Suspiria (3 Disc Limited Edition)

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Definitely where an Argento newbie should start!

+ great movie
+ What Color Lipstick Does Your Pig Wear? Argento's wears Blue and Red.

Suspiria has a very ominous beginning, and great musical score that is not only slightly scary, and used throughout as foreshadowing, but also appropriate for the plot and main character: Suzie, a ballerina traveling from NY to Germany for a dancing scholarship. Upon arrival to her new academy she ...
  
  











  



  
Phenomena
Fiore Argento, Fausta Avelli

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

ONE OF THE BEST

+ Phenomenal

Dario Argento is famous for his hitchcockian tributes, such as; Deep Red, Tenebrae, and Suspiria, but with Phenomena he changes his formula into something quite daring. When you watch an Argento film you can expect two things, creative deaths and a killer you never expected. With this film however ...
  
  











  



  
The Stendhal Syndrome
Asia Argento, Thomas Kretschmann

TROMA ENTERTAINMENT INC., 1999

Repulsion and Then Some

+ unpleasant, but a pleasant suprise

Fete of Death "The Stendhal Syndrome" is a dark, brilliant, unnerving, and beautiful excursion into the mind of a policewoman who is brutally assaulted. Clearly, this is one of Dario Argento's masterworks, aided by a haunting score by the talented Ennio Morricone. Asia Argento, who plays the ...
  
  











  



  
Trauma
Christopher Rydell, Asia Argento

Lions Gate/Worldvision, 1995

Argento's best post-1987 work...

+ Bellissimo.

I'm a huge Dario Argento fan, but like most of his fans, have been very disappointed by his post-1987 work, which ranges from mediocre to abysmal. This film, finally available in its uncut form at 106 minutes (most VHS version ran around 86 minutes) and widescreen, is a lot better than almost all ...
  
  











  



  
Sleepless
Max von Sydow, Stefano Dionisi

Artisan, 2001

Heeeeere's Argento!

+ The Nursery Rhyme Killer Needs To Grow Up!
+ Dario does Dario

I really couldn't tell you why I have yet to watch every film in Dario Argento's filmography. A few years ago it was easy to claim ignorance of many of this Italian director's important works because it was often so difficult to find any of them anywhere, let alone in an uncut form. Fortunately, ...
  
  











  



  
Inferno
Irene Miracle, Alida Valli

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000

Now playing, in hell's labouratory

+ The stuff of nightmares.
+ Beautifully shot but poorly scripted
+ "Inferno" Is A Roller Coaster Ride Through Hell - The Nightmarish Sequel To "Suspiria"
  
  











  



  
Demons/Demons 2
Fiore Argento, Guido Baldi

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

The Dead can Dance!

The Cat o' Nine Tails
James Franciscus, Karl Malden

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Flawless and Fantastic

+ GOT MILK....??
+ A Great Giallo !

This movie is a true classic, and for the price...it can't be beat. If you have ever liked a Dario Argento film, then get this immediately. If you're wanting to enter the world of Argento's films, this along with Suspiria is a great way to start. Don't pass this film up, it will surprise you for ...
  
  











  



  
Dario Argento's Phantom of the Opera
Julian Sands, Asia Argento

Allumination, 1999

Tragically Beautiful

+ These people are nuts.

Now I might not be the typical Phantom phanatic, but I thought this was the second best Phantom of the Opera movie I've ever seen (the first is the version with Robert Englund). Yes, better than the 2004 musical, I never really liked that version. I know the Phantom in this movie does not wear a ...
