The trailer for LENSKEEPER, the new Italian horror
feature from director Luca Canale B., has been officially unveiled ahead of the film’s upcoming
presentation at the European Film Market in Berlin. International sales at EFM will be handled
by EuroObscura, a leading label specializing in bold and unconventional genre cinema.
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In LENSKEEPER, a withdrawn oculist uncovers a blasphemous truth: the human eye is not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.
Inspired by the transgressive cinema of Lucio Fulci and Clive Barker, Lenskeeper is a brutal descent into ocular horror and cosmic madness.
A reclusive oculist becomes entangled with a secret satanic cult after discovering that the human eye can be used as a gateway to an ancient entity. As experimental surgeries turn into ritualistic mutilations, vision itself becomes a curse—opening reality to unspeakable horrors.
Blending graphic practical effects, metaphysical terror, and Lovecraftian dread, Lenskeeper delivers an uncompromising experience where flesh, sight, and sanity are pushed beyond the point of no return.
