An author in Bologna is given an electric typewriter by his wife and information on the ribbon leads him to find out about K zones, the wok of Dr Zeder and a group bringing the dead back to life. The film is strong on atmosphere with good cinematography, evocative locations and a sizzling music score by Riz Ortolani but overall doesn't make much sense. The beginning is confusing, the middle throws up unanswered questions and the ending is weak. (Indeed, what does happen at the end?) The cast are adequate but not outstanding. Given a clearer narrative it would have been more engrossing. The director Pupi Avati has made better films.
