Make sure you check out the other great Mexican nunsploitation classic, Satanico Pandemonium, as well. Alucarda is the better of the two films though.
I have seen Satanico Pandemonium, but wasn't that impressed--but I didn't hate it or anything (I don't think I can actually say I hate any nunsploitation film). Actually, most Mexican horror is only so-so for me. Alucarda being one of few to really impress me.
Alucarda was one of my first cult movie DVD purchases and I didn't regret it. Mexico is pretty well torn between devout Catholicism and angry anticlericalism and I saw both forces in action in this film, along with the naked chicks and blood. It's probably my favorite Mexican horror film.
"BELPHEGOR!" I love ALUCARDA! This may or may not show up on our top five list, whenever we get around to it. That being said, I probably shouldn't talk too much about it now. Good shit, though.
I was a little disappointed with this. I definitely dug Mansion of Madness a whole bunch. But I understand the groove of this and definitely some sweet imagery.
Love the live review, Rev! Nice work. Haven't seen this one yet though.
I watched this again last night. It is becoming one of my favorite horror films. Despite some bad acting, it is very much a B movie with a load of A talent.
I have watched this review a few times, and am surprised I never commented before. I had not seen Alucarda in years, so likely did not want to talk out of school.
BTW, who is the chick at 18secs, part of your intro. Hachi Machi!
I agree totally. Quite an overlooked gem.
That voluptuous chick at 18sec is Erica Gavin in Russ Meyer's VIXEN.
Vixen is one of the few I have not seen, but should have recognized her anyway. [shame]
