Description: Set in Rome’s elite circles, the story begins when Ippolita, the young daughter of a wealthy family, has been confined to a wheelchair for years after a tragic car accident that claimed her mother. As Ippolita struggles with her paralysis and growing emotional dependence on her father, deeper forces begin to stir.
A secular parapsychologist is brought in for radical hypnosis work. Under his sessions, Ippolita’s mind unlocks memories of a distant ancestor who made a pact with the devil—and whose execution by the Inquisition left a curse behind.
As the hypnotic trance transforms into true possession, Ippolita begins using telekinetic power, committing acts of violence, and chasing the legacy of a demonic seed — one that threatens to become the birth of evil itself.
With the Vatican forcibly drawn into the case, a formal exorcism is launched. The final showdown takes place amid the historic ruins of Rome, where faith, fear and supernatural horror collide—and where Ippolita must face the darkness within her and the fate of her ancestral transgression.
Visually intense, drenched in baroque horror and supernatural dread, The Antichrist blends Italian Gothic tradition with 1970s demonic possession mania, making it a standout for cult collectors and horror aficionados alike.
