By Bob Bloom The following titles are being released on Tuesday, Oct. 15, unless otherwise noted: Killer Nun (Blu-ray) Details: 1979, Arrow Video Rated: Not rated The lowdown: Anita Ekberg stars in this horror-tinged exploitation movie — supposedly is based on true events — about a nun who goes on a killing spree. Ekberg is Sister Gertrude, a disturbed woman who degenerates into drug taking, sexual encounters, torture and murder. The movie is not so much a part of the “nunsploitation” genre as it is a crime thriller, as the nun in question begins taking drugs to help ease terrible migraines. The drugs seem to alter her personality and create blackouts during which the killings occur. The supporting cast includes Joe Dallesandro, Alida Valli and Paolo Morra.
