One of the best films by one of the greatest Italian exploitation directors, this is the “old dark house” genre by way of the grindhouse. In typical Fulci fashion, the movie sidesteps logic, instead reveling in gore and a truly haunting atmosphere. When a family moves into an old New England mansion, the young son sees things that no one else notices. It seems the previous owner didn’t take everything with him to the grave. We are presenting a specially imported, fully uncut European 35mm print, dubbed in English and — just to up the weirdness ante — with Danish subtitles. Bring a phrasebook, and a barf bag. Thanks to Blue Underground. (1981, 86 min, 35mm)
