Luz
An effective exercise in stylistic pastiche that has more to offer than its eerie retro mood, Tilman Singer’s Luz presents a refreshing take on demonic possession in which the usual fright-flick cliches are nowhere to be found. Though a slow-burner that will alienate some, the picture’s quiet stretches serve its purposes, turning what might’ve been just one act of a more conventional horror pic into a tantalizing short feature.
The title character (Luana Velis) is a woman from Chile who now works as a cabbie in an unnamed German city. We meet her as she walks, bloodied from some kind of accident, into an all-but-abandoned police station and awaits help. It’s going to take a while.
