Early Argento. Entertaining with some fun moments throughout and a very visually end scene. Not great, but worth a watch.

A great setup that doesn't develop into a great story. Still, Argento's directing saves the movie. Overrated, my ass.

A thriller with some iconic scenes and even a few laughs thanks to Bud Spencer and the homosexual investigator. The script is always the weak point of Dario Argento's films, and this film is no exception. The biggest flaw is probably not giving me other probable killers throughout the movie (of whom should I suspect? [spoiler]Of the keyboardist of the band, with whom the protagonist had a bickering the first 3 minutes of the film? Of the writer friend who has absolutely no motive? Of the lame guy who orders porn magazines by mail and who doesn't have a single line of dialogue?? [/spoiler] There were simply no other options other than the most obvious and certain, [spoiler] namely the protagonist's wife who decides to leave just when the old stalker is killed for real, and therefore cannot carry out the crimes in the killer's place.[/spoiler] A little too obvious. I think Argento is an extremely overrated director.

Intrigante, non ai livelli de L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo o Opera, ma con una trama sorprendente e dei colpi di scena per niente scontati.

Four Flies is the weirdest one from the Animal Trilogy. Totally different framing and editing gives this one a bit of an experimental feeling to it. The whole thing also has a disjointed feel to it because of the jarring cuts, but it works nonetheless. There are also some non-giallo elements thrown More

This could have worked better for me had Dario Argento not cast the pretty hapless Michael Brandon in the lead. He is "Roberto", a drummer in a mediocre rock band who gets it into his head that he is being followed! One night, he lies in wait for and apprehends this man in a derelict opera house - b More
