Nude Nuns with Big Guns (2010)

Directed by Joseph Guzman

Runtime 91 minutes

Co-written (with Robert James Hayes II) and directed by Joseph Guzman (Run! Bitch Run! {2009}), Nude Nuns with Big Guns is one of those films that I thought I would love, based on my experience with nunsploitation films, but it turned out to be just average.

Sister Sarah (Asun Ortega) took her vows with a church/convent that ended up part of a drug ring. The nuns were abused and forced to do all of the work of cutting and packaging the drugs while the priests and Mother Magda (Emma Messenger) collected all of the money. Sister Sarah is handed over to the big dealer Chavo (David Castro) when a delivery doesn’t go as planned. She is shot full of heroin and put to work as a prostitute. After being beaten by Brother John...

If there's one question you have about this movie, it's probably, "Is the title accurate?" And the answer is a resounding "Yes." There are lots of nuns. Most of them are...

Denver Underground Film Festival

The Denver Underground Film Festival is changing things up a bit this year, namely moving its screening dates up a few months. The fest will run May 18-20 instead of its usual late autumn / early winter dates.

This is also a short films only festival, accepting movies that are 30 minutes or less. But, they are looking for short films in all applicable genres and breaking things into these categories: Narrative, Experimental, Animated, Documentary and Music Video.

To get an idea of the kinds of films they like, it’s probably best to check out last year’s list of award winners, which comes with general descriptions of why they won. You can also look at last year’s full lineup here.

Since the fest is running earlier than normal this year, here at Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film, we’ve missed posting their Early Bird Deadline.

Pure exploitation trash with a veneer of style.

Catholic schoolgirls, Rebecca (Christina DeRosa) and the virginal Catherine (Cheryl Lyone) are selling bibles door to door to raise money for school when they knock on the door of the wrong house at the wrong time.

In the house is gang leader and pimp, Lobo, played by Peter Tahoe who has just shot and killed one of his ‘girls’ for stealing his drugs. Lobo and his gang kidnap the girls, and Rebecca is killed while being forced to play Russian roulette. Catherine is then taken out to the woods where she is raped and left for dead.

Naked, she eventually stumbles onto the highway where she is picked up by a passing motorist and taken to a hospital. Soon she recovers, and feels compelled to exact her revenge on her assailants.

If you think you’ve heard this story before,...

For their 5th annual event, which is set to run Sept. 8-11, the Sydney Underground Film Festival is looking a little more demented than ever. And that’s saying a lot for this scrappy, still relatively young fest, which typically offers ample twisted cinematic offerings.

The fun kicks off with the Opening Night film, the demented superhero comedy Super, written and directed by former Troma go-to screenwriter James Gunn (Tromeo & Juliet); then ends with the Closing Night wallowing in Sydney’s seedy underbelly, X, by homegrown filmmaker Jon Hewitt.

Crammed between these two excursions into violence and depravity is a lineup filled with perverse visions, scandalous public figures, sickening horror, experimental pop culture remixes and more.

For Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film, the highlight of the fest is Usama Alshaibi‘s Profane, a complex psychological, psychosexual, spiritual morality play about a Muslim sex worker who endures a “reverse...

Bill Oberst Jr. is the definition of “the horror actor”, the working actor doesn’t prefer anything outside of the horror genre and wouldn’t have it any other way. Oberst has some cool projects in the works including Vivid and Legend of the Red Reaper, he shares some stories about working on True Blood and MTV’s upcoming horror series Death Valley. The actor keeps busy for sure! Check out my latest Versus with Bill Oberst Jr. to learn more about this hard working cool actor.

Brian S- First off you've really been cranking out film projects since 2007. How'd you get into acting?

Bill Oberst Jr.- I was a bizarre-looking kid who loved monsters and the other kids made fun of me. I learned a useful equation: "If You Entertain People, They Will Not Hit You." So my whole career has pretty much been about trying to get people not to hit me.

Upon taking her vows to become a nun, Sister Sarah is abused, brainwashed and drugged into submission by the corrupt clergy. On the verge of death from a lethal dose of drugs, Sister Sarah receives a message from God telling her to take vengeance on all those who did her wrong. Armed with God’s will and an arsenal of big guns, she dispenses Judgment Day on her former tormentors.

How about a little Nunsploitation to kick off the weekend? Nude Nuns With Big Guns is directed by Joseph Guzman, the same person who brought us the 2009 exploitation flick Run! Bitch Run!. The movie follows Sister Sarah, who is abused, brainwashed and drugged into submission by a corrupt clergy. Armed with God's will and an arsenal of big guns, Sarah dispenses Judgment Day on her former tormentors. When the church hires the merciless motorcycle gang the "Los Muertos" to track down and kill her, they soon realize that this Sister Is One Bad Mother!

Think back to Robert De Niro (Heat). Think back to Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman). Robert De Niro was known for his intensity. Al Pacino was known for his flashy screen presence. Now think of veteran character actor of horror films, Bill Oberst Jr. (Dismal, Vivid, The Devil Within). Bill Oberst Jr. has both the flash of Pacino and the intensity of De Niro. It's the best of both worlds in one package. And directors and producers are taking notice. In less then four years, Bill Oberst Jr. has had well over thirty film credits. Since he works his fair share in the horror genre, he is often seen playing the villain or the creepy guy or even, on occasion, the rapist. However, Bill Oberst Jr. wants you to know that their is more to him then just that. That he has an extra layer of dimensionality. That he's not just one note.

Bill Oberst Jr. in NachtBill Oberst Jr. was a stage actor for twelve years before moving to Hollywood. His three years in California have proven successful as he has starred in over thirty titles of various genres. However, Bill freely admits that: "horror is my bread and butter." 2010 saw him star in the thrillers The Devil Within and Nude Nuns with Big Guns. 2011 will see this Southern born gentleman starring in varying genres, including Chris Eska's upcoming feature September Morning and in The Asylum's Princess and the Pony.

Here, Bill talks about how the camera's interpretation of his movements and characteristics have funneled his acting talents into playing the villain. He also gives us insight into some of his other projects like the horror feature Dismal and the upcoming Amish drama "The Shunning." So, listen in to Bill's interview, as he gives aspiring actors and actresses some well informed advice,...

Okay, so this week we have covered the "Top Five Indie Horror Films," with an article found here: Best Indie Horror Films of 2010. Also covered was the "Top Five International Horror Films." An article on this posting is here: Top Five International Films. But, now we are exploring a more depraved side of horror, or a lower class of film. This top five list will cover the "Worst Five Horror Films of 2010!"

This year, there was so much to choose from in poor horror films. Abroad, we have the dismal Basement starring Danny Dyer and Jimi Mistry to the absolutely monstrosity of a film from Australia called Outback aka Prey starring the incapable Natalie Bassingthwaighte. Domestically, films like the Zombie Chronicles: The Infected made this reviewer want to scratch his eyes out, while others like Apocalypse of the Dead aka Zone of the Dead made one reach for the off button with lightening like reflexes.

Sometimes you have to go low brow to get the message out and today is a day for those indie horror fans who like boobs and blood. Nude Nuns with Big Guns will be having a premiere November 3rd in Santa Monica at the

Boobs and Blood wrap up event. This is a charity sponsored event for Bowling for Boobies, which is a cause valiantly fighting breast cancer. The film itself pits one abused nun against a corrupt clergy, with guns and sex appeal the only way to salvation. So, support healthy breasts everywhere, and a great film, by ordering your tickets soon (this showing will undoubtedly sell out). More details below.

The synopsis for the film:

"Sister Sarah takes her vows to become a nun. She is then abused, brainwashed and drugged into submission by a corrupt clergy. On the verge of death from a lethal dose of drugs,...

Nnwbg PosterThis is an independent film which has been making a lot of buzz for mixing sexuality with spirituality, especially Catholicism. Nude Nuns with Big Guns offers more than controversy however, as Sister Sarah is tormented in this first trailer for the film. This is a mature clip, since Sarah is drugged, stripped and left for dead. But much like Jesus she returns from near death to prove that she "is one bad mother!" (Camelot). Check out the clip below.

For fun, let us do another breakdown of passive and active sentence structure for this synopsis for Nude Nuns with Big Guns. (P) represent passive sentences, which should be avoided. Other grammatical errors will be pointed out to get more people on a better grammatically correct track. Active sentences are much more effective for getting your point across and for persuading audiences/readers. They also make sentences more concise (shorter...

'Nude Nuns with Big Guns' doesn't need much of an endorsement other than what its title suggests -- sexy servants of God wielding wicked guns. Joseph Guzman's latest about a vengeful nun on a rampage looks like part nunsploitation, part mexploitation and all entertaining. If you still have exploitation fever after Rodriguez's 'Machete' then this one should cure what ails you.

Asun Ortega stars as Sister Sarah, who is abused, brainwashed and drugged by the corrupt clergy of her church. While that might sound like a good time to some of you, Sister Sarah makes it her mission to track down those who wronged her -- after God told her to, of course. She quickly develops a bad habit for big guns and hunts her tormentors like prey in the ultimate battle between good versus evil. The church has other plans,...

If you have Netflix and are a horror fan in need of something to watch this Labor Day weekend, one look at this gargantuan list I compiled of the new terror titles Netflix has added for instant streaming in just the first three days of this month should keep you busy until Labor Day next year. You'll find something for everyone, from older titles to recent releases, famous to obscure, classic to not-so-classic, monsters to maniacs - you name it.

For the record, I considered compiling this list in alphabetical order or by year of the film's release, but then I realized I had already spent well over an hour just sorting through the massive catalogue of titles Netflix has now made available for instant streaming and realized Labor Day would be over by the time I finished arranging this list in any kind of order. Ready? Here you go.

Joseph Guzman on set of NNWBGJoseph Guzman has been behind the camera in several roles, while always working his way to the director's chair. During his time as a filmmaker Guzman has worked as producer on the short film Spyware, the supernatural thriller Chingaso the Clown, and the feature Driving Bill Crazy in 2008. His first feature as a director was the ultra-violent Run! Bitch Run!, which starred Christina DeRosa and Cheryl Lyone. This film involved two Catholic schoolgirls on the run from crazed drug dealers. Guzman has also worked as an art director on several films and his latest film is called Nude Nuns with Big Guns. This film is slated for a 2010 release and Nude Nuns takes off the habits of many of the female characters in exchange for long barrelled weaponry.

Brown, a friend of Bell's fiancée, says she 'handled everything so gracefully.'

Four years after a shooting left an unarmed Sean Bell dead (on the eve of his wedding) and two of his friends wounded following a tragic incident with New York City police, the city has agreed to pay $7 million dollars to settle a federal lawsuit filed by Bell's family and his friends.

According to The New York Times, in the early hours of November 25, 2006, five New York City police officers fired 50 shots into the car Bell — who was to be married that day — was driving outside a club in Queens, New York. The car reportedly struck a detective in the leg and hit a police van before the officers began firing. None of the three men in the car — Bell and his friends Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield — were armed,...

Believe it or not, I’ve actually lost count of how many exploitation homages we’re currently dealing with at the moment, though you won’t hear me complaining about it. As an avid fan of 70’s and early-80’s cinema, I eat this sort of dodgy entertainment for breakfast, lunch, and, depending on the week, dinner. Joseph Guzman’s “Run! Bitch Run!” seemingly follows in the footsteps of such cinematic fodder as “Black Dynamite,” “Black Devil Doll,” and Ti West’s superior “The House of the Devil,” offering up plenty of retro entertainment that promises to be just as low-brow and low-budget as the countless motion pictures which inspired it. The film looks promising, though it’s anybody’s guess if the damned thing will be worth the price of admission. For the curious, a synopsis: Catherine and Rebecca are two Catholic School girls going door-to-door selling Religious paraphernalia...
