Based on notorious real-life “lonely hearts killers” who make victims of their romantic liaisons, Alleluia is a dark and fascinating love-story-gone-wrong from Belgian horror maverick Fabrice du Welz. Michel (Laurent Lucas, With a Friend Like Harry and Calvaire) is a born womanizer and professional hustler with a penchant for wooing lonely, vulnerable widows and divorcees. When he meets introverted single mom Gloria (Lola Dueñas, Volverand I’m So Excited!) online and treats her to an electrifying first date, she’s left completely smitten. Michel tries to swindle what he can out of the one-night stand, but his latest victim has other plans. Basking in the rush of new love, she frantically pursues him, witnessing the true depths of his depravity and offering herself as an accomplice in his seductive crimes. Having truly met their match in each other, the unhinged lovers embark on a deadly odyssey amplified by wild sex, unbridled jealousy, and passionate forays into the dark arts. This smart and gory shocker breathes new life into the lovesick horror genre to serve up a chilling tale of white-hot desperation and terrifying devotion.

Ardennes Trilogy Part II
"Alleluia is the second instalment in Frabice du Welz's "Ardennes Trilogy": an informal trilogy revolving around themes of loss and mental illness (and women named Gloria). If you have seen Calvaire, the first instalment, you are aware of the beautiful visual style of the director, combined with a very muted colour palette. These elements are retained here, however we also see a very pronounced improvement in the director's storytelling craft, with a much more focused narrative than the first film. This improvement may be related to the fact the script is inspired by the real life story of the Lonely Heart Killers. The film is carried by the performances of the two leads, who both do a fantastic job. The film brings multiple disturbing moments, but in keeping with the overall tone for the series established by Calvaire. Overall, this is a great film and highly recommended."
