Marco Castellini •
A quiet small town in the American countryside is shaken by a wave of brutal murders. Tim, the son of a woman killed several years earlier because she was suspected of being a witch, convinces himself that he is the author of the murders, but the culprit is elsewhere... A "genre" director ("After Life", "American Gothic") directs John Cassavetes (unforgettable protagonist of "Rosemary's Baby") in this supernatural thriller-horror. Despite the good premises, as often happens in our beloved genre, the result does not live up to expectations: the film drags tediously until the decent final twist. Nothing to report for a horror "like so many"... negligible.

Toxic Fletch

4 /10

It has been a year since Dr. Sam Cordell moved to the peaceful little New England town of Galen with his teenage daughter, but that peace is soon shattered by a series of brutal rapes. The doctor, his cop friend, and a female reporter have their hands full trying to figure out who or what is responsible while a teenage boy suffering from horrible nightmares coinciding with the rapes is under suspicion.

The sad part is my summary has more clarity than this film. Suffering from plot holes, a subplot about Dr. Cordell's past that does nowhere and sloppy production, what could have been an interesting atmospheric marriage of 70s satanic films and 80s slasher films instead becomes its own victim and dies an uneventful death onscreen.

I give it a 4/10
