An enjoyable film with a good mystery and a great twist. However, it's not what I would call horror - more mystery/thriller than anything else. So, a little disappointing in that regard.
Very good classic Argento. Good twist at the end.
Dario Argento's giallo movies are definitely better than Fulci's films. You can tell it had a budget which paid off in some of the effects. It was slow and very noire style. For whatever reason I started hating the main character more and more as the movie went on, and I think I was supposed to. All in all, I wasn't really sure what happened at the end but it was a good movie to tidy the house to.
Love the 80s music vibe .
Great gory giallo Argento classic
