L'École du péché

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?

What the heck I've just watched !!

When you make a movie with 1000$ budget, the result will be something like this one ,I think.

There is nothing rational in this movie at all. Low-quality directing and acting. I really don't konw what to say, but whoever wrote the scenario, he has clearly shown us an extremely low experience in his job. I mean, for God sake, a 8 years old child would write a better organized scenario than this one.

'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.

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.

Jason Brady is trying to clean up after an incident. He and his sister Zoe return to St. Adeline's Catholic School for the new year. Sister Sophia White is a highly recommended new teacher. She's especially obsessed with Jason over his internet music postings. She seduces the teen and plants evidences against the kids.

This is salacious cheese. It starts with the Toxic Tramp lip gloss and the red lingerie. Any suspense is dispensed with after the first fifteen minutes as everything is revealed. The story is predictable. The actors are perfectly fine but nothing exceptional. It's a bad Lifetime movie or maybe even worst.
