Bad Sister

This is the film that got me addicted to LMN. Over the top, 90210-like drama (with extra murder) encapsulated in a glorious 2 hour package. Like its ilk, you can ignore the last minute or two of network interference, and bask in the glory of sex-crazed nunnery-sin with exceedingly pretty people and cheese galore.

This is hysterical camp, with circa 2017 eyebrows. Anyone with eyes can see this female is not a real nun, and that she likes sex. A lot. Really a lot.

No spoilers here, but it is strange that the evil sister is the only young and good looking "nun" at the school.

So strange that she doesn't know the basic conventions of the religion, ie praying before meals?

This bad sister is willing to go to any psychopathic extremes to get her "needs" met.

Overall, this film is a bad taste twist on the Catholic priests of great notoriety, who preyed mostly on little boys.

The film depicts a "relationship" between a "nun" and a young man of indeterminate age, but well past puberty.

Lifetime movies at its' very best, or worst, depending on your point of view.

Guitar-strumming teenager Devon Werkheiser (as Jason "Jay" Brady) is unhappy with "the units" (he means his parents) deciding to send him back to Los Angeles' St. Adeline's Catholic School for another year. Although he looks clean-cut and sings soft songs, Mr. Werkheiser has been quite the rebel. He even wrecked the family car, leaving his seemingly wealthy family with only one set of wheels. Werkheiser's songs are popular on the Internet, especially with sexy Alyshia Ochse (a "Sister Sophia White"). We see a little bit of her in the opening scene. We'll see a little more when a flashback fleshes out her introduction. In short, Ms. Ochse decides to seduce Werkheiser by substituting herself for a new nun at the school...

Looking snugly sexy in her nun's uniform, Ochse is challenged by a beautiful blonde who wants to get into Werkheiser's shorts. Ochse confiscates the girl's "Toxic Tramp" lipstick. Even better, she arranges for her young student to visit the nun's quarters and see Ochse in her arousing red bikini underwear. "Bad Sister" gets even worse, revealing old sins and committing new ones...

Werkheiser's real sister, also a student at the Catholic school, smells a rat in the nunnery and tries to help her brother get off the road to ruin. Director Doug Campbell and Barbara Kymlicka know their way around the track. They deliver the usual sexy psycho, with the bare minimum of flesh permitted on US TV in the early 21st century. This is nothing special, but it's more fun than nun.

***** Bad Sister (8/24/2015) Doug Campbell ~ Alyshia Ochse, Devon Werkheiser, Ryan Newman, Helen Eigenberg

This movie isn't amazing or anything, but it's entertaining enough. It's perfect for when you're in the mood for something suspenseful and creepy, but nothing too serious. The acting is pretty decent for a Lifetime movie. I would recommend giving it a chance if you're looking for something simple and entertaining. If you're looking for an Oscar-worthy film, then keep looking.

Probably could have been an anthological short story, but this served its purpose as entertainment. It ended up being a predictable and there weren't any surprises for the viewer. There needed to be more shocking thrills, but overall it was enjoyable.

I think the actors put a lot of chutzpah into this project and there were some casual scenes with romance and humor to keep the movie flowing seamlessly. Devon Werkheiser is highly talented as a musician and actor, and was able to work effortlessly off his cast mates here. Alyshia Ochse was great as a two-faced character: seductive yet deceitful.
