Review of H2Odio

H2Odio (2006 Video)
1/10
Looks like a film school project to me. It's not much of a movie.

I've been a fan of Italian horror and western flicks, mainly giallo and other old genre films of the 60's, the 70's and the beginning of the 80's.

This movie just proves to me that the contemporary Italian cinema is merely a shadow of its glorius past. In the old days movie makers had ambition and vision and could accomplish appealing internationally released films with limited budgets. Now everything's changed. I feel sorry to say that the film looks like that it was made with a budget of about 50 000 euro at least, but never 1 million. I wonder how they managed to spend all that money as it really looks that cheap.

The movie doesn't engage, it doesn't have good actors and it just doesn't work. Where's the movie magic? It just looks like sequences composed of video clips with same boring music. I don't like the accents that some characters have and none of them really are that interesting.

Digital era has made filmmaking so much easier, so that films are made even without a good script and storyline and the results are quite obvious. Just skip this one. It isn't horror.
