Plot

Cast

Production

The film was shot in various Lazio locations.[1] Reportedly, Garrone had several difficulties working with lead actor Craig Hill.[1]

Reception

Rewieving the film, Italian critic Antonio Bruschini noted the similarities with Garrone's following western, Django the Bastard, particularly for its supernatural and gothic horror elements, even if "here the horror aspect is more implied than shown", and praised its production design and its sets, with its "wintry and gloomy landscapes that feel more suited to a thriller than a western".[2]
