JUST FOR GOBLIN's SCORE!

Giallo genre movies are always interesting to watch. The atmosphere and the suspense it creates makes the viewers glue to their seats and without a doubt Dario Argento is one of the most eminent directors of this movement.Though this movie has got a really good suspense and a top notch imagery, I was put off by the abrupt cuts when a scene transitions to its next immediate scene. I felt the editing could have been more crisp because for most part of the film I felt this way which broke the free flow of the movie. Adding to that there are few plot holes too which made me think at times "How in the world did the killer know where most of the main characters who were trying to solve the murders are going to be?" And when in the final act the killer was revealed I thought to myself "No way! There's no way that the killer could have committed all these murders!" But yeah, sometimes you just have to not worry too much about the logic/reasoning behind some of the scenes and all you have to do is just sit back and enjoy the movie, which is what I did.The other thing from the movie which kept me interested apart from the suspense is the score. Goblin did a fantastic score in this, for most part of the movie I was waiting when the director would introduce the score rather than when he would reveal his next clue and eventually the killer LOL! Though at times the score was not in sync with the scene that we see on screen, I was never put off by it but rather I found myself enjoying that funky upbeat 70s rock music. Give this movie a try because it's by Dario and for its score and suspense, you wouldn't be disappointed."Sometimes what you actually see and what you imagine get mixed up in your memory like a cocktail where you can no longer distinguish one flavour from another. You think you're telling the truth from what you saw but you're only telling your version of the truth."My rating - 7/10 5 - Goblin's Score 1 - Suspense 1 - Atmosphere.

Classic Gialli with imaginatively staged killings by the master of horror

Italian cult director Dario Argento, master of arty gore, brings this eerie and stylish story plagued by depraved gore murders, it concerns about a composer(David Hemmings) who observes a chilling assassination of his neighbor, an Occultist-medium (Macha Meril). When he gets clues , the musician visits a woman and discovers that she has been cruelly killed , as well. The composer along with a reporter(Daria Nicolidi, wife to Argento and mother of Asia) start following the tracks on a strange mansion.Other key roles are his friend Carlo(Gabriele Lavia) and the psychic's assistant Doctor Giordini.One of the best ¨Giallo¨with oneiric,effective esthetics packs lots of gore, guts and twists plots. This is a trademark terror work for the Horrormeister Argento with high tension quotient and equally high suspense by means of an ever-fluid camera that achieves colorful shots similarly to Giorgio De Chirico paintings. Noteworthy for intelligent edition work that tightens the mystery, glimmer use of color and distinctive utilization of shock images. Sometimes weak screenplay is added by nice but gory special effects by Carlo Rambaldi(ET).Screeching musical score by Goblin with stereophonic whispers combining to fortissimo soundtrack which help achieve incredible creepy moments.The terror pieces are well staged with eye-opening flair-play and contain obscure tracks to the denouement of the script.As trivia, Argento appears as murderer's hand. The motion picture is originally directed by Dario Argento, one of those film-makers(other examples are Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda ) who set off simple for frightening us to death. His period of biggest hits were the 70s when he directed the animals trilogy: ¨Four flies over gray velvet,The cat of nine tails, Bird with the crystal plumage¨, after he directed ¨Suspiria, Inferno, Tenebre¨ and of course ¨Deep red¨. This bloody fun plenty of graphic gore and weirdness may not be for all tastes but to be liked for Argento connoisseurs especially.
