Summary
Reviewers say 'Veneciafrenia' garners mixed reactions, with praise for its atmospheric setting and Venice's unique backdrop. Positive reviews commend the eerie atmosphere, creative kills, and visual appeal. Conversely, critics cite poor acting, a weak script, and incoherent plot development. The film's attempt to merge slasher elements with a critique of mass tourism is noted, though many find this blend unsuccessful. Cinematography receives some acclaim, but overall execution is deemed uneven and disappointing by many.

Could be better
But not so bad as some reviews points. Too many loose ends asking to be developed. Yet thinking if this is some critic to Italian police. Lots of murders but they´re always one step behind. An interesting movie about globalization.
The worst? It´s almost impossible an italian policeman speaks spannish. And so passive.
The best. The concept. Scary. Indeed. Make us think twice if we should visit Venice.
That's a big point in favour of this movie.

I watched this while having the flu. I dont know how I watched the whole movie, I think only because the fever.
I dont understand how the use actual money to make things like this, give me the money and i´ll plant some really good peppers and potatoes on a field.
Its terrible.

Terrible Actors, Poor Script
I was fan of Alex De La iglesia since I was a kid, my favorites movies so far are "Perdita Durango" "El Día de la Bestia" and "Las Brujas de Zugarramurdi" all of them was fresh, and fun. Today: is a big letdown. The reason I watched the entire movie is because the locations and the costumes. I was intrigue about a slasher movie in Venice (sounds very exotic).
The characters are CHILDLISH and ANNOYING. The script is so poor that I was getting dizzy. Skip it at all cost.

Not Iglesia's Best, but delivers what it sets out to do!
As a huge fan of Alex De La Iglesia, I've had this film on my radar ever since I saw the "coming soon" trailer for this in a theater in Valencia, Spain back in early 2022...I waited and waited, hoping it would drop on a streamer in the U. S.... Finally the digital showed up on sale and had to snag it..mannnn, its about time!
Though nowhere near as great as some of my fav Iglesia flicks, like Day of the Beast (1995), The Last Circus (2010) or The Bar (2017), this Cult-sploitation/Slasher film delivers on a capable cast, a perfectly recognizable location (gorgeous Venice), eerie old building locations & plenty of blood & gore! The opening credits and final shot is reminiscent of a 60s/70s Giallo film. One of the final kills was especially creative (no spoilers). Sure, you've seen plenty of "annoying young people getting killed one by one" before, and the final FINAL act goes on a little too long, but Iglesia manages to put a hip, stylistic flare that I still enjoyed! No regrets blind buying this one!

Don't believe the haters
Thoroughly enjoyable, fun and very dark film.
The film follows a bunch of young tourists from spain as they venture in the magic and mysterious streets of Venice.
The film will have you laughing quite a few times but also it'll have you rooting for the main characters, who will become very human and close to your heart.
The photography and production design is superb as well as its original soundtrack.
Cosimo Fusco, the main antagonist plays two different characters and it's just delicious.
This is a great film that seems half role play game and half slasher. Contains elements of classic Italian and Spanish horror films.
Date to watch it, I promise it won't bore you at all.
