Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Pelts and Jenifer and I'll give you, they weren't too bad - I'd forgotten about those. Do You Like Hitchcock? basically just remakes Strangers on a Train and as such is derivative and lazy. Sleepless wasn't too bad - the presence of Von Sydow certainly helps. Mother of Tears was an unadulterated mess and looks like the work of an 80's Italian hack like Bruno Mattei or Andrea Bianchi, certainly not the work of a master filmmaker, which Argento supposedly is.

I'll certainly be giving Argento's version of Dracula (I wish they'd stop calling it Dario Argento's Dracula, as if he came up with the idea ) a watch when it becomes available, but to say my expectations are low is putting it mildly.
