A group of hoodlums breaks into a house looking for something, and in the process takes the owners hostage. Sounds like something that you've seen in a ton of movies, right? Well, that's where "L'orafo" ("The Goldsmith" in English) takes a different turn. You see, there were a number of things that the home invaders didn't know about this particular couple.
Vincenzio Ricchiuto's movie is a fine addition to the Euro-horror genre. Undeniably shocking, and even kind of gross in a few scenes, it still manages to put a fun spin on the home invasion cliche. I doubt that it'll ever get remembered as an all-time classic, but it doesn't need to be. It's enjoyable for what it is.
Stefania Casini (Giovanna) co-starred with Robert DeNiro and Gerard Depardieu in Bernardo Bertolucci's "1900".
