wonderful. The scenic vistas
that the Romans travel through are wholly unlike anything in
an American Lovecraft film, and the film succeeds, in part,
because of that. The acting, while in a language I do not speak,
was solid and believable. If you want to know if someone is
a good actor? See if they can convey emotion through the language
barrier...
The film doesn't need much in
the way of effects, as the story itself deals with strange cultists
in the hills as opposed to monsters of otherworldly terror.
Even so, the film take a very minimalist approach to the cultists,
keeping them in shadow when seen. This heightens the overall
effect and makes them even more creepy.
The movie can be seen here
and if you register you can download the film.
