The Age of Commercialism

Nice effects though.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Right up until a few minutes to the ending I was pretty happy with Shadow. This followed my favorite genre of someone getting abducted and having to find their way out, and the additional surprise abductions of the others also got me thinking this one was going to be nice and different from the usual. Early on it was thrilling with the hunters' chase through the woods. When the odd things started happening I was wondering who was doing it, the missing girl? The guy? The other hunter? And when the abductees woke up and saw who had brought them there it was super-creepy, just the way I like. This played out like a standard/good horror flick and for some reason my cable guide put it at two hours long, so when this ended at an hour and a half with that (unsatisfying) ending, I was really, really let down. I'll just say I never cared for those movies who lead you along, only to be ridiculous ending which negates everything you just saw.

I was compelled to write a review after seeing some negative reviews. A lot of the other reviewers were expecting some kind of Italian horror like argento etc. When they didn't get what they expected they wrote a bad review.I cant stand those geeky Italian horrors from film makers like argento so my views are not tainted by it! just because the directer is Italian doesn't mean its going to be similar to those films dur.This film was nicely filmed in beautiful locations with some smooth editing and quality camera work. I was interested from start to finish in what was happening. For those reviewers who said the film was mixed up obviously didn't get what it was all about. I wont ruin it by telling you.There was some gruesome imaginative torture porn for those of that are into that sort of thing but what kept me interested was the creepy atmosphere and how invested i was in the characters struggle from the start of the film right through to the end. In summary really not bad for a lower budget film, a directer who knows how to capture the moment and not give us enough time to question what just happened before the next drama ensues! This is something Hollywood fails with again and again with every genre so i gave it an 8 / 10

An incredible psychological movie where you don't understand the message of the director until the end; really, the watcher is transported in a pained atmosphere, and everything is presented like a dismal nightmare for principal character, who desperately fights for his life. I can't explain more cause I don't want to spoil, but I want to add that it's possible you can judge the first part of this title boring, and maybe you don't wrong, but I assure it's worthwhile to arrive until the end. This is the second Zampaglione's movie and it's the second "8" I give him for his skill to involve the watcher and take him something for reflecting about. Don't miss it!

I'm surprised some people are not liking this movie.. I think it's just great and scary as hell. Watched it with my girlfriend a couple of days back, and we still have nightmares because of that creepy villain!!!!Actually I'm not crazy for horror movies, especially those where people get tortured... they are often a little goofy and nonsense; but this one has something special, I mean it's not the same murderous movie for bloodthirsty young guys... it's more about reality, wars, and human fears. I guess fans of splatter and gory stuffs will probably be disappointed after watching this title... it's a little too classy for them. not kidding at all, it's true. I was impressed also by the score, it plays like a goblin's stuff very very cool and potent. definitely one not to give a miss.
