Quick Hit

Katarsis throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is shaky. Style keeps the blood warm.

Full Take

The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. Italian horror style carries a lot of the value here: texture, atmosphere, and a taste for beautiful decay. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at BAD.
