Malévolo: La Habitación Del Diablo

The plot is quite basic and involves an asylum and the ghost of a child, with some social commentary thrown in. I mean... it's nothing revolutionary but has its charm. Acting and script are ok. The pacing is definitely too slow tho and it really ruins the experience.

The mystery at the core of this "Italian Horror" is... how the hell did they manage to scrape together the financing for such a contemptuous letter to a once glorious genre? Everything in this snooze fest feels amateurish, even a few name actors with a proven track record succumb under the rubble. The final diagnosis leaves no hope for the fate of Italian horror cinema. The script is riddled with cliches and an extremely underdeveloped central character whose unlikability is her only defining characteristic. The only chills are provided by the quality of the film's third-class screenplay. I usually try not to speak of my cinematic disappointments, but this one really rubbed me the wrong way. The only truly horrific elements of this disastrous spaghetti horror are the staggering levels of incompetence displayed by both screenwriter and director. A real stinker!
