Contents
The American title refers to Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left, and Alexandra Heller-Nicholas stated how "combining the nunsploitation subgenre with rape-revenge, the film deviates plot-wise from The Last House on the Left substantially, but arrives at a similar ethical conclusion".
It was argued that the final scene of the movie inspired the final scene in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.

Roberto Curti, author of Italian Crime Filmography 1968-1980 described the film as "performing very poorly in the Italian box office". It grossed a total of 25.4 million Italian lira on its theatrical release.
Reception
Roberto Curti stated that the film was one of the sleaziest sexploitation films. Curti noted that the plot progression was minimal, and what was left was "a succession of grim, misogynist and exploitative scenes: adolescent nudes, slow motion sodimizations, vicious wounds, assorted killings."
