nicola-orofino This movie was very promising in the beginning, but after an half hour the final was too obvious. An horror title which you can understand the final after such a short time and completely without any surprise (less or more), it hardly be called exciting, although there were a lot of potential. Nevertheless, the actors have played very well, especially Caroline Kessler, and I believe the soundtrack is matching: the only flaw was precisely the sequence of events. Too bad not being able to develop a storyline so interesting ... For this reason, I would not recommend watching this title, despite my vote is still positive for the idea and the performance of the cast.

HumanoidOfFlesh The main character of "Visions" wakes up in a mental hospital after a car accident.He's doesn't remember his past.He is an amnesiac,who wants to learn more about his life.With the help of his friend he finds in the archive of Dr.Leeman's some hidden files and videotapes of an unsolved crime case.The serial killer nicknamed The Spider is still on the loose.The visions of Matt are becoming more and more nightmarish.Deadly dull and suspenseless psychological thriller obviously inspired by "Saw" series.I don't see any connection with 70's and 80's Italian gialli.The editing is epileptic and the acting is pretty weak.The climax is extremely anti-climatic.Watch Austrian "Angst" if you want a proper serial killer movie.3 out of 10.

dan-2083 The description of the movie and the review it had, despite the low number of votes compelled me to watch about 2 minutes. In that two minutes I could pretty much tell that the votes were all from cast and the good review was from either the writer, director or a retard. Save your money for a Noddy DVD, the acting is bound to be better and the plot will have far more depth. I am not sure why IMDb force you to write a minimum of 10 lines, perhaps an EU directive on the minimum recommended number of words that are needed to adequately describe an insult to cinema or perhaps writing 10 lines on IMDb creates a magical force that somehow makes a bad film into a good one, wishful thinking.....

Coventry The era of illustriousness for the Italian Gialli movies is long over and gone – more than twenty years already, in fact – but ambitious Italian filmmakers occasionally still breeze in to deliver new movies with plenty of echoes to this wondrous sub genre of European horror/thriller cinema. Some fine recent examples of this include "The Unknown Woman", "Eyes of Crystal" and "The Girl by the Lake". Luigi Cecinelli's "Visions" arguably also ranks high amongst these chosen few, although the parallelism between this film and the authentic Gialli of the early 70's is much more subtle and indistinct. Giallo-obsessed freaks, like myself, will undoubtedly spot the likenesses, but to the majority of normal film-loving audiences "Visions" will probably just comes across as a convoluted but solid, suspenseful and very engaging psychological thriller. Andrea Del Monte's script is perhaps slightly over-ambitious and pseudo-intellectual for its own good, resulting into a confusing and improbable finale, but some of the basic plot-ingredients and ideas are deeply impressive. And even though director Cecinelli and writer Del Monte are relatively inexperienced, "Visions" is also a skilfully stylish, coherently structured and adequately shot accomplishment. The opening ten minutes are unquestionably the best and most memorable ones, as they cover the latest onslaught of the smart and seemingly unstoppable serial killer known as "The Spider". In an attempt to rescue several of his captured victims at once, the entire police squad as well as the hostages die an excruciatingly painful death. The traumatized FBI-profiler Dr. Leeman resigns and returns to his previous job; psychiatrist in a private clinic. A certain time later one of his patients, Matt – an amnesia patient recovering from a car accident – accidentally stumbles upon Dr. Leeman's notes and records on The Spider's case and begins to suffer from nightmarish visions that are accurately illustrating the infamous serial killer's deeds. Suspecting some kind of psychic or perhaps even physical link with The Spider, Matt digs deeper into the case, in assistance with a fellow patient, a sexy journalist and eventually even Dr. Leeman himself. "Visions" may seem predictable and fairly obvious straight from the beginning, but there's a lot more than superficially meeting the eye. It's a puzzle gradually getting more difficult to solve with each piece that falls into place and you only comprehend the complete picture when the entire puzzle is solved. Your initial guess regarding the denouement might be correct, but nonetheless there are several twist and turns throughout the film that are simply too complex to predict. I realize this all sounds extremely vague and maybe even bit misleading, but it honestly would be a shame to reveal anything more and risk spoiling a potentially surprising viewing experience. Try and think of "Visions" like some sort of odd but unexpectedly effective crossbreed of "Saw" and "The Usual Suspects". The special effects are top-class and overwhelming, even a tad bit exaggerated sometimes, and there are a handful of moments of grisly violence. Hopefully this clever and zealous Italian production receives a proper distribution, as it deserves a wide audience.
