It's a fun little film, quite out of Argento's comfort zone but he delt with it well. Yes, I prefer it to Sleepless, Trauma, and Stendhal Syndrome. And it's miles better than Giallo and Dracula.

The tap dancing morgue attendant makes me seriously cringe in that film. WTF!

And i don't have much love for any of Argento's work post Opera. Sleepless had it's moments and a great score, but over all was pretty incompetent. The killer dwarf theme was rather embarrassing as well.

Phantom and Do You Like Hitchcock are two of my least favourites as well.
