Synopsis, Review and Trailer
- USA
The life of the spouses Campbell is upset by a problem nineteen year old son Matt's health. Unfortunately it is suffering from a severe form of cancer that forced him to undergo several sessions of chemotherapy. All this is complicated by the excessive distance of the hospital, forcing Matt and his mother Sara, a long and arduous journey to get there. To make it more feasible, Sara finds no other solution than trying to rent a house in Connecticut, as close as possible to the clinic. Does not have many demands and not too much money to spend. Would any good thing, even a tiny apartment. But with his immense surprise, is a large Victorian house at rock bottom prices. Is not there to be too many questions whether such a deal could hide or not some catch, la cosa importante è che l'intera famiglia si possa trasferire, hanno tutti bisogno di quel minimo di tranquillità che non li faccia precipitare totalmente nel caos.
La situazione, invece, è destinata a farsi molto più complicata del previsto.
Tra le molte stanze della nuova abitazione, sembra celarsi un mistero che arriva prepotente a sconvolgere quel flebile equilibrio che tutti cercano a fatica di riconquistare.
All'inizio capita solo a Matt di percepire fugaci presenze, ombre, flashback di un passato che non è il suo. Sono più che semplici stranezze, tuttavia, deve pur esserci una spiegazione logica! Possono essere i postumi delle pesanti cure a cui il ragazzo si sta sottoponendo, o anche i signs of the disease progresses relentlessly, giving it mild mental health problems. These findings come
rational members of his family, but what happens next borders on the impossible too.
There is more than just a mystery within the walls, trapped in truth a cryptic past, Matt trovanonell'inquieto the right channel to try to prove, even if slowly, a bit 'against their will all become witnesses to events that border on supernatural.
Matt arrival, had chosen the room larger and apparently more peaceful a basement surrounded by massive walls and a long door with large glass now obscured by time.
Non aveva mai osato aprire quel criptico accesso, tirare forte la maniglia ormai incastrata per esplorare quel che c'era dall'altra parte, non fino a quando gli incubi lo avevano più volte destato, riportandolo a una realtà non meno irrazionale dei sogni.
Foto, tante foto, scattate dagli antichi abitanti della casa, istantanee che ritraggono persone diverse, inermi. Attrezzi da lavoro, di un lavoro che qualcuno deve pur fare, ma non in quel modo. Verità ormai incastonate nel tempo, scoprirle forse non è impossibile. E' quel che la famiglia Campbell cercherà di fare, non senza stupore, coraggio, incredulità e paura.
- Porte a vetri, antiche trasparenze oscurate dal tempo che non allow access to the gaze and hidden potential dangers disquieting. A fleeting presence left, or just a grim reality now dusty from time. The camera lingers on these very special, especially in the first part of the film, turning a veil of mystery on scene most of the time shown in shadow.
to the burden we think the soundtrack, too full of squeals, noises surprisingly, most soft background music alternating with sudden high-sounding tones.
The plot, however, while maintaining the dramatic background given by the touching human story of the young Matt, never fails to engage fully, to move from a certain predictability, which can be disappointing, especially if the viewer has already documented the dark story. On the final then, they exaggerate too much with special effects and an epilogue that is hard to associate a possible reality.
In any case, newcomer Peter Cornwell has played well his trump card, dusting off a disturbing true story of America is reliable, has succeeded in bringing attention to himself and his first job as a director, on the contrary, he threatened to go quietly.
Not a bad approach to this piece of cinema, with its idea has managed to raise expectation among fans of the genre, for the real event in America, totally unknown, at least in our country.
on the strange case I'd rather not go into too much not to reveal sides of the main film, only that the true spouses Snedekers (not Campbell ), also had a child cancer patient in need of heavy-duty care and for this they moved in 1986 from New York to an area of \u200b\u200bConnecticut near the hospital. Just
that house, they say, was then been the scene of strange supernatural events , earned largely on the sick boy.
Then they found the place a lot of photos, evidence of a past in which some of the rooms on the ground floor were used to display the ancient owner of the place of embalming and coffins. A story
creepy, no doubt about it, I invite you to read up on other details of the story, but only after seeing the film. Also because the director and writers, in their film adaptation played a little 'fantasy, the novel aspects, adding steps to make the most striking effect of the whole. A bit 'too much for me, especially in the final. But the messenger is always
a thrilling film , but only to bind to these mysterious events narrated by the family Snedekers, which for some time now no longer lives in that house. The current occupant, fortunately, have never had their problems.
The truth is still difficult to decipher, perhaps. Council
the movie who is not very emotional and lovers of the thriller genre with shades of horror.
- Duration: ninety-two minutes.
