Description: CHRISTOPHER ROTH IS A GIALLO-STYLED HORROR (BY WAY OF BELGIUM AND ITALY) INSPIRED BY ARGENTO’S FILMS AND FEATURING THE ALWAYS SOLID JOAQUIM DE ALMEIDA (who also played in Yo Puta film) AND ONE OF THE FINAL PERFORMANCES FROM THE GREAT BEN GAZZARA (BOTH OF WHOM WERE FEATURED IN THE DIRECTOR’S FIRST FEATURE, HOLY MONEY). IT’S A RIVETING TALE OF A SUCCESSFUL BUT BURNED OUT HORROR WRITER WHO LOSES HIS GRIP ON REALITY AND FINDS HIS BEST WORK COMING TO LIFE.
THE DIRECTOR, MAXIME ALEXANDRE, WAS RAISED IN ITALY AND CHRISTOPHER ROTH WORKS AS A LOVE LETTER TO THE LURID THRILLERS OF ITALY’S CINEMATIC HEYDAY. HE’S MADE A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING FILM THAT MAKES THE MOST OF ITS LOCATION, AS YOU’D EXPECT FROM THE CINEMATOGRAPHER OF HAUTE TENSION (AKA SWITCHBLADE ROMANCE), THE HILLS HAVE EYES (2006), MIRRORS, SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D, THE CRAZIES AND THE 2012 REMAKE OF MANIAC STARRING ELIJAH WOOD.
IT’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD, OR HAVE YOU DISSECTING IT DAYS AFTER YOU’VE WATCHED IT BUT, IT DOES ENERTAIN AND IF YOU MISS THE DAYS WHEN DARIO ARGENTO MADE DECENT FILMS THEN YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.
Review: This feature film tells about the organization actually existed RAF (Red Army Faction). Events unfolding in the late 60-ies – early 70-ies in Germany. In this case, the director uses as the facts and fictional situations to enhance the effect.

Yes, some scenes were supposed to be dark but the effect is lost if the viewer cannot see what is happening.
