I can’t pretend to love the Italian horror or the 1960s and 70s in the same way that many of you do, but that doesn’t mean I can’t respect a masterful homage when I see one. Luciano and Nicolás Onetti’s latest film Francesca looks to send viewers back in time to the bygone era of the Giallo film. Even I can’t wait to get my eyes on this one.

The film premiered at last year’s Sitges Film Festival, and now we have a brand new poster and trailer to share. Check it out below, and tell me these guys didn’t knock it out of the park. We hope to have release info in the near future. So stay tuned.

Plot Synopsis
It’s been 15 years since the disappearance of little Francesca, daughter of the renowned storyteller, poet and dramatist Vittorio Visconti, and the community is stalked by a psychopath bent on cleaning the city of “impure and damned souls”. Moretti and Succo, questioned by the ineffectiveness of the police force, are the detectives in charge of elucidating the mystery surrounding these “Dantesque” crimes. Francesca seems to have returned, but she is not be the same girl who everyone knew…
