The Etruscan Mask

About This Movie

The Etruscan Mask has this eerie atmosphere that creeps under your skin. Set against the backdrop of Siena’s ancient streets, it’s about these art students who stumble upon a cursed artifact. The pacing is a bit slow, but it builds tension gradually, which really works in its favor. There's a palpable sense of dread that hangs over the characters, especially with Samuel Powell's menacing presence. Practical effects are used effectively, giving it a gritty feel that enhances the horror elements. The performances are decent, but there’s something uniquely unsettling about the way the artifact itself becomes a character. It’s a blend of ancient lore and modern fears that makes it distinctive in the genre.
