Description
As if under the spell of an irresistible compulsion to contemplate the mortification of the flesh, EXPERIMENTS IN TERROR exhumes, with fascinating perversity, a sarcophagus of film containing a beauty of unspeakable horror...
...a phantasmagoria of the strange, the frightful and the macabre...
...a pathological delirium populated by witchcraft, specters and the undead. Through visionary cinematography and masterful editing of rare images, these amoral authors probe every dark corner of the human psyche, driven by morbid curiosity and a striking attention to detail. This astonishing program explodes the codes of horror cinema, profoundly expanding the cinematic language of fear.
