Dog Lay Afternoon

A remote farmhouse, isolated by the silent, rolling hills. Here, a young woman arrives to care for her ailing aunt, only to find the old woman’s husband harbors a monstrous secret within the barn. As the line between human depravity and animal savagery blurs, a suffocating dread takes root. This 1976 Italian genre hybrid is a raw and unsettling descent into psychological horror and rural thriller, where the true beast may not be the one in chains.
