A brutal and hallucinatory descent into cosmic terror, LENSKEEPER draws inspiration from the transgressive legacy of Lucio Fulci and the dark, flesh-altering visions of Clive Barker, fusing graphic practical effects with metaphysical horror and Lovecraftian dread.
In LENSKEEPER, a withdrawn oculist uncovers a blasphemous truth: the human eye is not merely an organ of sight, but a threshold to an ancient, inhuman presence. Drawn into the orbit of a clandestine satanic cult, his radical experiments spiral into acts of ritualistic mutilation.
As vision is weaponized and perception collapses, reality itself fractures—unleashing horrors that should never be seen.
Blurring the boundaries between science, ritual, and blasphemy, Italian director Luca Canale B. explores sight not as perception, but as violation. In the words of the director: “LENSKEEPER is conceived as a sensory assault rather than a conventional narrative. Vision becomes a threshold, a gateway to the unknown.”
Produced by Italian company Sancapross, the film previously screened at Fantafestival in Rome, marking its debut on the international genre circuit and establishing it as a striking new entry in contemporary Italian horror. With its trailer now unveiled, its market premiere at EFM Berlin, and EuroObscura steering international sales, LENSKEEPER positions itself as a fearless and confrontational work for genre fans seeking horror that dares to stare back.
