Vesuvius

October 2012 •English

You'll never look at a statue of the Virgin Mary the same way again.

Gio Alvarez provides a convincing portrayal of a madman, and people can even argue if this short inclines toward the supernatural or the psychological. Whereas Grave Torture uses darkness impeccably, Vesuvius plays with light so well.
