Visions

Luigi Cecinelli’s Visions has just been released in Italy. It’s an ambitious sounding Italian thriller, and it’s opened on a reasonable 80 screens (this makes it a middle range release… less high profiles than Imago mortis, but not too obscure). According to Cineuropa, the plot goes something like this:

A Police SWAT troop is entering an abandoned factory where a sadistic serial killer named “The Spider” detained his victims. The entire squad is massacred and for Doctor leemen, psychiatrist and profiler, is the last unbearable defeat. So, he decide to leave the case and return to his ancient work in a Psychiatric clinic for teenagers. Here he treats Matthew, a sensible and introvert boy that awaked from a coma, who begins to have visions about the crimes of “The Spider”. Matt and his friend Nick contact Hope, a young journalist that investigate about Spider’s murders. Matching Hope’s knowledges and Matthew’s visions, they have the elements to resolve the case. Studying Matthew’s visions and nightmares, they follow the killer’s death’s spiral from the beginning to the unavoidable face to face that hides a terrible secret…

Curiously, it features a lot of English speaking actors – Caroline Kessler, Henry Garrett, Matthew T Reynolds – some of whom have popped up ina few Italian productions. Reviews seem to be pretty reasonable… Hopefully this will be coming to DVD soon.
