A bloody mad terror mask with the obvious mad stamp of De la Iglesia. In the film, five young Spanish tourists arrive in Venice in the middle of the carnival, but their cravings to party and get drunk go too far when a crazy man dressed as the jester Rigoletto begins to make their lives (rightly) impossible.

The Scream Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett
Another terrifying epic like ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ and ‘Halloween Night’ that is impossible to be discouraged.
