Here is the cover art for the upcoming American DVD of Dario Argento's controversial Mother Of Tears . I have had a lot of folks email or comment asking me why I haven't posted on this film yet and the reason is because I haven't seen it. I haven't been able to afford an import of it and have resisted downloading what might be an inferior copy. I was hoping it would play at a theater within driving...

Part of my Four Flies on Grey Velvet Tribute Week at Harry Moseby Confidential . Despite it being a work that ended one of the most important collaborations between a director and composer in the early seventies, the music Ennio Morricone wrote for Dario Argento's Four Flies On Grey Velvet remains more than worthy of a reappraisal. After scoring both The Bird With The Crystal Plumage and Cat O Nine...

I had both Thursday and Friday (07/03 and 07/04) off so I ended up getting a bit of a holiday weekend. Thursday I did mostly mundane stuff—laundry, grocery shopping, seeing my therapist—but in the evening my brother-in-law took me to see Dario Argento’s Mother of Tears . It was playing at my favorite theater, the Music Box, which is one of the few old style, non-multi-plex movie houses left in Chicago...

Whether it be a giallo like The Bird With The Crystal Plumage , a dark horror fantasy like Suspiria or a television project like Masters Of...

Will it be better than the hugely divisive Mother of Tears ? That has yet to be seen but fans of Dario Argento are buzzing about his upcoming English language debut Giallo nonetheless. The simple fact that it’s the master’s first feature in English is enough to guarantee a lot of interest in this one and the involvement of Adrien Brody as both star and producer is enough to pretty much guarantee that...

Lots of pics have been popping up online from the set of the upcoming Giallo . This one, that I found at Dario Argento Fans , is my favorite so far and I thought I would share it here. I know everyone is excited about the prospect of Adrien Brody in an Argento film but I must admit I more eager to see what Emmanuelle Seigner, a striking and wonderful actress who has finally begun to get her due in...
