Description
Pupi Avati’s intelligent thriller has long been regarded as an antidote to the normal Italian slasher movie.
Stefano, an art restorer, is commisioned on the recommendation of a friend to work on a bizarre, ghoulish fresco of San Sebastian hanging in the church of a sleepy village. The disturbing image was painted by a deranged local artist famed for his habit of depicting his subjects in the last throes of death. As time passes in the rural outback the strangeness of the locals and a building sense of dread begin to haunt Stefano. Although the village folk are friendly enough on the surface, things are not entirely as they appear and Stefano feels a rising sense of unease as tales of murder and savage behaviour begin to emerge.
