A Classic Horror Story

An ominous road trip goes sideways when five travelers in a camper collide with a tree, and the moment the crash is over, the landscape around them has changed. The road disappears into a wall of unbroken trees and a wooden house looms at the edge of sight, as if the map itself had been rewritten. The group must contend with an eerie, shifting environment that traps them in a strange loop of passages, clues, and danger. Communication frays and suspicions rise as the forest seems to echo with a past they cannot reach. What began as a routine drive spirals into a puzzle none of them are prepared to solve. A growing sense of inevitability shadows their choices endlessly.

Directed by Roberto De Feo, released in 2021, the film arrives as an original concept with a screenplay by David Bellini Milo Tissone and Lucio Besana, featuring Matilda Lutz, Francesco Russo and Peppino Mazzotta in the lead throughout the film.

Box office figures are not publicly reported for this title, and there is no widely cited worldwide gross to reference. It circulated primarily through limited release and streaming platforms, so a single commercial tally isn't easily accessible for viewers worldwide.

When it comes to accolades, there are no widely documented major awards or nominations for A Classic Horror Story. The film is often discussed within genre circles and festival circuits, yet it does not appear on prominent award rosters, making it more of a cult curiosity than a prize winner.

On reception, critics note a tense, claustrophobic mood and a willingness to bend a classic road trip premise into a nightmare of displacement. The film leans into mystery and unsettling visuals rather than gore, inviting speculation about memory and the limits of reality, while imagery stays with audiences after viewing.
