The Hunger

1983

Based on the novel of the same name by Whitley Strieber, the film is a sensual and decadent reinterpretation of the vampire myth, characterized by a refined aesthetic and a disturbing atmosphere. The film is a hypnotic visual experience, with an aesthetic style that mixes gothic with 80s glamour. The use of soft lighting, luxurious settings and an evocative soundtrack (including Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus) help to create a sense of alienation and mystery. Tony Scott, in his directorial debut, favours the visual and atmospheric side over traditional storytelling, transforming the film into a sensorial work that focuses on... Read More

only lovers left alive

2013

If you are fascinated by the world of vampires, this extraordinary dark film is an essential viewing. The film tells the immortal love story between Adam and Eve, masterfully played by Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton. Their afterlife is immersed in a decadent and melancholic atmosphere, where the beauty of art and knowledge clashes with the decadence of contemporary society. With a refined gothic aesthetic and a touch of biting irony, the film is configured as a poetic reflection on the crisis of modern humanity, incapable of preserving the wonders that it has been able to create over the centuries. The slow regression of man,... Read More

The Last Man on Earth

1964

The film, based on the famous novel by Richard Matheson I Am Legend, manages to recreate the atmosphere of the book well, despite the limited budget. The Italian director Ubaldo Ragona does a better job than the more famous Boris Sagal, who made The Omega Man a few years later. This is probably due to the fact that Vincent Price, very comfortable in an Italian co-production, surpasses the talented Charlton Heston. With his usual theatricality, Price offers a performance reminiscent of silent films, particularly effective in the part where he is alone, for half the film. The first part is very suggestive, thanks to the beautiful... Read More

The well The well

2024

The twilight settings and the acting performances even of the minor roles are very appreciable, some scenes in the finale give a touch perhaps unintentionally funny that I personally appreciate a lot in horror films. A simple but well-crafted story, with realistic dialogues, the long gore scenes in the film could disturb those like me who do not appreciate them but prefer dark atmospheres and mystery, which are not lacking anyway. A low-budget production that does not disappoint but rather transports us to the past of an Italian genre cinema that is now almost defunct.

Vampires

1998

Jack Crow is much more than a vampire hunter. He is a war machine that considers vampires as the embodiment of Evil and teammates as soldiers to be strictly trained so that they never fail. The Vatican monitors him from afar, assists him through specially trained priests, and supports him economically. This unlikely but functional partnership between this sort of crepuscular cow boy and one of the most important religious institutions in the world undergoes a stop when the ancient and powerful Valek breaks into the room where a vampire hunting party is celebrating, making a killing. Jack Crow's collaborators all die, except his... Read More

Ghost Stories

2018

Ghost Stories is a British psychological horror film adapted from their play of the same name. The film stands out for its disturbing atmosphere, layered narrative and a surprising ending that overturns the viewer's expectations. Dyson and Nyman build a horror that relies more on psychological tension than gratuitous jump scares. The use of lighting, sound and distressing shots contribute to creating a sense of growing unease. Each story has its own visual identity and a different narrative style, reflecting the personal fears of the protagonists. Andy Nyman offers... Read More

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

1971

The Abominable Dr. Phibes, directed by Robert Fuest, is a jewel of British horror cinema that combines gothic, grotesque and black humor in a fascinating and macabre mix. Played by a charismatic Vincent Price, the film tells the story of the eccentric and brilliant Dr. Anton Phibes' revenge against the doctors he believes are responsible for his wife's death. The plot develops as a series of murders inspired by the plagues of Egypt, an idea as ingenious as it is disturbing, which gives life to visually surprising sequences. The baroque aesthetic, with rich sets and... Read More

Deep red

1975

Dario Argento, with Deep Red, creates one of the cornerstones of the Italian giallo, a film that mixes thriller and horror with a visual and narrative mastery that is still unmatched today. It was March 7, 1975 when it arrived for the first time in Italian cinemas, the film consolidated the director's success and laid the foundations for his unmistakable style, made of saturated colors, bold shots and a tension that grows until the final explosion. One of the most iconic aspects of the film is undoubtedly the soundtrack by Goblin, a mix of progressive rock and electronic... Read More

Prince of Darkness

1987

John Carpenter is a master at transforming primal fears into unforgettable cinematic experiences, Prince of Darkness is one of his most disturbing and underrated films. With a mix of metaphysical horror, science fiction and paranoia, the director drags us into a nightmare that defies logic and faith, playing with the concept of absolute evil and the fragility of human perception. Carpenter creates a claustrophobic and unhealthy atmosphere, in which the tension grows inexorably. The masterful use of shots and the soundtrack – composed by Carpenter himself – contribute to...
