    An Average Supernatural Chiller From An Average Director

    I'll be honest, I was not a fan of previous works by director/actor Roberto D'Antona, but I was surprised to see his newest film was not that bad and has some redeeming qualities, from some effective scares to some good acting. The keyword being SOME. The film follows Ethan D'Amico, played by director Roberto D'Antona, who is a man suffering from terrifying dreams. While he seeks help from a psychologist, after a couple of scary coincidences he begins to believe his dreams are more sinister than previously thought. He seeks help from a spiritual medium who reveals the true evil nature of his "dreams", and intends to help free him from it.

    First off, the scares were hit and miss. Some were very creepy and definitely effective, but some fall flat and end up being rudimentary, something you would see in every other supernatural horror films. Don't get me wrong some scenes were frightening, but a couple were too average to generate fear. The acting is also good and bad. Director Roberto D'Antona and Francesco Emulo do a respectable job portraying their characters, but other actors were sub-par, average first time actors. One scene in particular is acted so well in my opinion that it makes the seen that more scary. The demon/ghost is scary but nothing new, a long black haired woman who walks in a contorted manor similar to films like The Ring, The Grudge, and any other J-Horror ghost.

    In all, not really something I would recommend, but if you're bored and have nothing else to watch, you might get some good frights from this film.

    Pretty scary and funny.

    The Wicked Gift it's a good Italian horror (thriller) movie low budget. This one have a good story and in some scene it really scared me. The acting is really good and some scenes are really funny. The SFX were brilliantly executed and same story for the OST. This is a very good movie presented by a great team of well renowned European actors and producers. I liked this creepy movie! Recommended!

    A likable horror comedy

    This a likable italian horror comedy. I liked the buddy relationship between the two main characters. They rank on each other constantly like two good guy friends would and a lot of the dialogue is very funny. The acting performances weren't great and the film is on the low budget, but I didn't mind. I felt the jump scares were done pretty well. Also the demon backstory was pretty good too. Better than some higher budget films I've seen. Worth a watch.

    Horrible and pathetic

    This film is horrible and pathetic. Directed by some kind of a 12 years old kid with a strange idea of how a horror movie should be done. There is no tension or mystery. It is just awful. The real mystery is: why is everyone sleeping with the lights on? I don't know, I really can't save anything out of this garbage. Don't waste your time.
