You’d be forgiven for thinking it was pretty hard to make a work of literature feel as scary, grotesque and alarming as a film. After all, in a visual medium, you can see everything that unfolds in front of you.

We can all relate to parents with different political views, being bossed around by airline workers, and maybe even lying for drugs (y’know, like a crime).

Italians know how to make horror movies. Directors from the country that birthed the Renaissance look back into their rich artistic history in order to add an aesthetic edge to their tales of terror. While scary Italian cinema reached its apex in the 1970s, the 1980s included quite a few invaluable contributions to the genre from Italian directors.
