I really enjoyed the demonic sex scene.
A trippy descent into occult mayhem that is unexpectedly different. It's a tad too long at 2 hours, but still does establish its bleak atmosphere by bringing stunning cinematography and an intense soundtrack while delivering a fairly unique take on the possession genre that takes repression, sexuality and salvation into directions I didn't see coming. That final act is just something else. Throughout we get a compelling arc for the sympathetic main character, ritualistic purifications, lots of sexual symbolism that serve as eerie foreshadowing for the terrors to come, and gruesome bloody murders in which hardly any eyes are left intact. It's not perfect by any means, as several characters are underused or made pointless, and at times the pacing…
Argentinian horror. Natalia returns home after learning of a tragic event and finds her father in a coma-like state and her sister ranting about evil spirits causing it. Along with a few friends, they head to some building in the jungle to attempt a spiritual cleansing.
Isabella warned against this, as it involved a prolonged demonic sex scene. So of course I had to see what that was about because...
The idea wasn't anything too new and you can kind of predict where it's headed, but boy does it takes it's sweet time getting there!
Sofía Del Tuffo was the eye-candy holding this flick together, so at least it gave me something to look at while I was waiting for…
What starts off as a promising folk horror slowly devolves into a messy disjointed possession/exorcism. The film is quite nicely shot, the technical aspects are great, and it's definitely unique but it severely lacks coherence in storytelling alongside the absence of compelling characters, which makes it really hard to be invested. Every scene feels longer than it needs to be, the story feels too disjointed to be engaging in any way, and it's pretty much devoid of any tension or scares. Add to that a laughably bad finale. Points for its unique spin on possession/exorcism subgenre which helps it stand above the rest, even not by much, but unfortunately it's a monotonous ride.
This movie is pretty rough. It's unnecessarily long, incredibly dramatic and pretty lazily cliched in some of its scares.
It's also narratively unfocused. There's a long setup hinting at a sister relationship to be an arc and the sister's cartoonishly evil boyfriend to be a conflict and both are ditched in the second half for a bunch of religious horror that wasn't as deep as it thought it was.
Not fun, not smart and definitely not scary. I can't see what anyone would get out of this.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
One of the better nunsploitation films of recent memory. By way of Argentina. This was a cool watch but a bit too long at 114 minutes. Took awhile to get going as it lingered on pointless subplots and characters that end up as demon fodder. The last 45 minutes are where this film excels. The demon possesses one of the guys in the group and goes on a rampage ripping out eyeballs while chasing around the final girl. Very surprising climax to this film(literally). First time I've ever seen a demon literally get sexorcized from its host. She used her "gifts" to save a young man's life.
6.5 out of 10
Le tenía echado el ojo a Luciferina hace rato porque tenía buena pinta y porque re quiero seguir explorando las pelis de terror argentinas.
Esta empieza con una buena premisa y tiene una ambientación re copada. Me anduve riendo con las reseñas mientras veía la peli y me hypearon lo del sexorcismo así que me tenté con esa parte 💁♀️
Pero también me advirtieron sobre lo pro vida que es la historia y me terminó haciendo un poco de ruido 🙈 No sé cuál era la intención al final porque se termina volviendo una peli de posesiones y exorcismos, meten huevadas satánicas, religión, ayahuasca y pacha mama en una mezcla loca y tirada de los pelos.
Como terror terror no…
This is supposed to be the first part of a trilogy, but I don't think the other two installments exist yet.
Overall, it's a rather long & tedious lead-up to the 'climax' that we all know is 'coming', i.e., the sexorcism! It's not that great, at least not in light of all the tedious stuff leading up to it. Although I do have to appreciate the possessee being a young man and the sexorcist being a young woman, now that's progress if i ever saw it.
My favorite parts involved a badass old nun who helps the mild-mannered heroine do some occult ritual shit whilst battling the demon.
Oh, and all the scenes with terrible CGI fetuses, yes multiple scenes! I…
I'm afraid there's just no way to put a graphic demonic sex exorcism scene as your finale and not have me give it at least 4 stars.

That's the review
Second half picks up very much after the ayahuasca is taken by everyone, but doesn't pick up enough to salvage this overlong possession story that doesn't provide much new besides 1) being Argentinian-made and 2) presenting an interesting concept only near the end
115 minutes of my life gone, lost forever
