Sleepless. 2001.

Max Von Sydow is the police detective hunting down a killer, 17 years later, now retired the killings start again. He teams with a amateur sleuth Stefano Dionisi who Max had promised to find the killer back in the day. The city of Turin is the setting for this movie and shows us why Dario is the master of the modern day Giallo genre, The creepy atmosphere right from the start with a bloodied body, Max showing empathy towards the young boy and then thrown back in to the deep end. Then it becomes a good game of cat and mouse with twist and turns mixed with Argento's flare for the gruesome killings that never disappoint. Been trying to find a decent release and managed it and certainly not disappointed.
