Pushing the boundaries of ambiguity in terms of symbolism, Luzifer is a story that grapples with themes ranging from religious fanaticism to trauma and abuse, adding its share of corporate greed.

Luzifer it's a film that looks great and there's plenty to dig into, but the weaknesses of its storytelling are conflicting given the fact that its director doesn't really give room for its themes to be explored and developed more deeply.

I'm more than open to the audience being given the opportunity to create their own interpretations, but not necessarily of everything that goes on screen.

It deserves the attention, but I do feel that something more powerful was absent in this tale.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its quite a haunting and spooky film. The most sinister bits I felt were the noisy drones flying around the isolated area (which reminded me a little of an episode of Black Mirror set in the countryside with lots of drones chasing a character), like sheepdogs pinning sheep down.

There are some nice shots showing moonlight and sunset, plus many murky shots, showing the rural setting in deep fog. There's also quite a lot of religious symbols featured too.

It's an uncomfortable watch at points with some sexual elements - what's implied is more unsettling than what's fully shown perhaps. This is undoubtedly a strange, quirky watch which won't appeal to all, especially if you don't like blood, sexual imagery or are especially squeamish (it's not constantly gorey but it has its moments) but otherwise, as a sort of a slow chiller film, it's not bad. The lead actor gives a decent performance for one thing, seeming both vulnerable and someone to fear.

The filmc ertainly left me with unanswered questions and the plot is a bit weak but it's worth a watch if it sounds of interest I suppose yes.… Expand
