The Haunted House
La casa stregata
George and Lucia are newlyweds and have also been lucky enough to find a home at a low price , very low . Maybe too low . In fact the house is haunted by two lovers who, a thousand years ago, were surprised by the girl's mother who subsequently turned them into pillars of salt . But there is a way to break the magic and free the two lovers caught in the curse and it is all in the hands of the newlyweds on their wedding night . Will they succeed ?
Why it matters
A low-budget ’80s haunted house tale that blends cursed romance with DIY practical effects and earnest, if uneven, storytelling.
- A throwback to regional indie horror that wears its VHS-era roots proudly—no gloss, just gritty atmosphere and genuine ambition.
- Practical effects and makeup lean into charmingly rough-hewn territory, capturing that tactile ‘80s horror vibe fans cherish.
- For lovers of haunted house yarns with a folkloric twist, this one offers a curse-driven plot that’s more about mood than scares.
- Not a polished classic, but a rewarding watch for fans who dig obscure, under-the-radar hauntings with a dash of tragic romance.
