“Sexuality is the penance.”

Mistress Genevieve schools Nicholas Tanek on the wild Mexican classic ALUCARDA (1977). In the premiere episode of THE YKF CINEMA SHOW, we dive into Juan López Moctezuma’s blasphemous fever dream: a loose adaptation of Carmilla where two teenage orphan girls in a remote Catholic convent strike a blood pact with dark forces, unleash demonic possession, and turn the house of God into absolute hell. Expect hysterical nuns, forbidden desires, graphic exorcisms, blood-soaked rituals, and one of the most unhinged fiery finales in horror history.

“Nuns of Fire!”
