"Alucarda" made me feel like natural day light is disgusting for about two weeks. intensive, sickening delightful claustrophobia. And much more than just an entertaining exploitation flick.

If you know what to expect coming into Alucarda, it's not that bad. It's a ridiculous piece of exploitation cinema about Christians vs. Satan and demonic possession, with ridiculously hammy acting, but by the genre's standards it is not entirely uninspired. You can tell that an effort was made to create some evocative imagery on a low budget, and whereas in other like-minded cinema the lesbianism is more decorative, here it is interestingly a central topic.

Sustains a genuinely rotten atmosphere and only breaks it off when it feels like it just needs to go apeshit for a couple of minutes for no apparent reason. It's indefensible, over the top exploitation all the way and it even stars a teenage girl with an accent that sounds very close to Werner Herzog's. I apologize for making you all cum like that without warning.

A girl in the 1860's is sent to an orphanage run by nuns, where she befriends a girl named Alucarda and the two make a pact with the Devil that threatens to destroy the holy order. A fun Mexican exploitation flick with self flagellating nuns, torture, exorcisms, nudity, evil incantations and endless scenes of hysterical women screaming. Starts slowly but builds to an insane climactic display of Satanic pyrokinesis.

Passionate, emotional horror about two girls in love who, because of suffocating religious oppression, descend into madness and Satanism. What atmosphere! Its like a low budget Peter Greenaway with all the painterly medieval imagery. Tina Romero is mesmerizing as the title character. Criminally underrated.

There's shoddy writing and extreme overacting, but it's so over the top that it becomes a pretty entertaining exploitation film.
