As a director Argento makes George Lucas look great for performances he gets out of his actors (it's so bad I wondered if some were dubbed Italian actors). Once you get past that (which is a big hurdle) the style was at times pretty excellent for some moments. Remember Deep Red and Tenebre were my favorites. No idea why I stopped but Opera was next I intended to watch. |

Have a more concise summary of what I remember of his now. Would feel like you are watching a bad B movie for long stretches with very bad acting and not at all interesting setup. Then after you wait through that shit some excellently shot scene (almost always death) would turn up and seem some brilliant director took over. |

I just watched Scarecrow (1988). Not too good.
I'm gonna try to squeeze in Hammers "Two Faces of Dr Jekyll" or Bava's "I Vampiri" before I pass out. Probably not going to make it. |

I like when the lady at the ending of Howling part1 turns back (momentarily) long enough to order her burger at that diner, just before the closing credits!

Horror is a genre I used to really like when younger but kinda stopped following closely and not sure why. Have a bunch of the popular mainstream and indie ones in the past few years in my queue but never seem to get around to it.

-- Horror films you may have missed - suspense, thrillers also okay here...
