Italian Witch Series “Luna Nera” Will Soon Cast Its Spell On Netflix

Netflix has revealed that its third Italian original will premiere in just a few days. Titled “Luna Nera” (Black Moon), the series is rooted in history and centers on a group of Italian women accused of witchcraft in the 17th century. “Luna Nera” marks the first Italian series entirely written and directed by women, which should give it a unique perspective.

Saw Meets Martyrs In The Russian Horror ‘Sleepless Beauty’

What would happen if you were locked between four walls and tortured without explanation? In director Pavel Khvaleev‘s Sleepless Beauty, a woman is kidnapped and subjected to the cruel tests and finds herself on a bloody journey in Russia.
