The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This has many things I like in a movie--a Catholic school setting with a lot of improbably mature-looking, leggy, and big-breasted Catholic schoolgirls doffing their uniforms at every opportunity, a former clean-cut TV star (Alyssa Milano) trying on an "adult" role, and, of course, David Keith as a laconic detective.The plot involves a series of murders at an isolated Catholic girls' school. David Keith is investigating. Milano plays a novice nun/secretary who helps him out. In between the murders there are a plethora of sex scenes--straight sex scenes, lesbian sex scenes, teacher-student sex scenes, David Keith-Alyssa Milano sex scenes. This isn't perhaps as racy as most erotic thrillers of 90's, but it's better acted, more competently made, and certainly more interesting. David Keith is great in this and it's hard to believe he largely vanished after this role (and before he could finally get together with Keith David and do a black-and-white buddy cop comedy). Milano was much more undraped and sexy in "Embrace of the Vampire" and "Poison Ivy 2", but she does a better ACTING job here, not being entirely unconvincing as a novice nun (who may not actually be a nun).There's also a good supporting cast including Terry Mulligan as the local veterinarian/coroner and Peter Hanlon as a creepy headmaster taking sexual advantage of his nubile students (although it's kinda hard to blame him when you see the actresses playing the "students"). I didn't recognize any of the younger supporting actresses, but being somewhat of an authority in the matter, I have to say that along with "Little Witches" this is probably the sexiest Catholic schoolgirl movie of the 90's (a genre that has regrettably vanished in the more politically correct new millennium). Recommended.

The movies which are low on story line & acting but high on meaningless violence & sex may turn off many people, who like good & decent movies. But here we are not talking about those people. A low budget thriller which often fall in B-category movies are constrained by resources. So whenever you plan to watch these kinds of movies, just keep your expectations low then surely you will enjoy these movies. So Deadly Sins falls in above mentioned category only. It has limited release & lack of publicity due to which many of you might have missed this one. So here the plot is : Girls in the catholic church are getting disappeared or killed continuously in small county. Nobody seemed responsible or being interested to whatever happened to those girls until a new sheriff steps in with the determination to find out the truth. Nothing more to mention except that Alyssa Milano as always looked very beautiful in this movie.

I only just recently discovered this movie and was glad I did. It is an excellent movie of mystery and intrigue. David Keith and Alyssa Milano where both excellent in their respective roles. The movie gives a little insight of what may be going on behind the walls of a Catholic school. Plays well on what we have all seen in the 'clicks' of any school be it public or private; The cool crowd and not so cool. But it is played in well with the concept of the movie and the mystery behind the murders. I spent most of my time trying to figure out who dun it. Which to me is a sign of a great mystery. The BC scenery adds a certain magic to the mystery as well. It was well written and well acted. I recommend this to anyone who loves a mystery.

Catholic schoolgirls are being murdered, but by whom? A very standard slasher with sometimes hilarious bad acting and a ridiculous plot. To make it even worse it is not trashy enough: during the numerous sex scenes the actresses keep on their bras (or are only filmed from the back) and all brutal murders take place off-screen. The only good things about this film are the locations and the above average cinematography.
