Critic Reviews for Luz: The Flower of Evil

All Critics (10) | Fresh (10)

As in The VVitch, Luz's main family is being consumed. There is a general confusion, which is transmitted to the audience --including voice-overs close to poetic reflection-- and that, without a doubt, will not be for everyone.

Erick Ortiz
Butaca Ancha
Colombian filmmaker Juan Diego Escobar Alzate creates a wonderfully lurid atmosphere for this bonkers horror movie

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
Director Juan Diego Escobar Alzate delivers a visual feast in this trippy fever dream, where good battles evil in style.

A raw and bold film that warns against the dangers of blind faith. [Full review in Spanish]

Ricardo Gallegos
La Estatuilla
Luz: the Flower of Evil is the type of horror movie that skillfully and disturbingly shows how blind trust can be used as one of the worst weapons to get people to commit heinous acts.

Culture Mix
Luz is an often frustrating film, but also a strikingly ambitious maiden effort with a distinctive artistic sensibility.

Dennis Harvey
48 Hills
As colorful as a dream, Juan Diego Escobar Alzate's feature film debut Luz: The Flower of Evil looks like magic and brims with the casual brutality of faith.

You can hug every frame of this film, even as you constantly will recoil in horror.

ScreenAnarchy
There's a rawness about it that doesn't always work in its favour but helps it maintain a necessary edge. It's an extraordinarily bold piece of filmmaking and one waits with bated breath to see what [Juan Diego Escobar] Alzante will do next.
