Horror Vault's take

Post-war rural Italy becomes the backdrop for a deeply unsettling investigation when a government official is dispatched to a remote town following a shocking act of violence committed by a young boy. The child's chilling explanation — that his actions were a necessary strike against the Devil himself — forces the investigator to confront questions that logic alone cannot answer. Steeped in the fog of 1950s provincial life, the film blurs the line between fanatical belief and something genuinely, terrifyingly real. Whether the evil here is supernatural or all too human may be the most disturbing question of all.
