Queens of Evil
Le regine
A young hippie kills a man, and seeks refuge at the lakeside house of three beautiful sisters, who seem to be hiding a dark secret.
Why it matters
A hypnotic blend of psychedelic folk horror and giallo sensibility, Queens of Evil unspools a slow-burning nightmare steeped in 1970s counterculture dread.
- A rare Italian folk-horror gem that channels the era’s mysticism and moral decay with eerie subtlety.
- The three sisters embody an unsettling blend of seduction and menace, their chilling secret a masterclass in atmospheric dread.
- Practical effects and dreamlike cinematography create a haunting mood that lingers long after the credits roll.
- Perfect for fans of occult-tinged horror who appreciate slow-burn tension over cheap scares — think early Bava meets the acid-soaked malaise of late-’60s Euro cinema.
