Synopsis: After the death of his mother, Evan (Pucci) escapes the daily life by going to Italy where he meets an intriguing woman (Hilker) and settles down in the village where she lives.
Review: The movie was introduced at the Munich Fantasy Filmfest 2015 as "finally something new". It is indeed the story of a fantasy character told in an unusual way but after the projection I didn't know what to think of it, until I came to the conclusion that it is a Horror movie for women, or if you prefer a Horror movie you can go watch with your girl, or yet another vision: a Horror movie your girl can trick you into watching. In fact the horror is very rare and not scary, instead there is a very large portion of Romance between the atypical woman (a scientist) and a charming guy that could be the Prince Charming: he is sensitive and just lost his mother, he refuses to have sex with the girl when he first meets her and prefers to wait and date her later... This approach is probably a good thing as the Genre is known to attract a vast majority of males, but I felt cheated and in spite of the amazingly beautiful Italian landscapes, I failed to enjoy the adventures of this young couple and its conclusion. I am nevertheless looking forward to watch Resolution, the previous realization by the same two directors that I missed at the Fantasy Filmfest last year, because they know how to tell an original story.
