Satan, Sex and Sisterhood - Alucarda review by griggs
A Sapphic, vampiric, satanic folk horror that also doubles as a nunsploitation public information film — Alucarda is a fever dream only the 1970s could have produced. It feels as if Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ken Russell joined forces to out-blaspheme one another. Blood gushes, nuns shriek, and somewhere amid the hysteria is a warning about what happens when passion and faith collide.
Director Juan López Moctezuma shoots the convent like a pressure cooker for repression — a place where innocence curdles into guilt the moment desire appears. The friendship between Alucarda and Justine starts as tender and ends in possession, exorcism, and mass hysteria. It’s less about Satan than what society does to women who dare to feel too much.
Every frame drips with candles, crucifixes, and chaos. The acting swings from hypnotic to hysterical, the imagery from grotesque to gorgeous. Uneven, lurid, but shot through with conviction, Alucarda is the perfect mix of pulp and provocation — proof that when repression and religion share a roof, the devil hardly needs to knock.
