An aspiring art restorer travels to a small Italian village to restore a medieval painting to its former glory. Little does he know that he is putting his life in danger from an evil curse and a monster born of myth and brutal pain. Lauren Lavera has stated that she has only seen part of this film. The WellPerformed by Ginny Vee. “The Well,” the setting of “Hostel,” meets “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and indeed old Italian gore, a la Umberto Lenzi. I have been waiting for this one since Stieges 2023 and directed by Zampaglione (Tulpa) I was not disappointed. La Vera (Terrifier 2) carried the “final girl” crown well, although of course in a more modest way. The acting of the four prisoners was excellent and the cinematography top notch. The plot was a bit weak, but the gore and other visuals made up for it. Zampaglione really did what Rob Zombie usually ruins. He even had a family member come in to star in the movie.
