Review: Although it looks like a classical giallo (Italian "thriller" from the 70-80's) from Dario Argento, I wouldn't call it his best. I don't find it as good as Deep Red or Suspiria, my two favorites. I liked the beautiful colors in the movie, typical red and blue shades of the giallo genre, very well rendered in this Blu-ray edition. The horror scenes are nicely done at the beginning of the movie, but less and less after the first half. The music is OK but not as good as the one the band Goblin did for the 2 previously cited movies. I am glad to have seen the movie, but it doesn't not leave a strong impression on me.
