a snuff murder. Suspecting it’s a fake, Nami assembles a crew and follows
directions to an abandoned factory. Cue in elements from Dario Argento, David
Cronenberg and Sam Raimi, and the kinetic energy of an upstart director with
total disregard for the well-being of his cast! See! Grisly, Innovative
Killings! Thrill! At a Booming, Goblin-like score! Gasp... As Dario
Argento’s Suspiria is Riffed Off! “Fans of the more grotesque Italian
horror looking for the next big thing: here it is..” -VideoHound ADMISSION
