOPSISMost of the time Hammer Films wasted their cool atmosphere and kinky set ups with galling absences of nudity. But, the general prudishness of an entire studio isn't enough to stop the gale force wind of abundant sexuality that was Nastassja Kinki. Sure, one would think that at 16 (or 14 or 15, it's debatable how old she was when she filmed this) she would have been innocent and demure enough to be convinced to keep her clothes on, but she's a Kinski for fuck's sake. There's a reason that family's name is so damn close to "kinky." Towards the end of this film in which she's a young nun who's being targeted for demonic conversion by an evil priest (Christopher Lee) she drops the clothes for a few seconds giving up what instantly became a legendary look at her pert little boobs and absolutely fantastic teenage bush. Sure, she'd go on to get a lot more naked in Cat People and various other films, but this is her youngest and first (duh) onscreen nudity and boy is it ever sweet. -- Rick Stanko
3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
The legendary Hammer Studios brought forth this satanic horror story about a defrocked priest (Lee) who earmarks Kinski for selection as the Devil's daughter on her 18th birthday. Kinski's distraught father (Elliott) enlists the aid of an expert occultist (Widmark) and the fun begins. A kinky adventure into the unknown. Editor's Suggestions
