I’m a huge fan of foreign horror and when I get a chance to spotlight stuff from around the world, I love bringing it to your attention. I recently ran across this offering from Italy called Midway Between Life and Death, it’s the first chapter in the Midway Saga and it hits Italian theaters on April 11th, 2013. The film is gaining distribution outside of Italy later this year.
Midway Between Life and Death is directed by John Real (Native) and written by Adriana Marzagalli. It stars Elisabetta Pellini, Salvatore Lazzaro, Elaine Bonsangue, Matteo Tosi, Riccardo Flammini, Antonella Salvucci, Lara Brucci, and Tania Bambaci.
Plot Synopsis
Sara and Alex are getting through hard times: they lost the son they were expecting to miscarriage and since that day their life changed. Just When she least expected it, Sara finds out she’s pregnant but decides to wait until the third month before telling Alex not wishing to give him false hopes. Alex, exhausted from work hardships, decides to organize a weekend in the woods among a group of friends. Sara Agrees to take part in it, so to not disappoint him, while keeping the pregnancy yet unannounced. But between unsettling presences and EVP phenomena they will soon realize that this place is not as peaceful as thought to be: something “half way” between our world and the afterlife will make their weekend a living hell …
The film looks to be at least in some part found footage based on the teaser trailer which is in Italian, but you’ll get the idea, you can watch it here,
