Description: Sister Gertrude (Anita Ekberg who starred in Fangs Of The Living Dead) works in a psychiatric hospital at the monastery.

Review: In the second half of the 70s of the last century the popularity of giallo in Italy began to plummet, but it was not on yet gone. In addition, to maintain spectator interest has always been possible to use the services of any other genre of “operational” movie, adding plot certain elements, reinforcing intrigue and thus luring in theaters thousand or other spectators
However, this is all the lyrics to the film “Killer Nun” Giulio Berruti has no relations. This film of a number of their own kind does not particularly stand out, and remembered only the aging former Miss Sweden Anita Ekberg in the lead role but rather a bizarre mix of giallo genre and nunsploitation. However, the effect of the picture is quite meet the expectations of the viewer: it is sufficiently intense, almost never sags, intrigue remains until the last minute, and the Swedish star as Sister Gertrude, in general, do not let us down. As for the supposedly claimed psichology story, it is just enough to not slip into the trash absolutely frank. Although the choice of the second lead role (sister Matilda) Alida Valli (Beyond Erotica), specializing in a simple erotic comedies, right at this very clearly hints trash.
For giallo in «Suor Omicidi», of course, is not enough suspects … Actually, from the first minutes of the film the viewer no doubt that the perpetrator of a series of murders that take place in a mental institution – a sister, Gertrude, who suffers from a mental disorder, ready to do anything for the morphine , besides experiencing pathological passion for sadism
