Argento is in Giallo territory once again, this time following an American writer, who is in the unfortunate position of being stalked, the said stalker also killing anybody that is in anyway connected with him in a professional capacity.
As ever with this style, this is less about the content than the actual style, and here Argento is on top form.
Stylish, atmospheric, and the sudden bursts of violence are both shocking and beautifully choreographed.
Argento is a real master of the disturbing image, and has a great eye for detail.
Not one that will please multiplex movie lovers, but fans of proper horror should sink their teeth into this one.
