Justine Smith [is] a Canadian film critic, former Catholic schoolgirl and writer of two nun-infused porn films. She defines nunsploitation as a niche within the exploitation film genre, "A vague category that sells itself on sensationalism or controversy. Nunsploitation is very close to women-in-prison films, focusing on women who are almost exclusively cloistered, rather than a nun out there living her life"..."Sex, very often lesbian sex, although not exclusively. Often torture. Self-flagellation is very common, as are psychedelic elements because you have hallucinations in the form of visions that may or may not be real."
