    Like watching blood dry

    This film plodded along at a snail's pace, even *after* I resorted to watching vast chunks of it in ffwd. It's only 100 minutes long, (not 123 as declared on the label,) but there's about enough story to fill 30 of them. The rest is just padding. Distinctively shot in Argento's inimitable (interminable) style, the movie has the air of a 1970s Soviet-Bloc TV drama. So, if you like that sort of thing, go right ahead. I, however, have better things to do.

    Superior Argento

    If you are a fan of Argento and haven't yet seen this I suggest you put it on your list right now. This is about the fifth or sixth Argento film I've seen and definately ranks as one of his best alongside Terror at the Opera and The Bird with the Crystal Plumege. Suspiria is also great but I prefer his giallos to his supernatural horror movies. You won't be dsappointed if you know what you're expecting.
