Three
young people, enroute to an outdoor concert, are robbed of their valuables.
They go into a roadside market to use the facilities and suddenly David
gets the idea of spending the night inside (where they can eat and be
safe). Everything goes as planned but they soon face store-owner Adam,
a butcher who has other plans for them.
First
time director Lorenzo Lombardi - obviously a fan of Eli Roth (GREEN
INFERNO) and Quentin Tarantino - has lensed a great-looking
film here. He is strongly aided by special effects maestro Sergio Stivaletti
(long-time chief collaborator for Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava) who
also helmed his own extraordinary WAX
MASK (1997) and THREE
FACES OF TERROR (2004). This was the debut
project for each of the three victims and their performances are surprisingly
effective. Make note of Ottaviano Blitch, as the butcher. Due to this
film and a number of other short features, he is quickly making a name
for himself in Europe. Mr Lombardi's movie is a shining example in the
resurrection of Italian horror cinema for the 21st Century, joining
other distinguished films MY
LITTLE SISTER, SYMPHONY
IN BLOOD RED, LAST
HOUSE IN THE WOODS and Ruggerio Deodato's BALLAD
IN BLOOD.
An
