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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

4/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Ricardo d 12/03/2022 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.

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. See more Read all reviews
