ER

Emiliano Ranzani

A policeman investigating the trafficking of a new drug called Ozone is infected by the same by a mysterious individual. Thus begins his personal "sub-metropolitan odyssey" to understand what is really happening to him, an endeavor that will lead him to the creator of the drug, a monstrous being who, with his retinue of drug-addicted followers (some of whom are transformed into aggressive zombie-like creatures) has world conquest in mind. A small film shot on video by the creator of "The Dead Next Door", similarly showing hundreds of shots (magic of the steadycam) in the style of Sam Raimi but which does not contain the necessary elements to make a good low-budget film. Except for a few good ideas (more about the visual solutions) the film runs in the most total boredom due to the flatness of the plot. Everything is far too predictable. The special effects, then, apart from one or two sufficient scenes, have nothing interesting.
