The latest slasher flick from Italian horror legend Dario Argento ('Suspiria') follows a blind woman on the run from a sadistic killer.
Shot in eerie, diffused light by Matteo Cocco , scored with a retro electro beat by Arnaud Rebotini and using lots of dissolves, the scene is vintage Argento in its banal creepiness, transforming a normal scientific phenomenon into something otherworldly.for the director, a prostitute has her neck slashed in the street by an unknown maniac, blood spewing onto the sidewalk and shocking all the passing Romans.
The mysterious killer next targets Diana, who happens to be a call girl herself, catering to a wealthy older man in his high-class lair. On her way out she’s accosted by the masked murderer, who chases her in a van and provokes an accident that leaves Diana blinded and a little Asian boy, Chin , with two dead parents.
Those early moments of violence are actually some of the only ones in a movie that’s fairly light on the gore and heavy on the sappiness, as if Argento’s knives had been dulled by age. However, rest assured there will be more bloodletting, including a scene of a dog tearing a man’s throat apart until it looks like a bowl of spaghetti bolognese.
Diana eventually reaches out to Chin, who’s stuck on his own in a Catholic orphanage, and the two victims soon join hands to protect themselves from a killer still on the loose, while the police prove to be totally useless. is never all that scary, and some of it is just plain silly, but if you take it at face value it can be enjoyable enough to sit through — more of a reminder of what Argento used to do best than an example in its own right.
He’s always been a master at creating dark urban moods, and here he ominously captures a vacant Rome in partial ruins, lying in wait for another body to drop. The closing sequence, shot at night in a forest, is particularly memorable, following Diana and the boy while they run from stabbing knives and fake snakes, as if they were in a fairytale gone sadistically wrong.
