Some places remember what we try to forget.

Feature Film·2026·PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR
Written & Directed by Riccardo Suriano·In Post-Production

Private Thomas Vitali, fleeing the horrors of war, seeks refuge in a remote mountain church. Where an unsettling presence forces him to confront the truth he has been running from.

Guilt has a form. Fear has a voice. And the woods remember everything.

The Director

  • Italian-born
  • Based in California
  • Six films written & directed

I make psychological horror about memory, grief, and the moment reality quietly starts to fracture. Stories where the haunting comes from inside the people, not the dark. Across a debut feature and five short films, the through-line is the same: fear as something intimate, built from silence rather than spectacle.
