n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I watched the film in Italian with misspelled English subtitles (which=wich, can't=cont). Sandra (Francesca Faiella) and Guilia are twins who share a consciousness. Guilia gets killed by "The Surgeon" who later hangs himself. Now as an adult and a reporter, she goes back to "The Surgeon's" house to film Klaus Kinki (Paolo Ricci) making a gonzo porno with mixed genres.Sandra senses and sees the ghost of her dead sister....and the killer is back. Then about an hour into the film I went WTF as the genres got mixed. It was like watching an Indian Jones film with Space Aliens. The genres come together in a sloppy fashion at the end...I think.The language was a barrier. I didn't like how things unfolded with the clues that they gave, it seemed they just threw stuff at the screen.PLOT SPOILER: The zombies looked like they came of the cover of "The Freeze" album (Rapid Reaction).Guide: F-bomb, sex? brief nudity (Alessandra Aulicino)
Sandra and her colleague Marco are instructed by their boss to create a service on the backstage of a pornographic film "auteur" as some sort of blackmail to not be redundant: everything would be normal journalistic routine, if the location was not the one where, 15 years earlier, was killed the sister of Sandra by a serial killer called "Il Chirurgo". Sandra decides to accept the job, but being involved in a new series of brutal crimes.Notes:After participating in several national and international Festival, the psychological horror "Bloodline" was released first in America and then finally arrived in Italy, his country of origin, in full Christmas period thanks to "Distribuzione Indipendente" which covers a alternative circuit of cinemas. The film was shot digitally and with few economic means, but in the United States is considered the indie movie of the rebirth of the horror genre in italy. Not surprisingly we find the special effects master Sergio Stivaletti and the music of the composer of "Profondo Rosso" Claudio Simonetti, two names that have made the history of Italian horror.The cast starred the actress is emerging Francesca Faiella, but there is also the former porn star Francesco Malcom. Really interesting performance of the actor Paolo Ricci in the role of Klaus Kinki.The director Edo Tagliavini has been the winner of numerous awards for his royal including the "Golden Globe".
A vicious madman known as The Surgeon conducts sick experiments deep in the woods. Journalists Sandra (a fine and sympathetic performance by Francesca Faiella) and Marco (solid Marco Benevento) find themselves running afoul of this maniac after they are assigned to document the making of a porno movie being shot in the same area. Director Edo Tagliavini, who also co-wrote the lively and eventful script with Mario Calamita and Taiyo Yamanuchi, relates the enjoyable story at a quick pace, does an able job of crafting a good deal of tension as well as a dark creepy atmosphere, draws the main characters with refreshing depth, delivers a handy helping of nasty gore, and tosses in both a spooky ghost and ferocious zombies for good measure. Moreover, the sound acting by the capable cast keeps the picture humming, with especially sturdy contributions from Virgilio Olivari as charming hunk Tony, Paolo Ricci as austere and demanding director Klaus Kinski, Francesco Malcom as the insecure Riccardo, and Valentina Del Rio as the depraved Samantha. Claudio Simonetti's ominous and energetic score hits the spirited shivery spot. Marina Kissopoulos' crisp widescreen cinematography provides an impressive polished look. Kudo are also in order for Sergio Stivaletti's excellent make-up f/x. Recommended viewing for fans of Italian horror.
(Please note I did just receive this film last month from the North American Distributor)This was an unexpected film from the studio that sent me screener's for this film-9 Days and Sloppy The Psychotic-the latter I received the film direct from the filmmakers. I enjoyed this film for a variety of reasons the film centers around a man they call "The Surgeon" who snaps when his wife dies as they do not have what it takes at the hospital to save her life with body parts so he goes on a killing spree to get body parts to stock up on. So I realize that this sounds similar to that of other horror films bent on vengeance but this is done somewhat differently it also is from Italy and has subtitles-there half the audience just left right? If you are a horror fan like myself then you will watch any films you can get your hands on and for me that is all genres. There are some graphic removal of body parts so be warned if you find and watch this. The premise is that surrounding a porn movie and they are shooting the film with The Surgeon running around killing members of the crew. Then the films takes a detour and some of the people come back as zombies-this part of the film really lost focus and would have played better had they just stuck to the original storyline. But all in all the acting was really good and the special effects were also top notch.
