I honestly don't know what happened here. An American couple moved to a small Italian village. The husband's new boss was creepy & said the town is run by the mafia but that he didn't have to worry about that. That was about all the build-up there was to the wife definitely having to worry about it! This gang-stalking 'mafia' were the scariest people I've ever seen, but like I said, there was no build-up.
The only tension was the stark, but not even dark, atmosphere. Which was kinda cool as I never had any idea what to expect.
But it wasn't just music-less documentary-like shocks either. It was scary in an amateur but almost documentary believable way. It was like a recreation of a nightmare, as it made no sense, just kinda all happened with insufficient context. Still I found it bizarre, which I love. And scary in a demonic-like way, though it had no demons.
There was no gore & the torture wasn't too gratuitous. Ultimately, there was a paranormal element, but absolutely no sense could be made of it IMO. I experienced it as a brilliant movie about gang stalking. That's exactly what it feels like to have relentless unexplained sinister stuff happening to you all the time, that is so weird that you can't even explain the non-sense to anyone.
It really wasn't even that original except in the way the parts were put together with no sense. But once the non-stop weirdness got going, I couldn't take my eyes off the scary strangeness. I found it refreshing rather than disjointed or poorly done.
