Electric Sheep is proud to present an afternoon of orphans and dark magic with a screening of Alucarda<\/i> at the amazing Masonic Temple, Andaz Hotel Liverpool Street, London, on Saturday 14 June, as part of the Magic and the Macabre weekend at the East End Film Festival<\/a>. Acclaimed writer and festival programmer Kier-La Janisse<\/a>, author of House of Psychotic Women: An Autobiographical Topography of Female Neurosis in Horror and Exploitation Films<\/i><\/a> (FAB Press), will introduce the screening.<\/p>\n

Loosely based on Sheridan Le Fanu\u2019s \u2018Carmilla\u2019, extravagant, sumptuous, macabre Alucarda<\/i><\/b><\/a> hails from the golden age of Mexican horror. Raven-haired orphan Alucarda has been brought up in a convent to shield her from the evil influence of her diabolical father. But the devil in her blood cannot be suppressed and she draws the newly arrived Justine into her world. Thereon ensue copious amounts of nudity, wild-eyed hysteria, repressed desires, hints of lesbian love, religious exaltation, levitation, exorcism, self-flagellating nuns and unholy rituals, most of it set in a womb-like convent with nuns dressed in what looks like bloodied bandages. Part of the Panique movement co-founded by Alejandro Jodorowsky<\/a>, director Juan L\u00f3pez Moctezuma shared his interest in creating a magical and ritualistic kind of spectacle that would shake up audiences\u2019 perceptions. He certainly succeeded with this astounding, surreal, eye-popping stunner.<\/p>\n
