La suora del peccato

This is the film that got me addicted to LMN. Over the top, 90210-like drama (with extra murder) encapsulated in a glorious 2 hour package. Like its ilk, you can ignore the last minute or two of network interference, and bask in the glory of sex-crazed nunnery-sin with exceedingly pretty people and cheese galore.

This movie isn't amazing or anything, but it's entertaining enough. It's perfect for when you're in the mood for something suspenseful and creepy, but nothing too serious. The acting is pretty decent for a Lifetime movie. I would recommend giving it a chance if you're looking for something simple and entertaining. If you're looking for an Oscar-worthy film, then keep looking.

A nut job obsesses about a singer student in a Catholic high school. So she pretends to be the new teacher / nun and sets out to seduce him. Sounds exploitative and corny? Yes it does but who cares - it's entertainment.

The actress who plays the nun Alyshia Ochse is quite good reminds a bit of Olivia Wilde. Her antics are kept plausible. Nothing unbelievable even by Lifetime type obsession standards - yet they are pretty amusing when they happen. Sometimes it seems sacrilegious but then you have to remember she isn't playing a nun - she is playing someone impersonating a nun. Devon Werkheiser as the object of her affections is suitably tempted and repulsed by her.

Well done enough for this kind of thriller - wonder what other type of psycho they will think of next?

'Bad Sister' has a wildly uneven tone. It ranges from petty plot pieces that would be right at home in a soap opera, like planting drugs and alcohol on people, right through to murder. The problem is that all of it is done in a completely uninteresting way. I understand these Lifetime movies have a lot of restrictions on them in terms of the level of violence, language and sexuality they can show, but all that means is that they have to be more creative in terms of their writing. Unfortunately this was about as cliché and unoriginal as you will ever get in modern film.

The character of 'Sister Sophia' (otherwise known as 'Bad Sister') was the only thing really carrying this. She was mildly well played by Alyshia Ochse, who definitely pulled off the sexy side of the character, and gave a decent dig at the evil side of things. She wasn't given a lot to work with in the script admittedly, so I'm going to give her a pass mark. Unfortunately, as far as positives go, there is nothing else worthy of mention here. An altogether forgettable experience that is not worth your time or effort.

This is hysterical camp, with circa 2017 eyebrows. Anyone with eyes can see this female is not a real nun, and that she likes sex. A lot. Really a lot.

No spoilers here, but it is strange that the evil sister is the only young and good looking "nun" at the school.

So strange that she doesn't know the basic conventions of the religion, ie praying before meals?

This bad sister is willing to go to any psychopathic extremes to get her "needs" met.

Overall, this film is a bad taste twist on the Catholic priests of great notoriety, who preyed mostly on little boys.

The film depicts a "relationship" between a "nun" and a young man of indeterminate age, but well past puberty.

Lifetime movies at its' very best, or worst, depending on your point of view.
