Guest TheEdge Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I'm a huge fan of his horror films, especially "Inferno", "Tenebre" and "Suspiria". I think "Inferno" and "Suspiria" are probably the closest that anyone has ever come to capturing a nightmare on film. I also enjoyed "Deep Red" and "Phenomena", just not as much as the above three.
2GOLD Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Hell yeah. Brutal, sick, psycho....he's like the uncle I never had. Plus any man who makes a movie where his own daughter gets raped is a special individual.
NoCalMike Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I have the Suspiria 3-disc limited edition DVD & Opera 2-disc collectors edition. Argento is the man, and Asia Argento is a hottie. I have also seen Tenebrae.
BlackFlagg Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 gotta love Argento, can't forget Fulci or Bava though<Mario that is> dunno what to think about this though, they're remaking Suspiria - http://imdb.com/title/tt0363109/
Special K Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I love Suspiria, and am looking forward to seeing Deep Red. Gremlin (who does music for his films) should be given a lot of credit too, though.

Guest El Satanico Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 aaahahahahaha... Gremlin ...ahahahaa I'm not laughing at you
Gary Floyd Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 How do I love Argento's films? Let me count the ways...
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Deep Red > you Susperia is the shit. Anyman who helped George Romero produce "Dawn of the Dead", is a deeply respected person in my eyes. Argento is one of the greatest horror minds of all time and his films always bring an auroa(sp?) of suspense and his violent scenes are brutal.......yet, beautiful.
nl5xsk1 Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 After the Brattle Theatre (small hipster theatre here in Cambridge) played the Bava flicks a few years back, a few of us asked them to do a series of Argento movies. They looked at us like we'd asked them to eat their young. Needless to say, they felt that Argento's work would be a bit much for the average fan. /Big fan of his work. //bigger fan of Asia

His movies are intelligent and could really go over the head of an "average fan"........
Ravenbomb Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 I've only ever seen Trauma (Demons doesn't count, does it?) but I liked that, and I've got some of his other stuff on my Netflix queue.
Dr. Tom Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 /Big fan of his work. //bigger fan of Asia This man speaks the truth.
Special K Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 ::It's Goblins:: Shit. Well, you know who I meant.
Jingus Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 ::prepares to duck hurtling objects:: I dunno, I've not really liked any of Argento's work that I've seen. I don't understand why Suspiria is so highly rated. It seemed just like an average horror flick to me. I also saw Trauma, which was pretty boring, and Phantom of the Opera, which was a steaming pile o' shite and easily the worst Phantom movie ever (which is REALLY saying something). Also, yeah, Asia is hot as hell, but having her get in creepy sexual situations in her own father's movies just seems sick to me.
MrRant Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I just watch Suspiria today for the first time. Wasn't super impressed. I'd give it a 6/10... maybe.
NoCalMike Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Italian Horror, especially Argento has to be watched more then once to truly appreciate. The style of italian horror is so different from anything else.
MrRant Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I appreciated it in a more "artsy" way than a horror way.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I couldn't recommend Deep Red enough......I personally do like Suspiria.....but I think Deep Red blows it out of the water.
Downhome Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I'm not a fan of any of his films really, or almost any "classic" Italian horror really. I agree with what both J*ingus and MrRant posted.
