La Casa nel vento dei morti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Holy heck, here’s an interesting new Italian film… La Casa nel Vento dei Morti<\/strong>, directed by Francesco Campanini and, of all people, Francesco Barilli, who made The Perfume of the Lady in Black<\/strong> way back in the early seventies. Barilli, who also works irregularly as an actor, also co-stars (as he did in Campanini’s previous production, Il solitario<\/strong>, a crime film which unfortunately I haven’t seen). The plot, apparently, goes like this:<\/p>\n

Italy 1947. Attilio is a former Fascist movie star who has been disgraced. In desperation, he joins a band of robbers to carry out a burglary. Afterwards, he and his friends are hunted by the police and escape to the hills to hide out. They take refuge in a house that proves to be a death trap.<\/p>\n

Reviews have been, well, middling. According to one reviewer on the IMDB: “If there was a bottom10 list for Italian horror movies, La casa nel vento dei morti<\/strong> would rule it for centuries”. Corriere della sella disagrees: “In the sad procession of cheap horror films, a nice exception. It’s a convincing departure from a noir, being set in Italy in 1946, it [emulates] certain films by Avati (as is quoted in the title, but not reproduced verbatim). Despite the many slips it’s a game effort thanks to actors convinced.”<\/p>\n

As well as Barilli, the cast also includes Luca Magri (also from Il solitario<\/strong>) and a load of people I haven’t heard of.<\/p>\n

Here’s a trailer:<\/p>\n
