Synopsis
On behalf of her father, a young American art restorer travels to a remote Italian village to bring a medieval painting back to its former glory. There she meets a beautiful but aging duchess and her troubled young daughter who warns her that the painting is cursed and that she must leave before she falls prey to an evil witch who drinks the blood of tourists to achieve eternal life.
Reviews
Dolores Quintana in a Nightmarish Conjurings review gave the film a positive review, writing, “The Well is an old-school Italian shocker that has a modern feel and twist, great production value, and an excellent lead-in Lauren LaVera. The cast does terrific work and makes the film believable and scary.”
Simon Foster in a Screen-Space review also praised the film, writing, “A gruesome, gleeful throwback to the Italian film sector’s heyday as the prime purveyor of Europe’s grisliest B-pics.
