Nicolas Pesce / USA / 2018 / 81 min / English

Adapting a short story by Ryû Murakami, Nicolas Pesce (The Eyes of My Mother) delivers a delightfully perverse mixture of body horror, psychosexual thriller and black comedy, which also pays homage to the audio-visual landscape of Italian giallo movies of the seventies.
