Artsploitation has called upon the dark forces to release Argentinian genre maven Gonzalo Calzada’s latest scripture-based gore fest, LUCIFERINA. Calzada (Resurrection, The Clairvoyant’s Prayer) directs a visually explosive film where religion, innocence, repressed sexuality and evil build to a boil and spectacularly collide. He has screened the film at festivals around the world, including FrightFest London, Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival, Fantaspoa and Cinepolcalypse, where Luciferina took home the award for Best Sexorcism Scene.
“Luciferina houses some tasty traditional gore effects and digital animated imagery to leave its genre audience satisfied, and a little uncomfortable.“
– Nightmarish Conjurings
Synopsis:
Natalia is a 19-year-old novice who reluctantly returns home to say goodbye to her dying father. But when she meets up with her sister and her friends, she decides instead to travel the jungle in search of a mystical plant. Instead of pleasure, they find a world of Black Masses, strange pregnancies, bloody deaths and perhaps, a sexually violent clash with the Devil himself.
The Blu-ray and DVD releases of LUCIFERINA will be available from all major retailers from 20th November. The Digital HD release will be available from 4th December on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, Vudu and more.
