The Dario Argento Thread

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Let's put it this way,it's an 'interesting' take on an oft-told tale.

It's the only Dario film I haven't seen yet, I've had it for ages though.

My Neo Giallo collection arrived today, I can't believe I got it for under 6 quid. What a stunning set, I'm blown away. I've only seen The Stendhal Syndrome so this weekend is fully booked.

Are you sure this has english subs? Amazon and the back cover only mention italian...
Also, what about the color correction and cut status someone mentioned? Tha price is not bad, might consider it.

Suspiria is one of my favourite films. I love Argento's fairytales: Suspiria, Inferno (Hansel and Gretel), Phenomena (Alice through the looking glass).
Great surreal imagery and - as everyone has already mentioned - soundtrack. Gotta love Argento.
Have to see Two Evil Eyes and Terror at the Opera.
I enjoy the giallo - especially Deep Red and Tenebrae. Not too big on The Card Player and Trauma - although the scene with Brad Dourif's head is, err, hilarious.

Had my hair trimmed this morning, just noticed that I resemble a certain Italian director, must be my Sicilian genes!

Deep Red is my favorite. I just watched Giallo last night and didn't think it was as bad as people are making it out to be.

I always go between Deep Red and Tenebrae for my favourite Argento film; can never truly settle on one or the other.


I sort of agree with you on Giallo; it's not as bad as people say but at the same time it's not great. He's capable of so much better I think but to make a "not as bad as people say but at the same time it's not great" film whose title is the same as the genre he practically defined is very disappointing.
