Interesting facts

Il medium is a 1980 Italian film directed by Silvio Amadio.

Production

Il medium was developed due to director Silvio Amadio's interest in the occult, which he learned through his friend Demofilo Fidani. Fidani was a filmmaker who prominently worked on low budget Italian Westerns, and by the 1980s had become more known for his work in esoterism, including writing some novels on the subject. Amadio and Fidani had discussed their mutual interest in the topic since the 1970s.

Among the screenwriters was Claudio Fragasso, who said he was approached by the director along with a psychic medium who told him that "the dead had told them [he] should write this script." Fragasso also stated that this was the first script he had worked on, even before Meet Him and Die. A film scenario with the same title was in Rome SIAE offices that were dated from October 17, 1975.
