Alucarda (1977)

It begins like a Hammer film, with similar production values and a similar visual look, but Hammer didn't take things this far into the extreme world of flagellating nuns, full nudity, blasphemy, lesbianism, diabolical possession and vampirism. As the film progresses it becomes more expressionistic and surreal, dragging you into its twisted world.
There’s some dodgy acting and some overly theatrical acting; it’s the latter that helps it transcend the realms of bad B-Movie into something that fans of Jess Franco, Ken Anger, Alejandro Jodorowsky and especially Ken Russell should get some jollies from. In the realm of low budget horror, Alucarda is a classic of style over substance.
