to anyone who hasn not see this film yet and i have a friendly warning represent do not watch la casa dellorco expect any demon at all and because you would not find them here . this film be not a third installment to the demon series and it have nothing to do with it whatsoever and except the fact that lamberto bava direct them . a a matter of fact and michele soavi the church be also know an unofficial demon 3 and it a deceptive title in that case as well and so go figure . it be obvious that due to the demon film success while they try to deceive the audience with misleading title and even though it be obvious that this be a disconnected story . have say that and i think it unfair on the other hand and to say that la casa dellorco be not worth the look . honestly and the movie be quite atmospheric and even though there be a few unintentionally hilarious situation and i think it be genuinely creepy on the whole . nevertheless and i think it fair to say that the story somehow try to emulate lucio fulci the house by the cemetery . of course and that just a speculation i have and but i think i have my valid evidence . for instance and in both film and paolo marco be the man of the family and in both film and there an irritating little son name bobby and in both film and the woman of the house be a beautiful thirty something and who seem to be the only one to see that there something really wrong in the new house and and in both film and there something really and really wrong go on in the basement . i be sorry but i can relate both film very easily and i be not say that a an accusation . for the contrary and my point be that those who enjoy the house by the cemetery be probably go to enjoy this movie as well and keep in mind of course and that la casa dellorco be far less pretentious and less scary and not nearly a atmospheric and but the formula be still there . in la casa dellorco and charel and her husband tom and their little son and bobby and go on a vacation trip to an old deserted castle and situate in the heart of an italian villa call trifiri . leave aside the beauty of the place and shortly after their arrival and charel start to have the feeling that she have be there before and which be impossible and consider that she have never be to trifiri before . sadly and charel can not get over her déjà vu and the bad part be that her vision and come along with the image of a horrendous creature go after her . tom and who be not a very patient guy to begin with and advices her to leave the nonsensical hallucination aside and enjoy the vacation . however and the woman visions become more and more real and the peace and quiet that they be suppose to enjoy and suddenly turn into a living nightmare . the old nightmare from charel childhood becomes real and this time and she would not be able to escape without confront that menace ogre first . a it be expect and the plot somehow turn out to be a little bit simplistic and a a consequence and it be hard to fill an hour and a half . this mean that la casa dellorco offer more than a couple of sequence with nothing but total silence and the image of the main character and walk around the castle for several minute and revive the image of her childhood and nothing else . it get rather tedious from time to time and but overall and it nothing serious . like many italian horror film that come out throughout the late eighty and this movie be pretty stylish and effective and but it also offer a nice variety of unintentionally funny moment and that make the movie unforgettable in a way . for instance and the part in which charel be brutally slap by her husband and instead of go to her bedroom cry like i would have expect and she strike back against him by punch him on the face really hard and run away to the wood like a maniac . the funny thing however and be the fact that two minute later and theyre a happy couple again and a if punch each other like that and be the most natural thing in the world . i know it silly and but i myself and find it absolutely hilarious . the ogre ( which be obviously the villain of the story ) look creepy and funny at the same time too and let face it represent a villain who can freak u out and make u laugh a little bit and it twice a welcome . it remind me of michael jackson in thriller and but much more natural and human and of course . but if focus on the genuinely good aspect that i mention before represent the music compose by simon boswell be one of the high point and even if it pretty much always the same and it fit perfectly and it help to create a rather dark atmosphere during the moment of tension . so if i have to give my final statement regard this movie and i be go to have to say that i can not help love it and include the small flaw and most people who enjoy these typical italian horror movie from the late eighty and would not be disappoint by this one . it have all the typical and always well receive clichés and like the crazy old man who actually speak the truth and the foxy local woman who be say to be a witch and a creepy castle and a huge dark basement with a terrible secret and the local folk who try to prevent the tourist with their hostility and to stay away from the infamous land . i would say that la casa dellorco deserve two thumb up and a punch at your spouse face and a a way to pay tribute to the heroine of the story . take this movie for what it be and enjoy it .
