Atmosphere 9 - With no music and with the protagonists often left alone, the movie surely makes your flesh creep.
Story 3 - The movie begins with witty dialogue and Stefano (Gabriele Lavia) discovering an obscure message inside the typewriter (which leads him to investigate on the K-zones, grounds in which the dead are said to come back and drag the living to their world). While this should be an exceptional thing, the plot carries on with an improbable event after the other, making the movie an insult to statistics. ***SPOILER START*** [Stefano finding out about the former owner of the typewriter, Stefano's wife Alessandra being friend of the doctor who cured this - mentally ill - owner, Stefano bumping into Spina etc...] And Stefano is so dumb! first, he doesn't leave the burial place, in spite of retrieving vital proof such as a videotape; secondly, with a dead rising in the middle of the floor, clumsily steps right to it... ***SPOILER END***
Ending 9 - ...however the third/ending beats them all! and is a nice climax&catharsis to the movie.
OVERALL 7 (mean score) - While the ways that bring Stefano to find out about the truth are absurd, the movie is enjoyable enough: it delivers some scares along with some humour... and, among so many dead - in the spirit or in the flesh - people, Alessandra delivers a lively performance (so no boredom for me)
