This is one of the Argento films I have never seen so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it. Glad to hear it's worth seeing!

I'm sure you'll be very impressed Sarah.
A bit OTT at points,but it adds to the film's non-stop pace!

Same. It's just never really appealed to me apart from the famous eye scene. I've heard good things about it and this release is really tempting. I might just have to give in and see it.

It's a bit bloated and sadly suffers form a rare thing until later Argento films...a genuienly bad English dub at times And seeing as only one (I think) support character speaks English (unlike almost all his other films) an Italian track would be preferable.

But otherwise I like it a lot.
Sme great set-pieces and music, good gore, lost of grand flair.
And I for one like the very end also...some don't.

Although it is perhaps the weakest ending as far as spectacle goes in an Argento film and a plot device that leads up to it stretches credibility.

I think I'm used to bad dubs on foreign films so that's not too big a deal.

As far as Argento films go, it can't be as bad as Mother of Tears.

Yeah...But Argento films have always had some very good dubs I think. Mind you it's much better than the (Sydow aside) CHRIST awful English dub on "Sleepless" which almost killed the film.

And no no...This is a whole different era of Argento and a whole different class.
Be not afeared on that count. This is thankfully no "Mother".

See the dub on Sleepless didn't bother me. I still got right into the movie.

That's good to know. God I couldn't believe the shit I was watching on screen was coming from Argento. What a waste of time that was.

Opera really delivers in terms of brilliant technical set pieces - it's the last of his big efforts as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah I remember seeing a bit of the scene where the camera spirals down with the feather. What a great piece of camera work that was. It was just so captivating.
