Irmã do Pecado

Well, once you get past how ludicrous the storyline actually is, then "Bad Sister" is actually an entertaining enough movie for what it turned out to be.

But I am getting ahead of myself here.

I sat down to watch the 2015 movie "Bad Sister" from writer Barbara Kymlicka and director Doug Campbell without ever having heard about it. And given the fact that I've never seen it was actually sufficient enough to make me sit down to watch it.

And I must admit that I was actually entertained by the movie. Sure, it was predictable and generic, and the storyline was just so far out there and implausible that you just can't help but shrug at it. But the movie, in terms of being entertaining, actually managed to deliver well enough.

The acting in "Bad Sister" was adequate, and I found Alyshia Ochse, playing Laura/Sister Sophia, to actually carry the movie quite well with her performance as a rather deluded and compulsive maniac and stalker. I think I've seen her once or twice before, but she has never really caught my attention, but she did perform well enough in "Bad Sister".

"Bad Sister" is the type of movie that you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, what will happen and how the ending will be. Yeah, the movie was actually that predictable, and writer Barbara Kymlicka was definitely playing it safe by following a very generic formula.

All in all, I was entertained by what "Bad Sister" brought to the table, and I am rating it a six out of ten stars. While not an outstanding moment in cinema history, the movie was watchable and enjoyable enough.

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.

Probably could have been an anthological short story, but this served its purpose as entertainment. It ended up being a predictable and there weren't any surprises for the viewer. There needed to be more shocking thrills, but overall it was enjoyable.

I think the actors put a lot of chutzpah into this project and there were some casual scenes with romance and humor to keep the movie flowing seamlessly. Devon Werkheiser is highly talented as a musician and actor, and was able to work effortlessly off his cast mates here. Alyshia Ochse was great as a two-faced character: seductive yet deceitful.

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.

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?
