Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Stevieboy666 Arguably Dario Argento's best film since the 1980's, here he returns to what he does best, the giallo. The film starts in 1983 before quickly moving on to 2000. This is typical Argento - stylish, fluid camera work, great musical score by Goblin, beautiful women, nice locations and lots of brutal, graphic murders. However it's certainly not faultless - the acting abilities do vary and the killer must be able teleport - but these are minor quibbles. It's no Deep Red but still very much a feast for the senses.

Jan Strydom I'm still sort of new to Argento's films but I found this film of his to be one very solid effort. The first half has this very unusual tone and atmosphere that makes you feel both uncomfortable and creeped out at the same time. The death scenes in my opinion are more tense here than in some of his older films.The acting is very good although the occasional dubbed voice causes some actors to look like their facial expressions almost don't match their voices.One outstanding feature is the cinematography. The camera constantly moves around and many of the settings are lit up just right enough to create it's atmosphere.Overall, it's a very well made and solid gaillo from Argento and is well worth the effort even for fans of the genre and not necessarily Argento.

David Vanholsbeeck When you watch a Dario Argento flick, you know what to expect. Still, being a sucker for a good slasher pic, I still give these movies a chance. You get the gore, you get ... Well, that's about it. The acting, of course, is awful. The script? Well, I wonder if there ever was one. Seems like they improvised this one over some good pot. Thrills? Not really. Even the killings are fake as hell. I know, that's what Argento stands for, but one has to wonder: why has this guy gathered such a reputation? Is it because "it's so bad it must be good"? I read someone's comment here that if you don't like this film, you know nothing about movie making. No kidding?

Tim Hayes Dario Argento returns to the form that made him famous, that of the giallo. The results are certainly decent although not quite up to the highs of his earlier works like Cat O'Nine Tails and Deep Red. As in previous films, there are red herrings galore and Argento fills the screen with his trademark camera shots and ultra violence. One scene in which a victim has their face smashed against a wall is particularly gruesome, complete with teeth falling out of the ruined mouth and face. Like many of Argento's films, the dubbing is truly horrific. I can't speak Italian so I'm assuming that the dialogue sounded much better in its native tongue than the overacted and pulpy English dub that I viewed. Max Von Sydow is great as the detective who worked on the case 17 years ago and now must return to the one that got away and try and solve it. The film is certainly well done and better than the director's last few films, but the only real problem that I had with it was it overstays its welcome. Shorn of perhaps 20-30 minutes, the film would have been much tighter and worked a bit better.
