The Weird World of Andrea Ricca

Italian director, Andrea Ricca, makes the types of movies I like.  Short, straight to the action and with an array of monsters.  I watched recently watched four of them in a row.  "Alien Monster", "The Giant Scorpion" and "The Spirit Board" were all viewed on Amazon and all three featured the acting talent of Ilaria Lamberti.  Most of Ricca's films seem to be dialogue free, so there is no language barrier to worry about.  Lamberti has no problem expressing emotion through facial expression and her characters have plenty of action to play out.  



The fourth film I watched, "Aliens Night", is available in YouTube with ad support, so I'll share that with you here.  As you'll see, it's light on story, much like my own "A Night Alone" and Ricca's other films.  Once again a woman is suddenly besieged by monsters.  This time from an alien invasion.  And once again she must fight her way through on her own.  Here is the movie below.


So, if you've got an itch to skip the dialogue and go straight to the monster action, seek out the work of Andrea Ricca on YouTube or Amazon.  The graphics are definitely low budget and there's no dialogue to create complex backstories, but Ricca does give us glimpses into the characters' lives through visual storytelling.  If nothing else you'll have an action packed few minutes.
