Alucarda - AKA "Innocents From Hell", "Sisters of Satan" (1975) (Various and sundry fly-by-night companies have released it over the years - try www.gemmvideos.com) |

And you know how they do that? They rename the fucking things, over and over again just like they did with a lot of the martial arts films) and re-release them, but- if you're in Boston, anyway- you can always go to Video Oasis (All hail Dennis...HAIL!) in Cambridge, MA and have them get the real-deal version of it, so all is well. Well, that all depends on your point of view. Possession, buckets of nudity, nuns flogging themselves, lesbianism, a scientist who does not believe in the unknown, but can't find a reason for what's going on. Well, duh. He's kinda like that doctor in Zombie- "There has to a rational explanation for this!" There's also raining blood, a head nun who sweats blood (no witty banter from me on that one.), and enough screaming and whacked-out, red-hued, tripped-out lunacy to choke a hundred faceless drama queens leaving a dance club. Unreal, to say the least. It is available in England on DVD, and you can find versions of it online if you look hard enough. Go get it. You won't be disappointed. - Greg Dellaria |
