One of the best misdirection
Pietro Marone starring in The space on the Earth (2023)
stories inspired by H.G.Wells's 'The War of the Worlds'.
A true little gem of the sci-fi genre. Wonderful twist in the plot, taking anyone who watches it by surprise at the end. Massimo Bulgarelli successfully recreated the Italian 60s era, using a wide range of props and tools: a lamp radio, costumes, a starry night and sound.
Talented Pietro Marone performs alone on screen throughout the entire film, but the radio voices make it a crowd. The story takes all the usual turns right until the moment of the unexpected twist. We are not going to spoil it for anyone, so this will be left out of this article.
