THE HOLY BOY is a new horror drama from Italy (org. title: La valle dei sorrisi), and it was so much better than I ever dared hope. This is a religious horror story, but unlike the typical exorcism plot we’ve seen so many times. Read our full #TheHolyBoy movie review!

I feel like it’s been a long time between good Italian horrors, and #TheHolyBoy ticked all the box’s. Nice to have #nziff include some genre film.
A bit king-ish and would loved a bit more exploration of the disaster but good!

Holy hell #TheHolyBoy is an outright knock out. It's stylish and homage filled cinematography, densely packed cast, eerie score, and it's over riding theme on vices, trauma and what we do to hold it back, mixed in with some homosexual subtext, this is a horror that delivers! #19

The Holy Boy (BFI London Film Festival) review – a fierce, formidable, and heartbreaking coming-of-age horror
Praise be to Strippoli, Riondino, and Feltri, along with the divine cinematography of Cristiano Di Nicola and the unnerving score of Federico Bisozzi and Davide Tomat, for firmly placing Italian horror back on the map with The Holy Boy (La Valle dei Sorrisi). ★★★★ The pain and suffering we carry are just as significant as the pleasure and happiness in informing what it means to be human.

Critique de The Holy Boy : un film d’horreur aussi ambitieux que maîtrisé
The Holy Boy mélange avec maîtrise religion, horreur et drame dans une œuvre aussi riche que cohérente. Porté par une réalisation soignée et un excellent casting, le film captive jusqu’à une dernière demi-heure où l’horreur se fait bien plus frontale.

So every LFF there's always one film that I wouldn't have otherwise have heard of that jumps out at me. Next Sohee, Happyend, Gasoline Rainbow, Paris 13th district, and this year it was #TheHolyBoy an Italian Horror ♥️
