\"In<\/a>
In the Market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Out last week in Rome, In the Market<\/strong>, directed by Lorenzo Lombardi.\u00a0 The Italians seem to be making an attempt to muscle in on the rural massacre move with Zampaglione’s Shadow <\/strong>and this, and while it’s nice to see some kind of genre cinema happening it would be nice if they took something a little more ambitious than torture porn as their inspiration.\u00a0 But, hey, people would have said the same thing during the heyday of the giallo, so maybe I’m just being cantankerous.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this was a totally self funded project, just like Hypnosis<\/strong><\/a>, which was made for a similar (low) budget.\u00a0 The plot follows three youths, David, Sarah and Nicole, who embark on a road trip across the country to go and see their favorite rock band. Unfortunately not everything goes as planned: things start to get complicated when they decide to stop at a service station for fuel and have all their possessions during a robbery. Forced to look for a place to call the police, they continue along the road, until they arrive at a market, where, tired and hungry, they decide to shelter for the night, not knowing that inside it isn’t only animal flesh that’s for sale…<\/p>\n

Reviews have been hit and miss.\u00a0 It’s picked up awards at several festivals, but mainstream critics have been less convinced.\u00a0 The cast features Ottaviano Blitch (from Shadow<\/strong>) and the special effects are by Sergio Stivaletti.\u00a0 It’s shown on a couple of dozen screens, but box office records are difficult to come by at this time of year because of the Italian holidays…<\/p>\n

Here’s the trailer:<\/p>\n
