Splatter, soft-core and heavy metal are the explosive mixture injected by Alexander Michaud to slide over the sixty minutes of Clean. For some points of view it’s an amateur work, from other it’s mature. At the first group belong photography (not always well-defined) and editing (unsure and unfortunate in breaks), while the direction moves well through close-up, details and rapid movements incrementing tension involving audience to feel like a voyeuristic eye beside a wall.

Uno scrittore e una illustratrice si recano su un’isola del Mediterraneo per soggiornare in una villa di campagna dove, due anni prima, è avvenuto l’omicidio di sette persone.

As far back as I can remember, haunted house films have been a part of the horror genre for … ever! Films such as The House on Haunted Hill, The Haunting, Amityville Horror, Poltergeist and Paranormal Activity … to name a few. There is something about that “creaky door”, shadows on the wall, strange noises, all the usual igredients that make haunted house films what they are meant to be scary! However, this isn’t a “haunted house” per say, it is something “else” that is haunted. I had heard about this film when it came out and the hype about how it was the scariest film since The Exorcist. Well, for me, that is some pretty big shoes to fill. So, is it as scary as The Exorcist? Read my review and find out.

Ivan Zuccon displays to a broad extent the current (and past) Italian silver screen: almost passed by in Italy but well esteemed abroad. It sounds unbelievable but his own words will confirm how it can be a director gets powerless to find a home distributor and has to put up with it, needing therefore to head onto a european (at first) and american (thereafter) market without even taking into account the possibility of looking around himself.
