Reviews:
“This is a fantastic psychological slasher/giallo film. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. There’s some seriously stunning architecture and the camerawork is incredible. It’s some of the best Italian indie horror filmmaking in years. On par with the likes of Argento, Fulci and Bava.” Blazing Minds
