Drawing self-comparisons they could never possibly live up to…well maybe to THE DA VINCI CODE…that movie pumps more shaft than a gunman…is Joseph Tito’s long languishing DEATH OF THE VIRGIN. Dubbed as a cross between Ron Howard’s film and THE EXORCIST (the holy grail of religious horror flicks), we have a new trailer for the 2009 indie effort below. Cop a view!
In 1432 a stunning apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared in the sleepy town of Caravaggio becoming the inspiration for the gruesome yet extraordinary paintings of the artist, Michelangelo Merisi (better known as Caravaggio). Now, in modern day 2011, three women travel to Caravaggio — Lisa, an aspiring art student, Claudia, a sexy Italian translator and May, a young woman about to enter the nunnery. Their world turns upside down when the apparition reappears and poor May becomes plagued by premonitions of shocking murders. Who will survive the terror of the supernatural as murders based on the paintings come true and the three women must discover an obscure secret to unlock a shocking destiny…
Natasha Allan, Maria Grazia Cucinotta (below), Daniel Baldock, Richard Eckles, Ingrid Evans, Jennifer Healy and Linda Valadas all star in the film.
DEATH OF THE VIRGIN hits DVD and Blu-ray September 20th. Order the former HERE, the latter HERE.
