4.0 out of 5 stars Short Film VS Movie-quite a difference!, January 15, 2010

This review is from: Nun of That (DVD)

I should have questioned when viewing on the Net why Nun of That the movie had a 2 Minute Trailer & a four & a half minute trailer. Yes I bamboozled myself into thinking the Nun of That short film ( that inspired the movie) was the trailer for the actual film & boy was I surpised when a lot of the scenes from the NOT short story simply didn't happen at all in the movie. Still after getting over my bout of confusion & checking the actual trailer I realised it was very true to the movie. Both versions noted above are included on this DVD, which I recommend.My only critique of the movie is that it wasn't the laughfest the originator was. Yes it had it's moments but it got a little too dark in places & when it did the comedy damage control was a little slow arriving. Sara Nicklin's Nun garb as well underwent a slight modification between the 2 versions. You decide if that matters or not. The DVD has lots of trailers, commentaries from the creators & actors as well as a behind the making of the movie feature. All in all a pretty entertaining production. They accomplished a lot here with a small budget. This movie will attain cult status some day but because of blood & gore as well as handling sensitive themes it will be a while before it gets to your TV screen. A good reason I think to buy your DVD now & Sara Nicklin is exceptional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blasphemy CAN be funny!, January 3, 2010

This review is from: Nun of That (DVD)

Caught this at a local screening. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Richard Griffin Masterpiece!, January 3, 2010

This review is from: Nun of That (DVD)

If you haven't heard of Richard Griffin (and Scorpio Films), he's an independent filmmaker from RI. (Check out his other work, such as Return to the Dunwich Horror, Splatter Disco, Pretty Dead Things)The man can write anything from straight-up horror to slapstick. This film falls into more of the humor category, with some nun violence thrown in for good measure. The cast does a great job portraying these rather over the top characters so that the audience still connects with them. All I can say is, who could possibly say no to a musical number sung by Jesus himself? Do yourself a favor and check it out!
