Today's film is a horror film.

No, that isn't right. It is more of a romance. Or a gothic romance. Or a thoughtful examination of relationships and love.

On the other hand it could be just good entertainment that manages to seduce and reduce almost totally the desire to examine or question. The willing suspension of disbelief.

That is quite a trick when it happens and in this little virtually unknown straight to DVD film, it all happens.

But I can see why it could not make it on a main screen.

Too bad.

Spring (2015)

Evan goes to Italy for an extended get away from a rough US life. Mom and Dad died, other things. He is footloose.

He ends up working his way in Italy at an orchard. He meets an interesting woman. They spend time together.

She is a bit odd.

I suppose it is not a spoiler to say that she is a zombie (a revived dead person); a quite beautiful one.

It helps that Lou Taylor Pucci who plays the man/boy is totally into this. An innocent abroad. With no life behind him or ahead. A sort of living dead person. But very cute and sexy. A catch for any woman, undead or not.

I loved this movie. It is a 5 out of Netflix5 for me. I will want to see it again.
