A new trailer for Saturnalia has arrived, and it’s basically dipped head-to-toe in 1970s Italian giallo goodness; bright colours, bad vibes, and the strong possibility that nobody in this school is making it to graduation.

Set in 1979, the film follows Miriam Basconi, a young woman shipped off to a prestigious academy after her parents die under… let’s say extremely suspicious circumstances. From the moment she steps through the door, things feel off. Students vanish in the night, shadowy figures lurk where they shouldn’t, and the headmistress runs the place like she’s one bad day away from locking everyone in the basement.

Naturally, Miriam starts digging and what she finds isn’t just a conspiracy, it’s something far worse: a hidden world bubbling beneath the school, where nightmares aren’t just figments of the imagination, but terrifyingly real.

Directed by Daniel Lerch, Saturnalia leans hard into its influences, pulling from the golden age of Italian horror with a synth-heavy score from Claudio Simonetti of Goblin, the same musical DNA that powered Suspiria and Dawn of the Dead. So yes, expect atmosphere you can practically choke on and tension that hums like a broken lightbulb.

Landing on Digital April 24 via Terror Films, Saturnalia looks like the kind of film where style, madness, and murder all share the same cramped campus, and nobody’s getting out alive.
