The movie also takes inspiration from the cinema of Lucio Fulci and Clive Barker.

Cosmic Films releases the Italian shocker LENSKEEPER to Blu-ray and DVD July 6, and it will also play on streaming platforms throughout the summer. Subtitled “ALLE PORTE DELL’ABISSO (AT THE GATES OF THE ABYSS), it was written and directed by Luca Canale Brucculeri and stars Diamara Ferrero, Paolo Mazzini, Riccardo Livermore, Lara Leggero and Eugenio Gradabosco. The synopsis: “A blood-covered woman is found wandering at night with no memory of what happened. Under interrogation, her fragmented story reveals visions and encounters where reality merges with the monstrous.”
