Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe story of Osso, Mastrosso, and Carcagnosso is based on an urban legend that is still popular in Italy. The original legend dates back to the 15th century when the brothers were exiled from Spain because they murdered their sister's rapist. The brothers landed off the coast of Favignana, near the Sicilian islands, where they created new social rules and eventually founded three major criminal organizations in Italy: the Cosa Nostra (or the Mafia), the 'Ndrangheta and the Camorra (via La Mafia Uccide Solo d'Estate).

Featured review
It's a good one. Photography and screenplay are well made, characters are believable in their choices, actors in their performances. Personally, I loved the well-aged Italian soundtrack. The movie is somehow thought provoking, with a twist in the end that I did not see coming until when the protagonist realises it too, and that's something per se.
Starting from the title itself, the movie goes around playing with genre's archetypes, landing a few scares, also managing to convey an overall sense of uneasiness.
The ending scene: it felt like a critique on our contemporary hysteria on having less and less time, our attention span is reducing, and even watching a movie becomes a chore. The viewer ends up skipping the movie entirely, fast forwarding it, picking few random scenes, ending up taking the same side of those who watched it distractedly, hated it, but spoke about it in capital letters in a comment on a social media.
It really questions the Netflix paradigm of producing movies based on "the like algorithm".
I like when an horror movie does what it's supposed to do: provoke you.
