HEADLINES
...aw...part of the allure of Giallo films is their grainy shitiness and the poor dubbing.
Susperia is still one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. I snuck into it when I was a kid and it was released to the theatres and I'll never be the same.
It breaks my heart to say that was the last good movie Argento ever made. His subsequent films show flashes of his brilliance, but then fall apart with bad acting, ridiculous scripts and questionable directing.
Part of the charm of Italian horror films are their focus on the passion of telling the story, rather than the logic of telling a story.
Argento has stretched that concept so far, that it has snapped.
Although Giallo has a couple of the signature Argento squirm inducing moments, it is not good.
Adrian Brody is laughable.
Maybe Argento should try his hand at producing again, as he did with Lamberto Bava and Michele Soavi.
