Lara, the host of a paranormal radio show, is notified that her missing ex boyfriend has turned up dead in a small village. She comes to learn that he was conducting experiments on recording supernatural imagery projected onto TV screens. She decides to try and find out what happened in the creepy insular town, but finds herself caught in a much deeper mystery than anticipated.
Only being familiar with the directors previous film In a Glass Cage, I was expecting an intense and highly disturbing ride, but what i got was a perfectly paced, genuinely creepy supernatural mystery. Despite a few loose ends, this film is fantastic. The way each clue presents itself and how the mystery unfolds reminds me of Twin Peaks, with an atmosphere as thick as any Lynch film (though much less abstract). Its shot very dramatically with rich hues of blue and pitch black dominating the screen. The dialog is realistic without getting boring, and the acting is solid and underplayed. If i were to compare it to any movie, it would be Pupi Ivati’s The House With Laughing Windows, though they're still quite different from one another. I don't want to reveal too much about it plot wise, so I'll just say that I highly recommend it and that it's a shame that this movie hasn't got a wider following.
