La croce dalle 7 pietre

1987 ·1h 28m · ★ 2.2 (30)

A man becomes a werewolf after being cursed by a black magic society. Only a jeweled necklace he wears can stop the transformations taking place.

Why it matters

A cult-fueled werewolf tale that blends occult mysticism with ’80s practical effects and low-budget charm.

  • Practical transformation effects lean into the era’s tactile gore, delivering that hands-on creature vibe fans crave.
  • The black magic society angle adds a folk horror twist to the standard lycanthropy curse, deepening the mythos.
  • Perfect for viewers who revel in ’80s indie horror—rough around the edges but packed with genre heart.
  • Not for those seeking polished storytelling, but a rewarding watch for fans of obscure, offbeat monster movies.
