Violent, brutal and magnifically directed.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJennifer ConnellyDonald PleasenceDaria NicolodiA young girl who has an amazing ability to communicate with insects is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school, where her unusual capability might help solve a string of murders.A supernatural horror movie starring a young Jennifer Connely. Phenomena is a movie that will scare you but also touch you.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsTony MusanteSuzy KendallEnrico Maria SalernoAn American expatriate in Rome attempts to unmask a serial killer he witnessed in the act of an attempted murder - and is now hunting him and his girlfriend.Argento's very first work as a director, "The Bird with Crystal Plumage" starts to set all the common aspects and themes we will find throughout all Argento's work.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsLeigh McCloskeyIrene MiracleEleonora GiorgiAn American student investigates the disappearance of his sister and the death of a friend, both connected from New York to Rome by an old alchemy book.Second chapter of the "Trilogy of the Three Mothers" started with Suspiria in 1977. With Inferno Argento is back to the visual style already show in Suspiria.Even though is a pretty good movie, it doesn't reach the high level of Suspiria.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsMichael BrandonMimsy FarmerJean-Pierre MarielleA musician is stalked by an unknown homicidal maniac, who blackmails him for the accidental killing of another stalker.Argento's most troubled movie "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" is the third chapeter of the anthological "Trilogy of Animals" (The Bird with Crystal Plumage, 1970 - The cat o' nine tails, 1971). In this movie we find again all the distinctive traits of the "giallo" according to Dario Argento.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsCristina MarsillachIan CharlesonUrbano BarberiniA young opera singer is stalked by a deranged fan bent on killing the people associated with her to claim her for himself.Opera is the watershed between Dario Argento's early career and his latest laming works.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJames FranciscusKarl MaldenCatherine SpaakTwo journalists try to solve a series of murders connected to a pharmaceutical company's secret experiments, becoming targets of the killer themselves.Argento's second work behind the camera comes less than a year after the success of "The Bird with Crystal Plumage". Here's Argento shows nothing new from what he has shown in the previous movie. Even though the genetic-related plot, The Cat O' Nine Tails is the weakest movie of the "Trilogy of Animals"
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsMax von SydowStefano DionisiChiara CaselliA retired police detective and a young amateur sleuth team up to find a serial killer who's resumed a killing spree in Turin, Italy after a 17-year period.After some breakdowns encountered with his previous works, Argento decides to go back to the giallo and signs an enjoyable thriller with many reminds to his masterpiece "Profondo Rosso". Despite some weak points, Nonhosonno has been acclaimed a solid return of Dario Argento after a disappointing artistic period.
- DirectorDario ArgentoGeorge A. RomeroStarsAdrienne BarbeauHarvey KeitelRamy ZadaA duo of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations about a greedy wife's attempt to embezzle her dying husband's fortune, and a sleazy reporter's adoption of a strange black cat.Co-directed with his long time friend and colleague George Romero, Two Evil Eyes is a movie in two episodes, one directed by Romero and the other one (The Black Cat) directed by Argento, both based on worldwide famous Allan Poe's essays. Argento's episode is better worked than Romero's one, and its gothic, dark atmosphere perfectly matches E.A. Poe style.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsChristopher RydellAsia ArgentoPiper LaurieA young man tries to help a teenage girl find the serial killer who murdered her parents before the killer comes after them.If we exclude "Nonhosonno"(2001) 'Trauma' might represent Argento's swan song. A limping film, confused and farraginous.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsAsia ArgentoCristian SolimenoAdam JamesAn American art student in Rome accidentally triggers the return of Mater Lachrymarum - the Third Mother - and must use her latent magical powers to end the witch's reign of terror.The "Trilogy of the Three Mothers" finally comes to an end 30 years after the first chapter "Suspiria". Hated or loved movie, Mother of Tears could have been definetly a better movie. What makes this movie horrible to many people is that it's indegnous to close a beautiful trilogy started with Suspiria and Inferno. If this movie was unconnected from the other two and had a better general working and realization, it could have not been that bad.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsStefania RoccaLiam CunninghamSilvio MuccinoA Rome policewoman teams up with a British Interpol agent to find a crafty serial killer who plays a taunting game of cat-and-mouse with the police by abducting and killing young women and showing it over an Internet web cam.The Card Player looks like a tired movie. A mediocre detective movie, with no high points nor a envolving plot. I could have accepted it from an emerging director, but not from Argento.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsAsia ArgentoThomas KretschmannMarco LeonardiA young policewoman slowly goes insane while tracking down an elusive serial rapist/killer through Italy when she herself becomes a victim of the brutal man's obsession.Boring, pointless, and with very bad digital effects. Again, a movie that could have been way better if only done and worked better.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJulian SandsAsia ArgentoAndrea Di StefanoGory remake of the Gaston Leroux classic story, only this time, the phantom is not disfigured, but a man who was raised by rats deep under the Paris Opera House.Unwatchable. 2 out of 10 just because I love Argento so much I feel guilty giving this less.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsThomas KretschmannMarta GastiniAsia ArgentoAsia Argento stars in horror legend Dario Argento's sexy spin on the classic tale about the sharp-toothed count who craves human blood.Here Argento reaches the bottom: bad writing, acting and direction. Bad photography, embarassing digital effects and use of light. Unworthy of bearing the name of Argento.
