Despite never actually been baptized, Natalia (Sofia Del Tuffo) had spent the last few years in a monastery aspiring to be a nun. But then she learned her dad (Vando Villamil) was on the verge of dying, and she was let go of the nunnery to look after him - where she reunited with her sister Angela (Malena Sánchez) again for the first time in ages, and Angela is the polar opposite of her, a promiscuous party girl with a predilection for alcohol and drugs and a "bad boy" boyfriend (Francisco Donovan). However, the two of them come together with one another's terms and decide to visit a shaman together along with a few of their friends who might either help their father or more likely help them come over their upcoming loss. And this is where things start to go wrong, as the drugs the shaman gives them for their revelation accidently invite Lucifer into their world who kills most of their friends, and Natalia learns she's actually demon spawn which makes her a prime target for Lucifer, and the only one she can rely on now is elderly nun Sister Gregoria (Marta Lubos) and the very man she needs to fear the most is Abel (Pedro Merlo), a guy who she has fallen in love with who has been possessed for all his life - and this is only the starting point for things falling out of hand ...

Luciferina is pretty much a "what the fuck"-movie - in the best possible of ways! Basically, the film starts out along teen slasher lines, with a bunch of youngsters going where they shouldn't go, and bad things happen ... but then it takes things to a whole other level, call it metaphysical, mythical or religious or whatever, which makes this a very trippy experience all of its own, thanks not only to the story that gets weirder by the minute but also to the trippy imagery and the performances that are nevertheless very much on point no matter how odd things get. That said, not a film for everyone, but if you can open your mind enough to enjoy the slightly grotesque, then it's definitely one for you.
