Simone Barbetti

An erotic horror movie dedicated to Joe D Amato, Hyde's Secret Nightmare combines the two genres and mixes them in equal parts. Cross-cut erotic and horror scenes are kept together by a thread of dramatic force bordering on obsession, paranoia, phobia, perversion, and lack of self-acceptance. Everything unfolds in an extreme world where sex seems the only way to attain a state of well-being.

Poetry of Eerie features 13 Poe-inspired short segments directed by a cadre of international filmmakers, filmed under tight constraints, offering abstract, atmospheric takes on the macabre.
