मैं रसातल हूँ

Carrisi is certainly one of the best writers we have around, I loved almost all of his novels, I am the abyss is certainly one of the best and this film adaptation is very faithful, perhaps less valid than the book, but still very interesting and above all denotes that Carrisi also has great talent as a director, a talent that had already been seen with his two previous films.

Also in this film there are disturbing and disturbing atmospheres, the pace is slow, but the film is never boring, the cast, although made up of little-known actors is still excellent, especially Gabriel Montesi who offers an absolutely terrifying and scary character.

Unfortunately, having already read the novel I knew all the scenes, but those who have not read the book will be able to enjoy a really cool thriller.

As the book this is a quite intricate film, whit many plot twist and flashbacks. To follow precisely the whole plot you need to be focused a hundred percent on the movie, because everything happens quick.

The acting is on a really good level (at least in Italian). The direction and screenplay are fantastic, here and there during the movie you can find some beautiful glimpses of Lago di Garda, where the story is set.

Being Carrisi both the writer of the book and the direcor it is impossible for the movie bot to be precisely coherent with the book.

I would really recommend to watch the movie and then read the book (which is a lot more detailed), if you haven't already done it!

..where somebody with no skill whatsoever can become a writer, a movie director... the only thing needed is having powerful friends

this is what kills Italian Cinema, a bunch of so called writers who cannot put up a decent idea, because they don't actually live the life as we all do.. this dude is just very good at PR ... like emptyness made real

DC is always trying to show he is some sort of smart dude, but he cannot, he is really incapable of writing anything original

Do not watch this nonsense, go and watch a D'Innocenzo brothers movie, Ivano Di Matteo movie, go for a walk instead .. Pasolini, we miss you.

With the backdrop of Lake Como, how could a film go wrong? This film found a way.

The main character is simply not believable. I did like the characters of the "crazy" lady and the 13 year old girl. They did the best they could with the script they were handed. The story should have focused more on them.

This film was an opportunity lost. It was a good story in a fascinating setting, but the main character was never convincing enough. Serial killers, generally speaking, are astute and charming to some degree. This guy is none of those things. He's an unconvincing mix of Frankenstein and Freddy Kruger.

I do not recommend this film.

No pun intended - sometimes a person who we would consider evil, may do something good. We have a moral compass, so seeing someone being evil, but also how this was ... well pushed on to him! If you are left alone, if you are left to ... let's call it struggle for yourself ... well it shapes you. It makes you to the person you grow up to be - if you survive that "fight".

There is a really gruesome scene at the beginning of the movie. And it is not visceral, it is not explicit .. but if you are a parent and you see this ... I am not a parent myself yet, I can only imagine what it feels like, being an uncle (multiple times) to watch this ... not easy to stomach to say the least.

But the movie also has violence that is graphic - you can't be too sensitive about it. Also when it comes to the "hero" of this ... but for what it's worth the movie is quite interesting and sometimes even satisfying in a weird way ... you just have to be able to go through with it ... will "good" prevail?
