To Kill A Stranger and Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary are two of Juan Lopez Moctezuma's other movies listed on imdb. I think I'll try to check Bloody Mary out.
I thought the bloody nun's habits in Alucarda were one of the freakiest parts. There was no explanation for that! Personally i thought it was evocative of menstruation, but why would nuns walk around wearing white bandage dresses all bloody down there? Weird, but it added to the creepiness. Plus they cried blood and all that whipping! I guess it was a special bloody nun sect. I think I like it when there are weird unexplained things like that but it's even cooler when there is a creative explanation behind bizarre occurences. (like in Phantasm or Hellraiser for instance) The sets were definitely arty and pretty high quality.
Other than The Exorcist this was the most Christian horror movie I've seen so far.
