The ending is preposterously shoddy, typical of a film that is mostly, yes, agony.

It's a shame that, for all of its unnerving tonal registers, not to mention a gorgeous score, Agony winds up with a painfully predictable ending.

Unfortunately, titling a film Agony invites facetious comments about what it feels like to have to watch it.

Michele Civetta's début has all the elements of the Gothic in their proper places, with a hint of giallo, but there is simply no narrative glue to hold them together.

It is an essential watch for anyone who loves haunted castles, psychic visions, and familial curses.

Details Edge of your seat Psychological thriller! The movie is one of the ages, feeling elements of Hitchcock. Set in such a beautiful backdrop of Italy. A woman(Asia Argento)confronting the past visions of her mother, and a figure of a lady in red. Asia encapulates the character of a. woman grappling with the truth and spinning down a dark web of psychosis. The line between truth and reality leave the viewer in complete suspense throughout the film. The score only further adds in to the feeling and experience for the viewer. A true masterpieces that makes the whole experience enjoyable and leaves one engaged for throughout. Great directorial debut!

Gripping Thriller. Psychological gothic horror with echoes of an old Giallo. Beautiful locations and a strong performance from Asia Argento, Franco Nero and Rade Serbedzija.
