Editorial Review:Directed in Mexico in 1975 by Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) collaborator Juan Lopez Moctezuma, the Psychotronic Video Guide describes Alucarda as "The strongest, most imaginative, and visual witch movie since Ken Russell's The Devils." Alucarda tells of the strange relationship between two young girls, Justine and Alucarda, and how their relationship destroyed the lives of those around them in a torrent of blood, death and damnation. This legendary horror film contains images that will shock and disturb

Demonic possession, south of the border. That pretty much sums Alucarda up. Seizing the same
level of unconscionable evil and overwhelming fear that The Exorcist generated, Mexican director Juan Lopez Moctezuma unleashes the gates of Hell upon defenseless viewers in this bloodcurdling cult classic. This film is wicked.
The movie starts off somewhat incoherent, kinda like a Fulci or Rollins film. If you prefer everything spelled out for you, like in most American horror flicks, ... Read More

this movie started out okay, I was interested in the story line. Then it was all over the place. It was like watching a play with lots over-acting. What was with the bloody nuns wrapped in bandages?? At first I thought they all had leparcy
And by the end there was so so much screaming, I had to mute my TV.
this movie had no cult flair to it, and it most def was not shocking.

Alucarda (Juan Lopez Moctezuma, 1978)
There's something about seventies horror movies that really gets to me. Not in a scary way, mind you, and not (I don't think, anyway) in a nostalgic way.

Juan Lopez Moctezuma's horror film Alucarda is mentioned with only moderate frequency as a horror classic, and even then only in the most dedicated circles of horror cinephiles. There are some films that explore the subject of demonic possession far more convincingly (i.e. the Exorcist) so only those horror fans who can appreciate how a film's style is engineered to unnerve its audience will find Alucarda enjoyable. Some less enthusiastic audiences will find Alucarda both gratuitous and even annoying. ... Read More

I first discovered Jaun Lopez Moctezuma a few weeks ago. Every once in a while you run across a director like this in the dusty shelves of video stores and you are amazed that you never heard about them before. The film is, for the time period, extremely bizarre and beautiful. Alucarda, for it's low budget views like a gothic play. The dialouge is extremely intense and fragrant between the two main characters (lesbian convent girls. They meet the devil in the woods and are charmed into a pact for thier undying ... Read More
