At the End of the Day, by Cosimo Alemà

Another new Italian horror film, this time directed by Cosimo Alemà, a famous director of music videos and commercials.  There have been trailers for this self-financed effort floating around on the web for a while now, but it finally opened in about 60 cinemas (not a bad showing), coming in a respectable 7th place in the box office and making a decent return.  The plot apparently, revolves around:

… a group of friends spending some time in the woods, playing paintball and engaging in unexpected romances. Little they knew that they were not alone: mysterious killings happens, and a constant menace is upon them. What started out as a innocent war-game ends up turning into a deadly man-hunt.

So, a bit like an Italian version of the Spanish film Paintball (or Severance, or Wilderness, or Southern Comfort if you want to go way back).  The review on ComingSoon describes it more as being like a tense action thriller than a gore filled horror movie and describes the director as being technically capable and with a good eye, but complains that the script is weak and sometimes predictable.
