The year is 1979, and Miriam Basconi is a teenager whose parents are killed under mysterious circumstances. As a result, she is shipped off to the prestigious Alstroemerias Academy, a preparatory school for America's elite orphaned children. Miriam must survive the cruel and sadistic behavior of Headmistress Ms. Hemlock. From day one, Miriam can tell something is off with her new home. Now she must discover the truth of what's happening to her fellow students behind closed doors. But instead, she uncovers the surreal world living and breathing inside of Alstroemerias Academy.
Saturnalia is a high concept homage to the cerebral and stylish world of Italian Giallo films and Italian Supernatural Horror of the '70s. The score is composed by Claudio Simonetti of Goblin, who created all of the music for Dario Argento's classic Giallo films.
