Alucarda
dir. Juan López Moctezuma · 1977
Justine arrives at a convent, seeking refuge but instead finds herself ensnared in a web of dark forces alongside her friend Alucarda. As their bond deepens, the convent transforms into a battleground for good and evil, where innocence is shattered and faith is tested. Watching this film is like stepping into a fever dream, where the boundaries of friendship and possession blur, leaving you questioning the nature of evil itself.
When the teenage orphan Justine arrives in a convent, she befriends Alucarda, who was raised since she was a baby by the nuns. They become best friends and stay together most of the time. When they meet a gypsy on the forest, he is indeed Satan and possesses the teenagers. Soon the convent is turned upside-down affecting the lives of Alucarda, Justine, the nuns and Father Lázaro. The skeptic Dr. Oszek will also witness a showdown between good and evil affecting his beliefs.
