They Have Changed Their Face
...hanno cambiato faccia
A mid-level automotive company employee is summoned to the mountain villa of owner Giovanni Nosferatu, only to discover a glossy netherworld where capitalism is the new vampirism, and escape may be impossible.
Why it matters
A surreal blend of vampirism and capitalist critique that turns the vampire myth into a sharp allegory for corporate exploitation.
- An unsettling early '70s Italian horror that fuses gothic vampire tropes with existential dread rooted in economic anxiety.
- Director Corrado Farina crafts a dreamlike atmosphere where glossy surfaces mask predatory power dynamics.
- Giovanni Nosferatu’s mountain villa becomes a claustrophobic hellscape—practical effects and moody cinematography heighten the uncanny.
- For fans of Euro-horror and socio-political allegories, this one’s a cult gem that prefigures later body horror’s obsession with corporate control.
