⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fascinating flick from Pupi Avati, whose The House with Laughing Windows remains one of the finest genre flicks from Italy. A writer is gifted a secondhand electric typewriter by his lovely wife as an anniversary gift. When he goes in to repair the ribbon, he discovers a strange text already written on there. The writer constructs together an interesting story about a scientist, Paolo Zeder, who was experimenting with something called K-Zones. Apparently there are parts of the world where the earth has some curious properties and the rules of death no longer apply to anything buried there. This inspires the writer for his next story and he begins researching one such area. Murders follow as a top secret team of scientists are also experimenting with Zeder’s theories and there’s a vast conspiracy involving a shocking amount of people. Soon the writer is running around attempting to unravel the mystery and protect him and his wife from being shut up for good. A surprisingly (for the region and time, not for the filmmaker) mature take on the ever-popular zombie cinema which gained an incredibly splatterific reputation from the Italians. Atmospheric and consistently interesting, Zeder is a gem.
