Cthulhu meets Take the right one in meets The (wo)man from Earth aka Italian werewolf in Naples born in Pompeii and waiting for the American white savior bum to realize the true love, as none of the men from the ages and lands compare to that Californian sincerity and easy-talking charm of young and dreamy screenwriter's alter ego. The most horrifying thing about the movie is that it is a realistic take on dating Italian women, who if impregnated need to be catered for the rest of your life (even if she dies) lest they turn into a monster - which her body, not mind, decides based on oxytocin and other suspicious science. Apparently, eating hostile man's te sticles and innocent rabbits makes for a nice source of stem cells. A bit naive and plot-hole filled mishmash somewhat saved by nice on the location shooting, slow art-house style spending time on atmosphere and not dwelling too much into junk stem-cell pseudo-scientific "explanation" that is also thrown into the pot, with some hints of redeeming humor makes overall an OK watching experience.
