The premise
A troubled young man falls for an American military auxiliary in postwar Italy. A year later, he relocates to the American Midwest to write his first novel, next to her elderly mother's house—separated by a grim garden.
Horror Vault's take
A young Italian man's romantic infatuation draws him across the ocean to the American Midwest, where he settles beside the decaying home of his lover's elderly mother. What begins as a writer's retreat quickly curdles as the grim garden separating the two properties takes on a life of its own. Steeped in gothic unease, the film mines the silence between neighbours and the shadows of postwar longing for something far more sinister.
