![]() "The Stendhal Syndrome" This was only the second Argento I've seen after "Suspiria". I thought it was good, but not great. Never been a big Asia Argento fan as an actress. I went into the movie expecting not to like it. ![]() I watched this tonight. I was in the mood for a fun, B-horror movie. Boy did this deliver. It was a mixed bag though. It basically wants to be "Friday the 13th" on a ski mountain. All the main actresses were cute. Yet there was only some brief nudity from them, which was odd and disappointing because you see some guy's ass in it too. Some of the kills were done well, but then a few were off screen. Then the ending was of Sci-fi original movie quality. So basically this movie was all over the place. I rated it two stars. |

![]() 9/10. Not only one of the best animated movies I've ever seen but also one of the best movies from Wes Anderson: it's so funny and clever. The characters are great and they did an amazing job on the voices, it's incredible. So yeah, this movie is really good, watch it.

Oof. I've been so turned off by W. Anderson's downward trajectory I never gave it a chance. Maybe I'll give it a go.

My favorite Argento film has always been Phenomena. ![]() It's a bit rougher around the edges than a film like Suspiria (which I actually consider a good thing), but it's definitely just as surreal, and offers a much, much, much more entertaining story. If you're looking for your next Argento flick, I couldn't recommend this one more! |

"Phenomena" was kinda gross. My lame roomate two years ago walked in with his also lame buddies when Jennifer Carpenter falls in the decaying body parts. They thought I was nuts.

Thanks for the reccomend Eugene. Keep meaning to see more of Argento's films, particularly his earlier stuff, just haven't made much of an effort. Saw the "The Stendhal Syndrome" because it was reccomended to me and it was on Instant Watch, but been meaning to see more of his films where he was at his peak say his films from "The Bird With the Crystal Plummage (1970)" up to "Opera", (1987) if the ratings on Netflix are any indication.

![]() Certain elements reminded me of Brain Damage, others were slightly similar to John Carpenter's The Thing. One thing is for certain though, I've never seen anything quite like this. I really appreciated the FPS shot from a knife's viewpoint as it was being used to stab someone. I don't think I've ever seen that before. 8.5/10 |

EVIL WITHIN (or "Baby Blood" as it's sometimes called) is something of a masterpiece. Saw it many years ago... some of the effects were done by the Dead Alive team. Love the gap toothed heroine and the baby pulling on the organs haha. Truly weird movie, AMAZING atmosphere. I guess I can sorta see a Henenlotter type influence, but the film is more like a Slime City/Body Melt type movie, or maybe Schramm/Der Todesking art horror type stuff at times. Sick atmosphere. Check those films out.

Cat - 5/10
Deep Red - 6/10 Suspiria - 8/10 Phenomena - 5/10 Opera - 9/10 Phantom of the Opera - 1/10 Card Player - 5/10 Jennifer - 6/10 Pelts - 6/10 I've said this before, but I really think Argento is a good cinematogropher and a bad director. Which is to say that once you get past how great his camera work is and how amazing the films look, you realize that a lot of the movies are bad/boring/trite.
