Italian Horror

Italian Horror refers to a genre of films primarily produced in Italy, particularly from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Known for their stylistic flair and often graphic content, these films blend psychological horror, supernatural elements, and slasher motifs. Influential directors like Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci crafted visually striking narratives that often emphasize atmosphere over conventional storytelling. Common themes include existential dread, folklore, and the grotesque.
