English subtitles OCRed, proofed and corrected.
Note : In between his most known films, The Church (1989) and Cemetery Man (1994), Michele Soavi directed this weird little movie, a horror movie about a Satanic cult clearly inspired by everything from Rosemary's Baby to the Manson family. Apparently, screenwriters Soavi and Dario Argento (who also produced) brought a bunch of different ideas to the project, and the third screenwriter, Gianni Romoli, had to bring it all together. The result is uneven and doesn't feel incredibly coherent, but it has a bunch of neat ideas, a sinister and dream-like mood, and some truly surreal sequences (some of them are dream sequences, others not), gorgeously shot. Killer Satanist hippies, the birth of the Antichrist, and hidden catacombs and sewers underneath the protagonist's house come together to create a weird, but weridly compelling story, with an unexpected ending.
This remaster looks very good, I could maybe have wished for ever so slightly less grain in some shots, but generally it's contrasty, with good, saturated colors and clear details, and both the original Italian sound and the English dub sound great. The commentary track is by Troy Howarth, who you might be familiar with by now if you watch any Italian horror.
