Directed by Ricardo Paoletti. Written by Carlo Longo and Manuela Cacciamani. Starring Joy Tanner, Daisy Keeping and David Brandon.
Plot: a young woman travels to Italy to visit her father, but it is a grave mistake.
Jenny (Keeping) travels to Italy where her father is studying an ancient civilization and a lake. There, she meets some children, but no one is who they seem. Almost everyone gives off a creepy vibe and Jenny soon finds her own soul is at risk.
This is a terrible film about a real lake. To start with, the movie makes no sense. It’s obvious from the jump that her dad is hiding something, but you don’t know why. The motive is horrible. It’s not scary. We almost don’t even want to call it a horror movie because it’s more of a creepy mystery.
To be honest, the acting was the best part, but then the plot is so convaluted and gives us nothing. For instance, what was the Medusa thing in the lake and why was it helpful? And why was her brother able to affect the lake life that? It made no sense. Or at least not any sense that they explained. We can’t recommend.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
