Gli Arcangeli

About This Movie

So, Gli Arcangeli—it's an interesting blend of drama and horror that delves deep into childhood innocence and the shadows that lurk just beneath. The story pivots on this young boy, Christian, whose baptism takes a strange turn, hinting at something more ominous. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and there's a slow burn to the pacing that really allows the themes of fear and misunderstanding to simmer. I found the practical effects quite compelling for a film of its time; they add a raw edge that feels almost tangible. Performances, especially from the child actor, are haunting but grounded. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from exploring darker corners of faith and fear, making it a curious watch for collectors like us.
