Bearing in mind this is the remains of an aborted effort it is much better than might have been expected. I don't think I have ever seen it before and found the Romero contribution a bit overstretched and dull. It all seemed rather bland and although the frozen victim looks pretty good the 60 minute segment certainly overstays its welcome. We segue into Argento's part and everything changes. It would seem he must have taken all the production funds as whilst Romero's looks stuck on a poor studio set, this second film is a complete transformation with fabulous lighting, cinematography and directorial style. He takes liberties all over the place, introducing different Poe elements, managing an element of humour into the proceedings and milking the presence of Harvey Keitel to the hilt. Great fun and one of the director's great late films.
