What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1977: an older pace and style.

After the death of her parents, young Justine is sent to live in a convent, where she meets and falls in love with the mysterious and macabre Alucarda. However, Alucarda has friends in low places... very low places. And a blood pact has just granted them entry to the church.
