“A Classic Horror Story” (*1/2 out of four) was a not-so-classic horror thriller set in southern Italy in which various strangers (Matilda Anna Ingrid-Lutz, Francesco Russo, Peppino Mazzotta, and others) become (yawn) stranded in the woods in which they soon find their life is in danger and they all have to unite and fight back to survive. Mistitled movie is swallowed up by its own self-importance and pretentious ponderousness. Film actually throws in a few winking references to “Titanic” which don”t exactly help the movie to stay afloat. Striking cinematography by Emanuele Pasquet is film’s only asset.
