Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Luciferina is a worthy offering in its sub-genre and in horror for fans of films that are more than just about a final girl or just about a simple demon possession. Rated: 4/5 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Norman Gidney Film Threat I wanted to love Luciferina because there was a real sense of craftsmanship to the proceedings yet the story arcs seemed to suffer at the expense of other elements. Oh well. Rated: 4/10 Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Luciferina is a slow burn with a couple of lovely horror moments that only really stutters when it offers up unnecessary jump scares and an extraneous villain in a movie that's already about Satan. Rated: 3/4 Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Calzada's vividly atmospheric film is itself a space in which reality and dreams overlap, in which formal narrative structures break down as our heroine strives to gain control of her identity and destiny. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Anton Bitel SciFiNow Luciferina is a horror film that confounds polarities, taking conventional oppositions - Christian vs pagan, angel vs devil, good vs evil - and merging them into a complex, potent unity. Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti Otroscines.com Luciferina is a worth export. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Ricardo d Não sei dizer o que as pessoas gostaram neste filme. Inicialmente até dei um crédito para o filme, com cenas bem filmadas, algumas cenas bem fotografadas, e uma trama promissora. Mas tudo desanda com 50 minutos de filme. Uma pena mesmo, pois queria poder considerar o casal principal como algo defensável. Mas o que percebo é que o roteiro inventou tantas subtramas, que acabaram morrendo sem explicação. Tipo, a irmã morre e o que realmente ela foi fazer no ritual? O mesmo se diz dos outros. O pai, ficou de escanteio no filme. O que inicialmente deixou a protagonista preocupada, depois nem tivemos desfecho. Mas a cereja do bolo, é o exorcismo...sério, quem escreveu deve ter bebido a poção do filme...kkk, fiquei pensando em todos os filmes de exorcismo se fossem dessa forma, eta pornozão. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review Audience Member The bad acting made it unwatchable for me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review adam b Hence rj je jr je jn Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member luciferina no intenta ser una buena pelicula solo se suma a la moda liberal Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The most fabulous thing about LUCIFERINA is it appears the filmmakers found an old abandoned missionary from over 100 years ago and built a filthy beautiful story around it. The film explodes with blatant and subtle symbolism into a battle between the sacred and the profane, and the mythic and the natural. The main characters are well conceived and well played. Dream sequences are prosaic, but also the most frightening parts, and the jump scares and gore are the film's weakest points. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
