NYMPHA

Sarah is an American girl who, embarking on the path of the Lord, arrives at a convent of cloistered nuns in Italy. During her stay at the convent, she will have visions belonging to a young woman named Nympha who, years earlier, suffered violence at the hands of her grandfather Geremia, who justified his wicked actions by saying he acted by the hand of the Lord. However, in the convent of the "New Order" where Sarah resides, the nuns seem to have acquired Geremia's attitudes towards the young Sarah… Premise: this version of "NyMpha" that I am about to examine is the "screener" version, that is, the absolute preview version reserved for: film industry professionals, journalists, critics, distributors, and producers; therefore, very likely, the one I am about to describe will not be the final version of the film! "NyMpha" is the fifth film by the Italian Ivan Zuccon, who with this work demonstrates having reached true maturity behind the camera! Compared to his previous films, in the cast of "NyMpha" stand out names of international fame such as Tiffany Shepis (already seen in horror films like: "Bloody murder 2", "Tromeo and Juliet", "Ted Bundy" and "Abominable", to name a few) and Allan McKenna (Two stops to bank). The story is based on an old subject written by the duo Ivan Zuccon/Ivo Gazzarini (the same duo who wrote the screenplay for Ivan Zuccon's previous film "Bad brains" in 2005). The credentials, this "NyMpha" seems to have them all: excellent the moments of tension, excellent scenes and splatter effects (for example, the torture scenes), an abundant dose of full nudity (very often the director shows us the protagonist Tiffany Shepis as "mom made her"), excellent acting by the actors and, as always, the good Zuccon shows he has talent as a director. Of great impact and suggestion is, then, the music that manages to effectively mirror the moments of tension. Overall, then, "NyMpha" appears as an excellent film that manages to keep the viewer glued to the TV from start to finish. The viewing is really recommended to all horror lovers. Rating rounded down.
