Storyline:

In the past few days Rome has been the scene of a singular event: when it rains, the manholes exhale a dense steam whose origin and composition is unknown. No one can imagine that whoever breathes in the mysterious substance will have to deal with what he/she represses, their darkest instincts, their anger. Not even the Morel family.

User review:

As an Italian I am always happy when a made in Italy horror is good and appreciated. I really liked the classic horror story that Strippoli had directed together with De Feo, this time Strippoli directs a good horror solo that reflects a lot the times of madness and urban violence that we are experiencing from the pandemic onwards.

The staging is good, the first part perhaps a little too slow, but then it meshes and becomes a tour de force of ferocity and violence, without revealing too much I can say that this film is not a masterpiece, but it certainly stands out. And deserves the view.

Special mention for Cristiana Dell’Anna (Patrizia in the masterpiece TV series Gomorra) who is not seen in many scenes in this film, but when she does see herself she offers a truly excellent performance.
