English The Italian film Arcana is a very specific contribution to the horror genre, where the horror is not a plot element, but rather a certain abstraction of the surreality of the individual situations that unfold before the viewer's eyes. It is not always a spectacle that amazes, but it is a special spectacle that can mesmerize, because we simply don't see many films like this. It has its own specific tension. ()
