(1972) Gianni Garko, Agostina Belli, Roberto Maldera, Teresa Gimpera, William Vanders. Wow. This is a grim, superbly made Euro-horror film, much of it told in flashback. Garco’s car breaks down as he’s driving through the darkened countryside. He seeks help from a strange family. Their father insists he spend the night. He soon learns they have a mysterious secret and live in fear of horrid wurdulak, who wishes to kill them all and transform them into the same kind of horrible creatures. This is one of those movies where you don’t know which character to trust. Highly atmospheric. There are some pretty intense heart-staking scenes. Rated R for nudity and violence. Excellent color, widescreen, from 35mm.
