Show Notes
All hell breaks loose when a young woman is possessed by a demon; with help from her lover and a hunchback, Alucarda takes on the Church and burns any nun who stands in her way. Sounds pretty good, right? And if you don't mind a little torture and full-frontal nudity, then we think you'll have a helluva time. But tbh, Alucarda offers much to consider: systemic oppression, the value of foreign films, and the line between artistry and exploitation. And did you know Alucarda spelled backwards is "a Dracula"? All that and more on this devil-may-care episode!
