The House by the Edge of the Lake

The House by the Edge of the Lake is a horror film directed by Enzo G. Castellari. The film was re-edited several years after, with the title Kyra, La signora del lago (Kyra, the Lady of the Lake). The director Castellari defined that film as an "awful horror film with a very low cost budget". Cast Vincent Gardenia as Old painter Leonora Fani as Lilian Wolfango Soldati as Edoardo Patricia Adriani as Lilith Caterina Boratto as Kira Massimo Vanni as Manuel Production Director Enzo G. Castellari explained that the film was developed between his friendship with an aspiring film maker named Jose Sanchez. Castellari met him through his doctor and started teaching him how to write a script and took him on as an assistant. Castellari stated that his script was being finished for a Spanish producer to be shot in Costa Brava which led to Castellari taking charge in directing the film. Castellari's recollections are at odds with the film's credits which credit the film to Jose Maria Nunes a writer and director who was active in the film business since the 1950s with Sanchez only being credited as an actor in a small role.
