Details

In a high-rise apartment young parents Alex and Mahsa live with their seven-year-old daughter Mina. Everything about the family is completely normal, uncomfortably real: Their home, their jobs, her school, the way they hold and love each other. The line between fact and fiction is blurred because THEY ARE A REAL family. Until completely normal turns into what they fear the most. Alex's injury opens the door to a malevolent force that attacks and dismantles the family one person at a time: A violent aggressor determined to prove that possession is real, unconscionably disturbing and very different from how it's depicted in the movies.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
gonzo_don When the directors are the writers; the writers are the actors; and the directors/writers/actors' spouses are also actors, your best bet is to walk away as quickly as you possibly can. Where in the world did these people get funding for this piece of junk? Did somebody's mother die and leave them a fortune in real estate or something? The plot is ridiculous; laughable. The acting is something you might see in a high school musical; the cinematography, the score, the dialog, it's all completely horrible. I apologize for not being able to prove that the good reviews of this film were written by crew members--I don't have the resources for that. But anybody with half a brain will realize that's what happened here. The most disgraceful use of celluloid, plastic, bandwidth, and electricity I've ever witnessed. Run away--run away as fast as you can.
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.
Joshua Hillyard If you love horror movies but hate most of the horror movies you see, this is a horror movie you will love. Basically: This is a straight up, well made film.Luciferous is the type of film that will stay with you. It's the type of film that you don't go around recommending to just anyone - including horror fans. Some people may use the description of "slow burner" but I feel it's more about subtleties that increasingly become worse and continue to linger after the story is told.This movie doesn't push any boundaries. It doesn't implement any type of new filmmaking tricks. It won't raise the bar on how horror filmmaking will be made in the future. I'm pointing these things out to stress the fact that this was a movie that was well crafted with traditional filmmaking standards. This is bare-bones horror filmmaking that shows that those involved with making it truly understand the concept of making a great film that happens to fall into the horror genre.This film embraces the art of independent filmmaking. This is a great example that millions of dollars and over-the-top special effects aren't necessary to make a great horror flick. Luciferous does it right: Write a great story and let the rest of the work stem from that.
Mahendra Vishwakarma Avoid it if you can. Seriously Lacking Screenplay & Effects probably due to production restriction. Making of movie could have been much better. Since the movie Written, produced, Directed & Starred in it by Alex the husband in the movie; The wife and the daughter of the Alex have starred in it too. The word mommy is being screamed by the kid in every 2 minutes which is quite irritating. Overall the concept was Okay. However the actor Alex was good at playing psycho in the movie. You would lose interest after watching it for 15 minutes. The movie was quite subtle when showing blood in it. Most of the movie was predictable but the ending was little different.
