Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Ian West – ★★½
   “Probably the most well known film from the recent Forgotten Gialli boxset and one that I’ve seen before, The Sister of Ursula is solid Jes Franco-esque giallo sleaze that leans more into the erotic side of things… it looks great, has a solid score, and features Barbara Magnolfi (who I love) doing her thing (and doing it well) but i dunno… it just doesn’t have enough pizazz to launch itself into the upper echelons of euro sleaze thriller royalty. It’s ok—definitely has its moments but I’d probably only recommend it to giallo diehards.”
2. Slig001 – ★★★
   “This is a late entry Giallo, released after the genre had peaked and producers obviously thought there was more craving for sleazy sex films than murder mysteries. Hence, Sister of Ursula has more sex than murder. The plot focuses on two sisters who travel to a hotel looking for an inheritance, but there is a murderer picking off the various women in the area. This film is most memorable for the murder weapon – a huge dildo – although the murders themselves are not particularly memorable. On the plus side, the film is absolutely gorgeous to look at, with some stunning locations and beautiful women. The score is also very good, with a catchy main theme. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but worth a watch for fans of the genre.”
