ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

hp-23085 In this short review, I will keep things very general, so as not to give away the story line.I didn't personally read any reviews before watching this film. The fact that it is independent and won 5 awards was good enough for me. I wasn't disappointed. This is a film that engages your mind, with a range of possibilities as to why things are unfolding as they are, any of which could be plausible. So you are left to study the characters for clues as to which answer is more likely. A welcome break from many films that rely too much on action and special effects. Personally, I enjoyed this film on many levels. Highly recommended! " Undoubtedly a little gem lost in the world of cinema." - Rodrigo Garcia Ferreyra May 16, 2016 Cinema

tdrish So don't go diving into this, expecting razor sharp, cutting edge thriller stuff, because it's just not going to happen. My only complaint with the entire movie, was with the ending...which led more questions then answers resolved. Other then that, the film did a decent job of keeping my attention, wondering what would happen next. It's at times confusing, and leaves you thinking to yourself weather or not all of this is really happening, or is it just all in the mind? ( You'll know why about the 50 minute mark of the film). All of this supposedly really happened to a real family? That will be up to you to decide weather this is fact or fiction. ( I do believe, for example, that The Amittyville Horror was a real haunted house, however, I think a lot of fiction was filled in there. This is not Amittyville Horror.) So what are your thoughts on possession, anyway? Random, or are there certain people chosen for it? Is this all possession, or is someone thinking they're possessed, and doing all sorts of weird things? Some ideas to think about before you go into watching this, and perhaps you may enjoy it better, and prevent from giving it another low rating review.

BMO A friend suggested this movie. I now realize he was screwing with me. This would be a great effort for a 15yr old with basic editing software. This is put together by a husband and wife team that act in and direct the film. They even bring their own daughter into this train wreck. If you read their real life bios on IMDb this couple sounds like artist working their craft..blah..blah..blah. When this is nothing more than a cheap attempt to make a name for themselves and hope to make some cash. Honestly this movie is so bad that it's the perfect film to get your friends together to watch and have some drinks. I suggest you play a drinking game where you have to drink every time the wife says "baby" or the daughter whines "mommy..daddy" except you would pass out in the first 10 mins. The scariest part of this dumpster fire is that I get the sense these people actually think they are making a great film.

contact-742-500835 "Luciferous" is psychological horror film in the vein of "the Shining" for the digital era. It centers around a family who see their seemingly normal life get turned up-side down by a series of events that stand on the verge of the supernatural. Some years after a tragedy where Dad accidentally killed the entire family of a friend of his, he is apparently attacked by someone or something in the forest, living him in a catatonic state and on a slow path to recovery. As Dad begins his recovery so does as well the perceived supernatural events around him, and it is implied that perhaps there is nothing supernatural about it and that perhaps it is all in Dad's damaged head. In a way the mysterious occurrences that have befallen the family could be a manifestation of a deeply rooted sense of guilt within Dad, since he is sure that the ghastly apparition that has set to haunt him is his old friend out for revenge after the accident claimed his entire family."Luciferous" cast is actually a real family, giving the film a sense of realism and true dynamic among them, Mom and Dad do commendable jobs, but it is little Mina who truly steals the show with her riveting performance. The film makes some very smart decisions and is well aware of how much it can actually get away with effectively with the minimum resources it has. Instead of trying to shoot things that are completely out of its league, "Luciferous" makes the smart choice to go for a slow burn and a mounting sense of dread throughout the film, without the need to resort to cheap VFX or make-up, it builds an effective creep factor from some well place shots and clever editing.At its core, "Luciferous" manages to convey the idea that it is perhaps wiser to fear the living than to fear the dead, and while its final twist may seem completely out of nowhere, it still played a good hand of bait and switch. Always keeping us guessing, whether there is a true demonic presence tormenting this family, or if evil lies closer than we think, right within the human heart.The final twist can be hard to buy, for the film spends so much time diverting our attention somewhere else that it really never takes its time to set up a few clues let us in on what might be happening. It works both against and on its favor, for it never really comes off as predictable. Perhaps the biggest head-scratcher was the true motivations behind the orchestrator of these events, perhaps a bit more build-up to it would have been more cohesive for the twist to work."Luciferous" is a great example of creating an effective, slow burn chiller with creativity and awareness of resources, creating a much more organic and grounded horror.
