Alessio Rinaldi, a 25-year-old director, gets the charge from a producer to write the script of his first movie with Ubaldo Terzani, a well-known writer of horror novels. Alessio moves into Terzani's house to start this collaboration, and a strange relationship of psychological dependence grows between them: Ubaldo Terzani unveils his dark side, and Alessio fall in a desperate depth of craziness and nightmares. There is a reason why Terzani's bestsellers are so frightening ... Alessio will discover that reality can be unexpectedly more terrifying than every brainchild, and he will have to fight hard to escape Ubaldo Terzani's jaws.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic dive into psychological horror where creative obsession blurs the line between nightmare and reality.

  • A masterclass in mood, leaning heavily on atmosphere over gore to unsettle and disorient.
  • Anchored by a hypnotic central performance that captures the slow spiral into madness.
  • Perfect for fans of meta-horror and the psychological torment found in films like *Session 9* or *The Reflecting Skin*.
  • Practical effects and surreal imagery meld to evoke a waking nightmare that lingers long after the credits.
