Don't disturb the gravy

[Bezenby · 5/10 · 30 October 2016]

Starring Beatrice Ring (of Fulci's great bad good awful brilliant Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 (Mattei remix) and Lino Salmonne of Fulci's just plain awful Sweet House of Horrors, Graveyard Distrubance is an Italian TV horror movie by Lamberto Bava, who is not exactly Mr Quality Control himself either.

Just like Fulci's TV horror movie House of Clocks, a bunch of annoying teenage thieves high tail it out of town and find themselves somewhere far more sinister. This time it's a cemetery with it's own pub (run by an eternally laughing Lino, complete with flashing eyeball).

Lino bets our annoying eighties teenagers, with their custom painted van (including an Inferno reference!), walkmans etc that they won't be able to stay the night in the crypt. They're all up for that, and so it's down the crypt they go so they can run around scared and lost for the remainder of the film.

Made at the same time as Dinner with a Vampire (and similar, too), Lamberto forgoes gore and gives us weirdness instead, what with the surreal zombies, bizarre dinner party, other zombies, and various haunted house things we're used to as the masses of people who love watching late eighties Italian films.

If you set your sights really really low (where they should probably be anyway), this one is not too bad. It's now classic either though, but it's much better that The Ogre, which Bava also made around this time.

Nothing special.

[HumanoidOfFlesh · 5/10 · 13 December 2003]

Lamberto Bava's "Graveyard Disturbance" is pretty lame.It starts off with five teens doing their daily shoplifting in a grocery store.Evading the police they drive off in their van to eventually come to the creepy inn.They are welcomed by a strange man with glowing red eye,and soon take on the bet which they simply can't refuse.The script by Lamberto Bava and Dardano Sacchetti is mediocre,the acting is pretty bad and the gore is non-existent.There are some atmospheric moments and the zombies look very creepy.The scene,where someone falls into a pit of rotting corpses is clearly borrowed from Dario Argento's "Phenomena".Give it a look,if you have enough time to waste-just don't expect anything special.

Graveyard Disturbance

[Scarecrow-88 · 5/10 · 4 May 2012]

I think Lamberto Bava's Graveyard Disturbance is the very definition of a mixed bag. The plot, characters, and dialogue are a clumsy, jumbled mess. But, what I think Bava excels at in spades is the look and atmosphere of the catacombs where a great deal of the movie is set as a group of irritating, moronic twentysomethings, after robbing a supermarket (the proprietor of the establishment is the director!), drive into what appears to be a wooded area where the van carrying them gets caught in a river, forcing them to hike it to the skeletal remains of a castle, located next to a strange pub with customers who favor ghouls and have glowing eyes (wtf?). Challenged by a creep with a mangled face who had been following them (wearing a slicker), serving as their waiter in the pub, to stay the night in the underground catacombs beneath the establishment, these bratty young adults experience all sorts of bizarre events and encounter a number of undead monsters (rotted vampires, mummies, and zombies), hoping to win a treasure if they successfully make it to dawn. A foggy labyrinth of ancient rooms covered in thickets, cob webs, rats, and skeletal remains, with pits of goopy water, ladders, cells, and gateways that lead to a neverending cycle of similar passageways, the catacombs is an ideal Gothic setting for any horror film featuring young criminals who rob a store for the hell of it (or more like the thrill of it), suffering for their wrong doing by entering a world alien to their own. It doesn't surprise me that this is a television movie as Bava plays it safe with no nudity, sexual themes, or ultraviolence, but he sure put the make-up department to work as there are plenty of rotted faces on display here, not to mention one of the most crazy dinner table scenes you are likely to see (this family is a bunch of icky monsters, such as a mother with multiple eyes, others with gloppy faces, the menu entails such delicacies as "spider pie"). It seems Bava is having a grand ole time as the movie just keeps placing the characters in one weird scenario after another (one of the men falls into a deep, watery hole where a one-eyed creature is floating around looking for him; every time it seems the group is about to hit paydirt and escape from their crisis, climbing up a ladder, they wind up in another room almost identical to the one they just left). It does get a bit repetitive and to be honest, the screenplay is scattershot and schizophrenic, but I had some fun with Graveyard Disturbance. I enjoyed the setting even if I found most everything else poor. The make-up for the monsters really gives them a wonderfully ghastly look. The twist regarding the creep in the slicker is a bit obvious, especially after Bava shows law enforcement coming across the van, but the reveal of the face underneath a skin mask is rather an unpleasant sight certain to earn praise from zombie fans. How the characters are able to deal with him and their eventual fates left me with mixed feelings. I think escaping one perilous situation only to face the consequences of their actions at the beginning of the film (and willing to accept this considering the alternative) is amusing, at the same time, I think the creep in the slicker is dealt with a bit too easily. I think the way the characters behave while facing extremely unsettling and nightmarish experiences, sometimes taking them in stride, other times barely holding themselves together, hurts the film, and the unfocused screenplay is a detriment to the visual merits and technical achievements.

Graveyard Disturbance

[Michael_Elliott · 7 January 2010]

Graveyard Disturbance (1987)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

A rather bizarre, made-for-TV Italian film has five teenage punks shoplifting from a small store and then running off from the police. They end up staying the night in the woods when they discover a small club with a lavish treasure. In order to get the treasure they must "enter the gates" into a strange world of zombie/vampire creatures. If you're expecting gore and violence like in Bava's DEMONS then you're going to be disappointed because there's really not too much of anything here. We really don't get to any horror elements until the 45-minute mark and even then the stuff is very small, really boring and in the end really doesn't go anywhere. There is a decent twist towards the end of the movie but at the same time the ending is so bad that you really just have to sit there a few minutes after it's over with and wonder why they even bothered. The screenplay is really all over the place as its never quite sure what it wants to do and the more supernatural elements never really work because there's really no backbone to what's going on. Even the twist comes way too late and it really goes against everything that came before it and then we get cheated even more because what happens after wards goes against the twist. The performances range from bad to poor but Bava's direction does add a few nice touches. The first appearance of the zombie and how it comes to "move" is quite effective and handled very well. There are a few scenes with some atmosphere but just not enough to warrant the 96-minute running time. The zombie/vampire make up effects are decent for such a low budget film but they can't save the movie and in the end there's no real reason to watch this unless you have to see every horror film released in Italy.

Biiiiig dissapointment ...

[arminio · 2/10 · 18 June 2002]

Really, this movie is big dissapointment - plot is weak (what plot?), there is no euro-horror style, everything is so lame (especially ending) ... pretty dull, boring, silly ... Bava's weakest job! Only good thing here is FX makeup which is pretty decent and really very gory for one TV film.

All in all, sad product of Lamberto Bava.

2/10

OH MY GOD! I PAWNED MY CROSS!

[nogodnomasters · 5/10 · 3 May 2019]

A group of teens shoplift a small market and make their get away in a painted, one of a kind van. They travel through a police road block and find themselves in a forever misty graveyard...with a tavern. They make a bet with the tavern keeper to spend the night in the haunted catacomb for treasure.

The special effects make-up included the overly gross rotting flesh, used in Italian films along with the worse special effects for eyes. A red light? Seriously? This made for TV fare is relatively kid safe and includes a dead woman being groped. The twist is one used in many horror films, including a slasher. Don't say you didn't see it coming.

Apparently they serve Miller Beer in hell.

[capkronos · 4/10 · 7 April 2009]

After pulling off a supermarket job (stealing... candy bars???) and busting through a police barricade, five teens - hunky Robin (Gregory Lech Thaddeus), pretty Mikki (Beatrice Ring), her brother David (Karl Zinny), brainy Tina (Lea Martino) and their getaway driver Johnny (Gianmarco Tognazzi) end up passing through a thick blanket of fog and from then on out find themselves lost in the middle of nowhere. After getting their van stuck trying to drive over a creek, they grab their camping gear and decide to hike to the nearest town by foot. As night falls, they stumble upon a huge crumbling church where they decide to spend the night and also discover a spooky tavern located on the other side, go in and find it populated by a bunch of strange, ghoulish people with red glowing eyes. The deformed tavern keeper (Lino Salemme) promises them a treasure if they're able to survive the night in an underground catacomb of crypts located beneath the church, and like all moronic horror movie teenagers, the five take up the challenge. Yeah, like allowing yourselves to be locked up in a dark, spooky place by creepy and, from all indications, inhuman strangers is ever going to have a good outcome...

So after cracking a lame "American Werewolf in London," joke, down below they go, finding themselves even more lost than they were before in an Escher-style maze of staircases, ladders and various tombs and crypts. Other than encountering the expected cobwebs, gravestones, coffins, spiders and rats, there are also zombies, an animated eyeball, some kind of large wolf creature and a skull-faced Grim Reaper complete with a scythe he never uses. Unfortunately, the zombies never come off in a threatening way and are used mostly for pathetically unfunny and completely out-of-place comic scenes (such as when a male zombie grabs a female zombies boob and she slaps him) and the werewolf itself is never once shown. Boo! In fact, this entire movie, which I believe was made for Italian TV, is virtually gore free.

On the plus side, the art direction and sets are (surprisingly) quite good, and mix that with the cinematography, score and liberal use of a fog machine, and the film manages to be fairly atmospheric at times. I found myself really enjoying the first half, but soon after the teens enter the crypt, the film becomes annoying, repetitive and even more illogical than it already was. After encountering various creatures, I seriously doubt you'd be giggling, cracking jokes or even lying down to take a nap if you only have to survive until dawn. The characters are extremely annoying and do consistently stupid things, the dialogue and English-dubbing are both terrible and the tone uneasily fluctuates between being jokey to wanting to be taken seriously. A senseless twist ending drives the final nail in the coffin, relegating this potentially good film to failed opportunity status.

For me, some glaring inconsistencies towards the end mar what could have been something pretty great, but a fun spooky romp nonetheless!

[Foreverisacastironmess123 · 7/10 · 16 December 2017]

So were those crazy kids dead or what??! This film seems to have been largely swept under the rug and is an easy one to miss because of its various titles and probably how there are many similarly plotted flicks to it dotted throughout the 80s, including better ones made by Lamberto Bava. Even the story sounds fairly generic just to describe it, being about a group of young people on a road trip who, following a petty theft from a convenience store, find themselves in a rustic tavern where the highly suspicious owner makes a tempting wager that one of them can't spend a night in the underlying ancient catacombs which legend says are a portal to hell...sort of. It sure doesn't sound like anything special but I really took to it right away and I was very impressed and entertained by the strong atmosphere and set designs of the catacombs, which were unbelievably well done for the budget and were so enchantingly creepy and absorbing to look at that it made me wonder why the movie isn't a little more well known and regarded. It doesn't deserve the harsh reception it's got from most of the reviewers on here, the worst thing it's guilty of is a little horrendous acting, but I for one was quite entertained by all that hyper and over-the-top dubbed acting, and I never found this to be dull and boring, the main thing I took from it was that it was just a lot of macabre 80s kooky Italian dubbed fun, I thought it was a lot of totally harmless tongue in cheek cheese, and it had a good balance between being campy but also pretty eerie too. People have taken it so seriously without seeming to notice or care that the movie has a definite playfulness to itself that almost makes it feel like a Scooby Doo adventure at points, you do get that the characters are in danger, but it never feels like they're in that much danger! The scene that to me best demonstrates how much fun the director was having with it is the rather extravagantly grotesque sequence where a group on undead monster debutants are enjoying what by the looks of it is to them some fine dining, but scatter back into their coffins in terror when two wandering humans invade their sumptuous banquet of the damned! I've seen a lot of horror movies but wow! I really couldn't believe it when that spectacular scene popped up! Everyone bandies around the old "It's a TV movie" excuse like it automatically makes a movie so much worse. Horsepucky! To me the acting and visuals of this were about as effective as the next 80s Bava horror picture! I had myself a blast with it and I wasn't interested in putting it down for its production values or the quality of the acting, I found it to be a lot more enjoyable and entertaining than the majority of the newer horror flicks I've been watching lately. Again I wasn't sure if it was an actual location or not but I loved the ancient labyrinth of crypts that were the catacombs, they were magnificently gothic and the movie was rich in atmosphere because of them, they were the perfect creepy setting. All but one of the characters kept me very amused all the way through and I enjoyed the ride, it was like a tour through one of the best spookhouses in history!! I like it a lot but I would've loved it if it wasn't for the completely unnecessary confusion of the ending, which for me harmed the overall effect of the whole thing. The movie feels like it's building up to a very obvious twist which is heavily hinted at multiple times, but just never happens. They manage to escape from the catacombs and the obviously evil tavern guy pulls off his face and declares himself the Grim Reaper and advances on them, but is killed by a simple stabbing? And them it shows that the police have found their van crashed on the side of the road and not in a stream, but their dead bodies aren't in it, then as they emerge from the freaky pub with their hard-earned booty they're arrested...so they must be alive! Then why did the movie try so hard to make me think otherwise? I don't know if something was lost in translation to the English dub or what, but from where I'm looking that was just some seriously sloppy filmmaking and didn't make any damn sense! Bava should have just gone with the "they were dead the whole time" angle anyway! Some like the ending but for me that was just too big a plot-hole to ignore. Overall though I liked this movie, I think it's an excellent watch around Halloween, and for all its faults, this movie is a fine exercise in atmosphere and tension and is well worth watching for some chills as well as laughs. If you enjoy it as much as I did, then you'll find that it's a film that when you've seen it, you'll be wondering where it's been hiding and why you didn't watch it sooner. X

Dull and poorly written ghost tale by Lamberto Bava.

[Coventry · 4/10 · 24 April 2005]

Made for cable-TV, a cheesy synopsis and director Bava who had just delivered his very weak "Demons 2" sequel...There were more than enough omens to warn me that this "Graveyard Disturbance" would be a waste of time and not worth purchasing. Yet, I'm a fan of most of the man's work and even a mediocre Italian horror film is still better than an over-hyped American one, so I gave it a look anyway. Since this is a TV-production, you can't really compare it with Lamberto Bava's more serious horror films and that also explains the lack of gore and controversy (aspects that are normally well-present in Bava-films). The story is light-headed, simple and cliché, introducing five rebel-teenagers who strand at a ghostly cemetery after a fleeing from their daily shoplifting routines. They meet a spooky looking bartender who offers them a bet they can't refuse. They're promised a pricey reward when they manage to spend the night in the eerie catacombs underneath the cemetery. The script (partly written by Lamberto Bava himself) is really weak and the dialogues are pitiful. The film is only made endurable by a few ingenious sequences (like the freak-family's dinner party inside the crypt), some atmospheric set pieces and professional make-up effects. The zombies look good and the giant eyeball scene is the only slightly suspenseful moment in the entire film. Bava also obviously attempted to insert humor and parody in his screenplay but this was far from effective (I didn't laugh, at least). I'm not even going to waste words on the acting performances as they are truly amateurish. Most cast-members are nonetheless Bava regulars who acted remarkably better in "Foto di Goia" and "Demons". Overall, Graveyard Disturbance is worth a peek in case you've already seen every other Italian horror film or when you're really bored.

The Tavern by the Cemetery.

[morrison-dylan-fan · 3/10 · 29 October 2016]

Nearing the end of the October Challenge on IMDb's Horror board,I decided that it was time to watch an easy-going flick by Lamberto Bava. Looking round for info on his titles,I stumbled on a Bava Horror that has recently been put online,which led to me deciding to disturb the graveyard.

View on the film:

Screened on TV during the final wave of Italian Horror,co- writer/(along with Dardano Sacchetti) director Lamberto Bava (who has a pretty funny cameo) & cinematographer Gianlorenzo Battaglia use the low budget to their advantage,as waves from Simon Boswell's Shoegaze score brew a dreamy atmosphere of fog drenched blue surrounding the group.

Signally the direction he would soon go in,Bava pulls the Horror outline away for a "Family" Fantasy flick,featuring no serious threat,and all the ghostly creeps they faced being de-fanged.

Despite reuniting with cute actress Lea Martino,the screenplay by Bava and Sacchetti leaves the gang running in inane circles,with the writers giving up on making the characters anything but flat,or giving them any real challenges,as the graveyard is left undisturbed.

A Fun Horror Movie

[ladymidath · 8/10 · 3 September 2013]

I know this movie has mostly bad reviews, but I kind of liked it. I don't think it's meant to be a really frightening or heavy horror film, but rather lighter with a sense of humour. Five twentysomethings decide to shoplift more for fun than anything else, they get away but find themselves lost in a heavily wooded area where they see a horse drawn hearse without a driver.

Seriously creeped out, they continue in their van until they become bogged and have to continue on foot.

They come across the ruins of a castle and an old graveyard and oddly enough a tavern. The scarred proprietor who had followed them earlier tells them the story of a Knight Templer and a wager.

This is when the story takes off, the five kids find themselves trapped in an endless catacomb where they encounter all sorts of undead creatures.

This film isn't perfect, the dialogue is stilted and some of the special effects are cheesy by today's standard, but if you want a quirky fun film that isn't too taxing on the brain, this is it.

It's disturbing alright, but for all the wrong reasons.

[BA_Harrison · 2/10 · 14 October 2018]

How the hell did director Lamberto Bava go from the more than reasonable A Blade In The Dark and the silly but extremely fun Demons, to utter garbage like made-for-TV movie Graveyard Disturbance? I know Demons was short on logic at times (I always laugh at the helicopter crashing through the roof of the cinema and the display that features a real sword), but this one makes no sense whatsoever, which might be okay if it wasn't so dull.

The film starts as a group of young shoplifters flee the scene of their crime in the most conspicuous vehicle imaginable, a van covered in garish airbrushed paintings. Unsurprisingly, the police are soon onto them, forcing the robbers to take a backroad where they eventually become stuck in a stream. Continuing on foot, they arrive at a strange tavern where the owner, who has one eye that lights up red like the Terminator, tells the group that if they spend one night in the catacombs below, they will be entitled to a vast treasure.

The rest of the film sees the gang wandering through cobweb strewn tunnels, encountering crap zombies and monsters (one of which wears a KISS T-shirt), while trying to find the way out. Several failed attempts at escaping the tunnels leaves the youngsters despondent and the viewer struggling to stay awake. One character posits the theory that they are all dead, which wouldn't exactly be the most original explanation but would at least have made sense, the catacombs being purgatory for the thieves. But rather than have his film adhere to any form of logic, Bava ends matters with the gang being released from the catacombs only for them to be arrested by the police as they leave.

There's no viable reason given for their strange experiences, making the whole film a total waste of time, and a rather boring one at that.

GRAVEYARD DISTURBANCE (TV) (Lamberto Bava, 1987) **

[Bunuel1976 · 1 November 2011]

Given the macabre subject matter (accompanied by a heavy-metal soundtrack), I knew I would be less enthused about watching this Bava effort. Still, the opening is not too bad, with even an effective empty coach ride shot in slow-motion and set against a misty backdrop that actually evokes the director's father's BLACK Sunday (1960; which Lamberto would himself remake 30 years later!). However, the teen protagonists of the film under review do not exactly set the screen on fire: after robbing a grocery store just for kicks, they head for a weekend of mindless fun but lose their way and end up smack in the middle of a cemetery! After abandoning the van in a river, they have to continue on foot – occasionally, a shady figure that is clearly observing them makes itself felt.

Anyway, they find a spot where to spend the night but one of the kids decides he cannot sleep in such a morbid atmosphere and, wandering about, stumbles on an inn! He wakes his pals and they go in, where the one-eyed and incessantly cackling bartender proves to be the same man we had seen spying the group. After they unwisely attempt a wise-cracking approach a' la AN American WEREWOLF IN London (1981; which they even refer to!), the teenagers notice a pot full of money and, asking about it, are told that those are the as-yet-uncollected funds of a wager coming to anybody making it though the night spent in the maze of catacombs underneath the inn. More out of sheer greed than a sense of adventure, the group accept to undertake this proposition.

From here on in, the tone is necessarily claustrophobic, heavy-handed (involving some flat EVIL DEAD-style attempts at gallows humor) and repetitive (since the characters often find themselves in a room already 'visited'). In the end, when the time is almost up (and after having encountered a variety of ghouls), one girl suggests that they follow their instincts rather than logic. The latter makes for a nice surreal touch but it arrives too late to save the film – especially when it transpires to not even have the courage of its convictions (interestingly, albeit unoriginally, the plot seems to be leading to a revelation in which the whole journey proves to be an acceptance of their own death by the protagonists – since we are shown their van being unaccountably found overturned by the Police – but, when the group finally emerge from the inn with their pockets filled with the bounty they had just won, these are taken by the oblivious law enforcers as merely additional loot, to the initial and long-forgotten petty crime, they will need to account for! Ultimately, for a much more artistically valid look at "A Night At The Cemetery" (the film's original Italian title), I would recommend Jean Rollin's THE IRON ROSE (1973)...

A pretty dreadful horror comedy washout

[Woodyanders · 2/10 · 28 March 2009]

The usually on-target Lamberto Bava, who will always have a special place in my little black heart for giving us the surreally spooky and outrageous ghoulathon "Demons," hits his profoundly putrid nadir with this hideously botched would-be horror flick parody. A quintet of wholly obnoxious and insufferable teenage gals and guys decide to spend an entire night in a musty, creepy, dirty and allegedly haunted old tomb. If these unlikable idiots survive the ordeal -- they're tediously stalked by a woefully ragged and less than frightening assortment of vampires and zombies -- they'll get their grubby paws on a valuable treasure. This completely thudding dud suffers tremendously from Bava's leaden direction, which is sadly bereft of his trademark dazzling style, pungent brooding atmosphere, and frenzied logic-be-damned breakneck pacing. Instead we've got a dreary gradual tempo, insipid and unspectacular cinematography that goes overboard on clunky, murky and unappealing fog-ridden visuals, and an embarrassingly ham-handed attempt at a jokey overripe farcical tone. Worse yet, the adolescent characters are totally detestable: they whine, scream, bicker, play dumb pranks on each other, act in a most selfish and annoying manner, and generally wear out their welcome some 10-odd minutes into the picture. The lame and tiresome dialogue is absolutely painful on the ears (sample moronic banter: "Can't you stretch your vocabulary any further that that?" "Yeah, defecation, okay?"). Bava co-wrote the poor, hopelessly witless and unfunny script with insanely prolific veteran Italian schlock movie scribe Dardano Sacchetti; they presumably slapped this piece of crud together during a single booze-sodden weekend. Actionless, laughless, and basically worthless, this incredibly bad bilge flat out stinks.

A painful disappointment

[agrajag-4 · 2/10 · 30 June 2000]

this is one of those typical movies in which a bunch of teens, driving around in their hippie van which they call a jeep, drive (quite logically) into a stream, astonishingly get stuck when they're driving against the current in 3-4 foot deep water, and go camp out in the nearby ruins of an old castle. the acting is pretty awful, and mixed with the actual dialog and plot, i just wanted every one of these adolescent abominations to die (it being a horror movie, after all). i won't put in any spoilers, but...let's just say i was disappointed to the fullest degree on that note. in fact, i'll add that i was disappointed by the zombies, or vampire-zombies, or whatever, as they didn't attack ANYTHING. one of them fondled another one's breast and got slapped for it, and one popped out of the shadows and just kind of gave up pursuit, but that was it. i was hoping for something of the gorier, more eurohorror-ish kind a la Zombie or The Beyond. instead, i got Mystery Science Theater 3000 material... but without the robots.

More John Old Jr.

[BandSAboutMovies · 3/10 · 15 October 2021]

I have a complicated relationship with Lamberto Bava. And by that, I mean that for every Demons, there's a Devilfish. But then I realize that I kind of like Blastfighter, love Macabre and even kind of dig Delirium. I always give him another chance and I feel like someday, I won't feel like Lamberto is going to let me down every time I see his signature on a film.

In July of 1986, Lamberto was hired to create five TV movies under the title Brivido Giallo (Yellow Thrill). Of course, none of these were giallo and only four got made: Until Death, The Ogre, Dinner with a Vampire and this film.

Originally titled Dentro il cimitero (Inside the Cemetery), this spoof of Italian horror is about five twnetysomething teenagers who make a bet with an entire town - which is literally referred to as the kind of place from An American Werewolf In London - to see if they can survive one evening inside a series of catacombs. Not only are there zombies and vampires in there, there's also death itself.

It all starts off with plenty of promise, as our gang of young punks has the most 80s van ever, complete with an image from Heavy Metal, U2 and Madonna. After the crew shoplifts, they go on the run and straight into supernatural trouble.

The person they're stealing from? Lamberto. Which is only fair, as he uses this movie to rip off everything from - sorry, spoof or pay homage to - Carnival of Souls and Phenomena to his father's Black Sunday and any number of zombie movies.

So where does the eating come in? Well, there's one great scene in here where an entire family of multiple eyed creatures all dine on rotten food. This moment had to have inspired Pan's Labyrinth, if only for Guillermo del Toro to try to make something good out of, well, another movie where Lamberto lets me down.

Absurdly Love this Film

[megaruda · 8/10 · 19 November 2022]

Ive seen a lot of giallos, even the most famous ones follow the same structure, while the generic ones dont even follow a main character properly and its just random killling and we find the protagonist at min 40.

This is one of the only originall giallo supernatural inspired original films.

This might be the only film of the decade were no character dies, I found that amazing, it entertained me enough, I spent enough time with the characters to care for them (unlike every single other giallo/horror from italy) and I loved the happy ending, my only critique is thst the reaper shouldnt have died with a stab lol, but at the same time it made it even funnier.
