Effective crime thriller with touches of horror., 12 December 2003
Author: copycat1025 from U.S.A.

I recently got the chance to watch this one, which is usually packaged as a crime thriller, yet is also quite effective as a horror film. I consider this film one of the two best Gariazzo films I've seen so far, the other one being "La Mano Spietata delle Legge." Alberto Lupo plays a criminal who, with a partner, attacks a van loaded with bank notes. During a shootout with the guards, his partner is killed, and Lupo tries to make it over the French border by hiding in a coffin. Unexpectedly, he ends up being trapped in an icy cold morgue. This film has some powerful moments, and really displays Lupo's acting talents. I never thought Lupo was a very good actor until I saw this film, which showed me that I had been wrong. As well, this is a wonderful debut for director Mario Gariazzo. With an almost non-existent cast, Gariazzo concentrates almost entirely on Lupo's predicament, and we feel his desperation as the tension builds to a climax. The English-language print of this film is supposed to be cut pretty deeply, but the version I saw was the uncut Italian release.
