Safrom

Starts really well with two good actors (Valerio in particular) that hold the attention for the first 30 minutes or so and combined with some some good photography and lots of old 70's style camera shots reminiscent of Hammer House Of Horror but then when the special effects kick in that is when it all goes downhill........sadly.

Then we have the supposedly Safrom research laboratory which is inexplicably set inside an abandoned old crumbling warehouse in the middle of an abandoned industrial estate and of course we never get to see the actual laboratory as the $1000 budget was obviously gone by then.

It then descends into ultra low budget effects and some poor acting from the extras, in comes the heavy metal Italian soundtrack followed by some Indi europop, throw in a minute of computer generated graphics done on a ZX Spectrum in the last 5 minutes and just goes down the butthole from there on in and ends inexplicably with no ending - presumably the budget had run out completely at that point and they needed an extra 50 p in the meter - Shame as it started so well but I always review movies based on budget, acting , story etc so it gets a fair 3 out of 10 hatchets on my horror scale so less than average Italo-horror fair - Dawn of The Dead or Zombie Flesh Eaters it is not as it only registers one on my scare-omometer!
