Lash of the Penitentes

45 minutes? 38 minutes? 58 minutes? I've personally seen three versions of this one and there they are. I can't quite tell what the difference is though. It seems like certain scenes were just longer. And also more repetitious.

A silent black and white schockumentary that shows up among the mondo films.

It's supposedly based on a true case but we know what THAT means.

Religious mania, whipping, fleeting nudity, and melodramatic facial expressions pretty much sums it up. But its short running time keeps it from getting boring.

There probably is no official version. The title just gets re-used when they find more similar footage.

Definitely a curiosity piece.
