With the backdrop of Lake Como, how could a film go wrong? This film found a way.

The main character is simply not believable. I did like the characters of the "crazy" lady and the 13 year old girl. They did the best they could with the script they were handed. The story should have focused more on them.

This film was an opportunity lost. It was a good story in a fascinating setting, but the main character was never convincing enough. Serial killers, generally speaking, are astute and charming to some degree. This guy is none of those things. He's an unconvincing mix of Frankenstein and Freddy Kruger.

I do not recommend this film.

Carrisi is certainly one of the best writers we have around, I loved almost all of his novels, I am the abyss is certainly one of the best and this film adaptation is very faithful, perhaps less valid than the book, but still very interesting and above all denotes that Carrisi also has great talent as a director, a talent that had already been seen with his two previous films.

Also in this film there are disturbing and disturbing atmospheres, the pace is slow, but the film is never boring, the cast, although made up of little-known actors is still excellent, especially Gabriel Montesi who offers an absolutely terrifying and scary character.

Unfortunately, having already read the novel I knew all the scenes, but those who have not read the book will be able to enjoy a really cool thriller.

First of all is my opinion that follows, my 2cents, I would say.

This movie has a compelling story and a decent director., Indeed, the director is very good, I think.

But, man, the acting is terrible.

Actors seem they are reading from a panel, they are not convincing at all.

I guess it could be an effect the director would to make up, I don't know, I'm not an expert. And I would say, if this was the intention, it has a secure effect.

But, I think some actors in some scenes appears like rookie amateur.

Sure I'm incompetent, and I shouldn't have such strong opinion. I wanted to share my impressions about this film.
