Utterly unhinged and imbecilic, but at least the music and gore are kinda fun and it has a heroic pooch… Has none of the cinematic creativity or seductive style of Argento’s best, it’s just passably put-together in a manner which any old indie director could manage. The story is stupendously silly, the writing ranging from whimsical to straight-up insanity, and it all ends on an unsatisfying note. Feels like a ‘70’s relic moved forward in time, stuffed with tropes - a very strange but somewhat enjoyable bit of nonsensical schlock.
Fun, entertaining movie. Weak soundtrack. Beautiful actress. All in all, worth a watch.
Decent italian horror. good fun. weak soundtrack. Beautiful actress. Ending could have been better. a
Definitely Argento alright! It was pretty good overall! I did get a bit of anxiety around when she first went blind lol. I put myself in her shoes too much.
Definitely not one of Argento's better films. The conclusion seemed like it was improvised.
