Oh this has been on my To Watch list for YEARS! In fact, I have been wanting to see this film for so long, I finally put down a $200 deposit to rent it! Lololololo. Let's check out this Giallo gem:
Putting animals in a coffin as a prank during a funeral
Refrigerator full of snails crawling everywhere
Solving an eel situation in the waters that is never discussed again
A cursed church fresco
Electric cords that start on fire
A mad painter
"Caught on fire, ran off, period."
Paralyzed woman locked away? No problem. She probably has a venereal disease
These are the good things a good Giallo film is made of! And this one blew it out of the water. Bonus! Spooky, scary house!
Here we find a young man who's been summoned to a small Italian village to fix a church fresco. He starts getting strange phone calls to NOT fix the fresco and when he does it anyway, people start dying, disappearing, or deceiving.
I don't watch a lot of Giallo films and that's on me - there's no excuse for this level of lackadaisical. So expect more.
This is a spooky one, a cripplingly sinister film in a dingy, forgotten part of a fever dream. Captivating and engaging in every way (make sure your eyes are glued at all times), with a masterpiece of set design: this one is for you, especially, cinephiles.
I rented this film from Scarecrow Video (Wednesdays are rent one get one free day!) or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's to see where else you can find this absolutely stellar, skin crawling, feature.
