Defined in the glossary: Nunsploitation
D'Amato's convent, where the theology is a coat-hook for the softcore.
Joe D'Amato does nunsploitation as pure commerce: a demon gets loose in a seventeenth-century convent and every sister is out of her habit inside ten minutes, the possession plot serving strictly as a rail between softcore set-pieces. This is the strand the glossary here files under selling a poster, where the theology is set dressing and the running time gets filled accordingly. D'Amato shoots it handsomely and means none of it.
The nun cycle with the theology sanded all the way off.

Far angrier and more political than the packaging suggests.

Anita Ekberg, morphine, and a plot that gives up around the hour mark.
