La Pantera Nera

In a remote Italian village, a young woman named Elisa is haunted by a series of disturbing visions and nightmares that seem to be connected to an ancient local legend of a mythical black panther. As the occurrences become more frequent and violent, Elisa begins to suspect that the legend might be more than just folklore. She finds herself drawn into a dark mystery involving her own past and the secrets of the secluded community.

La Pantera Nera received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences.
