Hate2O (2006)

A group of girls, for unknown reasons, head to a remote area for a water fast. They have no electricity, no video games, no music, no food, nothing but water. They each have secrets they are trying to forget and hope this is the answer. Unknown to them, their water source is heavily polluted and exposure to it is making them act erratic... to the point of no return.Aside from the fact that I'm never a fan of films that give pollution a bad rep, this movie, which I watched in Italian with English subtitles, was undoubtedly boring. The idea certainly was creative and interesting, but this movie is really lacking. I don't recommend watching it but the concept itself had potential.

I've been a fan of Italian horror and western flicks, mainly giallo and other old genre films of the 60's, the 70's and the beginning of the 80's.This movie just proves to me that the contemporary Italian cinema is merely a shadow of its glorius past. In the old days movie makers had ambition and vision and could accomplish appealing internationally released films with limited budgets. Now everything's changed. I feel sorry to say that the film looks like that it was made with a budget of about 50 000 euro at least, but never 1 million. I wonder how they managed to spend all that money as it really looks that cheap.The movie doesn't engage, it doesn't have good actors and it just doesn't work. Where's the movie magic? It just looks like sequences composed of video clips with same boring music. I don't like the accents that some characters have and none of them really are that interesting.Digital era has made filmmaking so much easier, so that films are made even without a good script and storyline and the results are quite obvious. Just skip this one. It isn't horror.

I watched this movie on DVD since it was not released to cinema but directly on DVD supports as commercial choice made by the director Infanscelli. Infascelli gets the right mood filming this story using only actresses. They go on a little island to perform the water cure, some sort of extreme diet using only water, i mean drinking only water, staying together, trying maybe to open their minds, expanding their knowledge into nature and other sorts of things. I liked this story until i recognized something, the dead twin, absorbed by the other that is the one alive, a concept used in many other novels even by Stephen King in one of its most famous book. Once you understand this, all magic seems to disappear but still remains a good exercise in style and in music as well.As good as the premises are and the end of magic comes, you see the main character in front of a mirror discovering her dead twin's rest, a tooth in her upper arm, she then understands other things becoming living revenge against all those who tried to fool her, despise her and blame her.Good movie but not excellent, i feel like there was so much left unexplored... six out of ten!

Well what can I say? I can accept that not everyones taste in movies is the same. But i'll eat my own DVD player if anyone could be so utterly brain damaged to like this pile of garbage. A bunch of girls go to an island on a lake to do a "Water Fast". Yup, they just drink water for a few days. Supposed to clean the body and spirit. Well watching an hour and a half of some ugly girls drinking water,is not my idea of entertainment. I waited and waited for something to happen, as this was categorised as a horror move. Nope it's a horrible movie not a horror move. The highlight's..One of the girls goes into a bathroom and makes a small cut on her shoulder. One of the girls gets a stone thrown at her head. For god's sake, is this the limit of the production teams imagination?. Give up trying to make movies boys, and go back to trying to scare little kids with a matchbox and a plastic spider. Don't waste any money or time on this insult to movie making. I turned it off 10 mins before the end..Maybe 1 hour and 20 mins too late. Rubbish.
