Luciferina

The story is a complicated, layered character study folded in a supernatural, demonic nightmare. At times the movie stumbles through continuity with the many micro-plotlines bridging toward a climactic end. However it maintains enough controlled focus to allow the overall story arc to hold together. It's steady pace creates a slow-burn suspense.

The cinematography is a delicious blend of neo-Gothic settings and devilishly creepy occult imagery. Calzada focuses his energy on taking these characters and the audience through a cavalcade of haunting, eerie locations that create an epic and entertaining atmosphere. The practical and CGI effects are equally superb and the camera isn't shy about showing the visceral horrors.

Overall "Luciferina" is well worth watching, and for fans of occult horror it packs a punch. It blends Catholic concepts of evil with tribal mysticism and pagan mythology. It also creates one heck of a demonic horror show complete with a sexorcism that is totally metal.

Another terrible horror about a Nun, since the release of the 'The Nun (2018)' which is part of the conjuring universe, there is suddenly a rash of bad movies about nuns.... this happens everytime a movie comes out, everyone wants to try and cash in, but fail miserably! This is one the worst! Another example is, 'The Crooked Man' another rip off of the conjuring 2!

STOP IT! Come up with something original for god sake! I should also add, sticking the word 'American' in front of random horror buzz words is another favourite of these band wagon desperados! Get off! We don't want crap movies that steal ideas from top movies!

This stank worse than the inside of a sumo wrestlers thong!

Well, usually Argentina puts out some quality creative drama, but this time - ughhh! Still another demon possession - a been done too-many-times-before script. 1. Usual person wearing a goat's head. 2. Usual CGI or contact lenses - blue eyes if kinda good; red if a real baddie. Usual fake scary demonic teeth for demon possessed. 3. Usual demonic voices in the background or growling demonic voice from the possessed. 4. Usual old big house in a secluded environment. 5. Usual lots of insects - big cockroaches here; also found in the usual strange opening in closet, of course. 6. Usual old garden w/strange tree and sculptures; next to cemetery w/more sculptures. 7. Usual semi-dead ghostly women jumping closer to our innocent nun. 8. Usual lots of lit candles surrounding our future victims; pentagrams on floor or body. To be Argentinian they have an indigenous, face painted, shaman with drumming & chants. 9. Usual pregnant (by whom we wonder) women w/usual upcoming child sacrifice. Conclusion: About the only thing scary is seeing fake colored eyes & teeth for a few minutes other than that a few people are toast, but we don't see it happen. Film mentions Mahonin, a late 1500s name (given by Catholic exorcists) for a demon possessing a French women.

It is about a girl who can see auras. She is in bad terms with her father and sister. Nevertheless, she goes with the latter and a bunch of her sister's friends to a secluded abandoned orphanage in a island to take ayahuasca-an hallucinogen drug. As expected, things start to become weird after they take the drug-thing that takes a lot.

At the beginning it does not look right although from the introduction of the second part, the end of the character's presentation, gets better. But in the end it is too long and sinks like a rock at sea.

I had little to none interest in seeing the end so I fast-forwarded from more or less and hour and so. Nothing interesting so I am rating it with a three and a half rounding up-as usual-to a four.

This is a nice gem to add to your horror repertoire. The acting is great, the cinematography was solid, and the story was good. I did feel towards the end it got a little muddled (as far as cohesiveness is concerned), but it was a nice spin either the Devil concept and not just a simple possession movie. Definitely worth a watch.
