Trying to explain an Argento film, is like waiting for your better half when she's trying on clothes, without sighing loudly. Not easily done... Argento's work is often both disturbing and beautiful at the same time. Deep Red is a perfect example of this. The very intricate use of camera movement, zoom, and framing. The use of mirrors and lighting. The often insane music choices. Everything has a distinct purpose, and I love it!!! Deep Red should be on everyone's watchlist. Especially the original Italian cut. More story, more Argento goodness.

The music, atmospheres, pacing, long and close shots... it all adds to a perfect slow mystery horror. A good Argento movie. The exellent imaginative directing and very direct editing add to the impact. I think the characters and plot were OK. It wasn't very complex, but they were mystified enough to not be boring and do the job.

A true masterwork for Argento. The colors, the cinematography, the music all work on perfect harmony. With some of of the more realistic and human characters I've seen painted in horror. This is one of my favorites of his.

Argento's signature is very evident, many elements are similar to the later Suspiria (or even to Psycho). Suspiria works well because it is based on a very simple plot idea, this is a very engaging thriller, but not smooth in some passages which seem to suffer the sign of time. For instance, the musics are excellent, especially the main theme, but they seem sometimes misused. Or the plot where sometimes the character behave in illogical ways (especially the element that brings the killer identity comes almost from nowhere), and do not act always at their best.

This is so far my first of many giallo films that I intend to watch, and I must say, I very much wanted to love this movie. The cinematography and lighting were absolutely fantastic. However, the musical score was not it. There were 3 different songs that came back in various scenes, and all of them More

This kinda does that Tarantino thing of elevating trashy schlock with arthouse sensibilities. It's pulpy and silly, the performances are exaggerated and big, yet there's genuine sophistication to be found in its writing and directing. I had a hard time grasping its tone, mostly because the palette i More

Parts of this were pretty slow but the mystery elements were good and I liked the leads even though their romance was really forced and unnecessary (I know those scenes were removed in the Export Version, along with some of the gore). Dario Argento's visuals were on display once more with some great More

Ocular Bonanza.

When a psychic is murdered after picking up the thoughts of a psychotic killer, Marcus Day is the only witness to the crime and sets about trying to figure out who is responsible. But he then finds that the killer is shadowing him and targeting anyone who files in to help his inve More
