Review of Bad Sister

Bad Sister (2015 TV Movie)
8/10
Saint Sophia? Or Toxic Tramp?
5 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Sister Sophia was recognized as "Nun of the Year" in Missoula, Montana. But as she was transferring to California to teach at St. Adeline's prep school, she was murdered and impersonated by a sociopath.

The predatory Sister Sophia imposter has her evil sights set on young Jason Brady, a student at the prep school with a lovely tenor voice and a promising career as a singer. There is an early scene in the film where Sister Sophia takes a tube of lipstick away from a student named Sara Croft. The nun experiments with it in her living quarters. The lipstick is appropriately named Toxic Tramp.

In this outrageous narrative, Sister Sophia has no difficulty in seducing young Jason. But it turns out that she has major problems in keeping him on her leash because he has a conscience. In one of the more inventive scenes in the film, Jason goes to confessional to admit that he committed fornication. But it turned out that he was speaking behind the screen to Sophia, who then switched over to the confessional booth to have a reprise session of fornication.

One of the most interesting characters in the film is Jason's little sister Zoe, a quick-thinking and wise-beyond-her-years kid sister looking out for her older bro. Zoe is suspicious right away when Sophia is unable to recount the morning prayer in class.

One of the best scenes was the bonding between father and son, when Jason spoke with his dad on a street corner bus stop. The father finally realized that his son had a calling as a singer and musician and even admitted that he was wrong in pushing the lad to attend college.

There was an excellent performance by the actress playing the vamp who is able to pull the wool over the eyes of Sister Rebecca and the school authorities. She took (or, more aptly, stole) the cloth because of Jason, in the process taking an innocent life and going on a rampage that seriously injured Sara Croft. It was due to the little sparkplug Zoe and Jason's conscience that the interloper was exposed as the bad sister.
