It strikes me as more film noir than horror and is a fascinating idea and story let down only by occasional bouts of dodgy acting (but surely that is the tale of Argento's whole career?).
Perhaps it is because it isn't especially like his other films in mood or theme that it isn't rated higher by most? It has certainly won me over. |
Great film, but that BU disk has to be the worst print i've seen on blu so far.
