I am watching it as I type...well it is paused.
I FORGOT HOW ****ING GREAT IT REALLY IS!
No joke - this watches like an unofficial follow up to 'Inferno' by Argento, with strong (funnily enough) glimpses of 'Suspiria' too. Given how RUBBISH and too late in the making the official third film, Mother of Tears, is - I'll take this anyday.
Obvious Argento "homages" aside, and let's face it - technically any giallo sort of owes something to Argento -this film stands alone in it's own right with wonderful cinematography, a wonderful odd atmosphere and yes...some ridiculous animated spiders in parts.
It is AMAZING and watching a poor quality (though better than nothing) transcribe from VHS just won't do. Shameless - if you've released 'Le Orme / Footprints', which took guts, release this! It is far less obscure and surely a worldwide chunk of people would buy a Region 0 release as this is still FOR SOME STUPID REASON a DVD virgin!
Sort it out!
