Federico Zampaglione‘s (Shadow, Morrison) graphic supernatural shocker The Well will celebrate its World Premiere at this year’s edition of the Sitges Film Festival.
Directed by Zampaglione, from a script he co-wrote with Stefano Masi, the film stars Lauren LaVera (Terrifier 2) as Lisa Gray, an aspiring art restorer who visits a small Italian village to return a medieval painting to its former glory. Little does she realise that her life will be put in danger from an evil curse and a monster born of myth and brutal pain.
Starring alongside LaVera are Claudia Gerini (Diabolik, Love and Bullets, John Wick: Chapter 2), Giovanni Lombardo Radice (City of the Living Dead), Taylor Zaudtke (Sadistic Intentions), Linda Zampaglione (Time Is Up), Jonathan Dylan King (From Scratch), Lorenzo Renzi (Romanzo Criminale), Gianluigi Calvani (The New Pope), Yassine Fadel (FBI: International), Melanie Gaydos, Stefano Martinelli and newcomer Courage Oviawe.
Commenting on the news, Zampaglione said: “I’m more than thrilled to have the world premiere of The Well in Sitges, a festival that I truly love. Being part of the Midnight X-treme section is very exciting and it’ s the perfect home for my new movie … since The Well is actually very, very extreme ! Get ready companeros!”
The Well will screen on Friday 6 October as part of the festival’s ‘Midnight X-treme’ strand.
