There’s deep trouble and deep terror awaiting in this Italian fright film.
Uncork’d Entertainment will release THE WELL in select theaters this Friday, August 9, followed by VOD and digital platforms September 3. Directed by Federico Zampaglione (SHADOW, TULPA: DEMON OF DESIRE) from a script he wrote with Stefano Masi, it stars Lauren LaVera, the TERRIFIER 2 star who encores this fall in TERRIFIER 3, Claudia Gerini, Italian fright veteran Giovanni Lombardo Radice a.k.a. John Morghen (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, CANNIBAL FEROX), Taylor Zaudtke, Linda Zampaglione, Jonathan Dylan King, Lorenzo Renzi, Gianluigi Calvani, Yassine Fadel, Melanie Gaydos, Stefano Martinelli and Courage Oviawe. The synopsis: “On behalf of her father, a young American art restorer [LaVera] travels to a remote Italian village to bring a medieval painting back to its former glory. There she meets a beautiful but aging duchess and her troubled young daughter who warns her that the painting is cursed and that she must leave before she falls prey to an evil witch who drinks the blood of tourists to achieve eternal life.”
