This is an awesome movie. I really didn't know what to expect when I went into it, because I'd gone in blind based on the strength of "The Endless" and "Resolution". I was not expecting a love story from the two that made those other films, but they pulled it off. Benson and Moorhead not only have something to say (and something worth listening to),but they also have an incredible amount of range. I'll be sure to watch anything else that comes from this team, as I've been consistently impressed with their work. See this film, see their other films, and watch for films from them in the future!

In California, Evan is caring for his dying mom and watches her pass away. He loses his lousy job. On a whim, he goes on a trip to Italy. After meeting beautiful Louise, he decides to stick around and get a farming job. They spend a night together and he wakes up to find her gone. She is suffering from a strange transformation as they strike up a relationship.

This is an interesting take on the relationship indie. There are horror elements but they are not played for scares. Her revelation is too revealing and happens a little too early. She needs an earlier scene where she is in danger of discovery. This movie needs more tension. The relationship needs more tension. It's all very low intensity with some good low budget body transformation ideas until the second half. It does bump up the tension but I wish it happens quicker. There is one funny joke and some good atmosphere.

A different type of film, one that crosses genre boundaries. It is a romance first and a sci-fi /horror second. The target audience is perhaps those women science geeks who can watch "An Officer and a Gentleman" over and over again.

Evan (Lou Taylor Pucci) down on life, absconds to Italy where he bums around until he meets Louise (Nadia Hilker) who throws herself at him. It it isn't long before we know she is different, or sooner if you look at the DVD cover. The explanation of what she is, comes first in subtle clues and unrelated film dialogue which ties everything together, almost like an old Russian novel.

In spite of the special effects, the film moved a bit slow for my taste.
