Occular terror in Imago Mortis

A trailer and poster for the new Italian genre pic, Imago Mortis, is here for you to feast your eyes on. I will be looking for this one when it hits the U.S. shores.

Synopsis: In the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim’s eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person’s retinas. He named this technique ‘thanatography’. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema.
