Saturnalia is a high-concept homage to the cerebral and stylish world of the Italian Giallo films of the 1970s.  After the mysterious death of both her parents, Miriam Basconi, a newcomer to a prestigious boarding school, realizes that the macabre institution and its cruel headmistress are a front for  something much more evil.  The film is scored by the legendary Claudio Simonetti, composer of Suspiria, Deep Red, and Dawn of the Dead.
