Hi to you all from Italy and sorry for my bad English. I've watched this movie twice. Is for sure one of the best Italian horror thriller ever made, probably better than Dario Argento's first productions.... This movie is the story of a young journalist who's investigating on an ancient picture representing an old religious ritual: thanks to a student of history of the art he discovers that an entire village is populated by adepts of the devil.... This is a low budget movie (less than 30.000 $) made by an amateur film maker. It has been played in the north east of Italy near Udine, a town of the region Friuli full of mysterious places and legends.. I suggest you to buy the DVD; you'll surely enjoy it.

I totally agree with the Italian friend here. Considering that Bianchini produced the movie himself and the low budget, this movie proves once again: it is more important to have talent than to have money! The whole atmosphere is superb, the story, everything! I came across Bianchini through "Oltre il guado" (across the river) which is fantastic, too, same as the short "Film Sporco". Now I'm looking for "Occhi" and "Lidrís cuadrade die trê", they are impossible to find at the moment :( Also the DVD Custodes Bestiae contains very interesting bonus material, same as the Blu-Ray Across the River. Not for Hollywood Blockbuster Fans but for people who like well-made suspense movies.
