Nothing Underneath (1985)
Feb 6, 2024Giallo Film
A superior example of the giallo film. Not quite up with the works of Dario Argento, this still has considerable stylishness, along with a plot that borrows from Eyes of Laura Mars
Franco Ferrini
Demons (1985)
Aug 29, 2001Possessed Undead Take Over a Cinema
Italian horror directed by Lamberto Bava and produced by Dario Argento, an Evil Dead-inspired work about the possessed dead taking over a cinema, all conducted with a ferocious enthusiasm
Phenomena (1985)
Sep 3, 1999Giallo Thriller/Insect Telepathy
Another of Dario Argento's giallo thrillers filled with all his trademark artily extravagant deaths. At the centre of the film is a teenage Jennifer Connelly who can psychically communicate with insects
Opera (1987)
May 9, 2000Giallo Psycho-Thriller
This may well be the finest of Dario Argento's giallo thrillers. Set around the production of an opera, this offers a series of murder set-pieces staged with an artistry that is as extraordinary as their sadism
The Church (1989)
Sep 20, 2013Possessed Dead Overtake a Church
Originally intended as a Demons sequel, director Michele Soavi decided to head in more arty directions. Imagine a Demons sequel mounted with the artistic ambitions of producer Dario Argento's Three Mothers films
Two Evil Eyes (1990)
Feb 15, 2001Edgar Allan Poe Anthology
George Romero and Dario Argento collaborate on an anthology, each adapting an Edgar Allan Poe tale. Either director leaves you with high expectations but the results are very mixed
The Stendhal Syndrome (1996)
Sep 18, 2000Giallo Psycho-Thriller
One of the less effective films in the oeuvre of Dario Argento. Another giallo thriller, this has the same flourishes of style in sporadic moments but the plot is even more confusing than usual
Sleepless (2001)
Nov 8, 2004Giallo Psycho-Thriller
One of the more routine of Dario Argento's giallo psycho-thrillers. The artily stylistic set-pieces are disappointingly average and even the plot relatively straightforward
The Card Player (2004)
Jan 27, 2006Giallo Psycho-Thriller
A disappointingly tame giallo thriller from Dario Argento about a poker-playing serial killer. Disappointingly, Argento has cut back on all his customary extravagantly arty and sadistic murder set-pieces
Black Glasses (2022)
Jun 10, 2022Giallo Thriller
Dario Argento makes a highly anticipated return to the director’s chair after a decade’s silence, once again revisiting the giallo film, but the results are a major letdown
