The dirt on The Dirt
|
A subtle mix of horror, thriller and drama, THE DIRT, centers on a married woman (Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni), a photographer, and her all-consuming wish to have a child. During the course of the film, this woman develops a morbid relationship with an unusual plant that grows in her living room, one that holds many secrets—but none as dark as the woman has herself.
The film, directed by Simona and Claudio Simonetti, featuring a score composed and performed by legendary musician Claudio Simonetti (of GOBLIN fame), as well as special makeup FX courtesy of Italian FX icon Sergio Stivaletti.

Horror.com got a sneak peek at the film. It's truly effective, engrossing (as well as gross... in all the right ways!), and engaging. Do check it out, and hurry if you're a fan of those in the Dario Argento orbit.
