Dario Argento's Sleepless may not be his best giallo but it's easily the best Italian suspense flick in many years. As with some of his other films he plunges in right at the start and, like in Suspiria, the opening scene remains the most memorable and violent. The first 15 minutes are riddled with tension and suspense and it's hard to match up to that for the remainder of the film.
Some reviews here say that Argento is ripping himself off with this film. It's true that he's treading on familiar ground here, using similar themes as in his Animal trilogy and, in particular, Deep Red. But let's face it, this is what he does best. The mystery here is masterfully constructed, full of surprising twists and not easily figured out. And what's more, the expected Argento violence is even more extreme here than ever before. Argento doesn't soften up in his old age, he gets even more bloody and Sleepless has go to be considered as his most violent film (with only Tenebrae possibly matching it's viciousness). The film is chock full of (dare I say) brilliant murder setpieces and knockout visuals at every turn.
The music score by Goblin is their best since Suspiria and adds immensely to the film's tension and atmosphere. Acting is uneven, as usual, with Von Sydow delivering a top notch performance while others are not up to his level, although it's fun to see Gabriele Lavia making another return in an Argento movie.
Sleepless is a crackerjack thriller, has a rock solid murder mystery that amateur sleuths will have a field day with, bloody murder sequences to satisfy gore hounds and loads of suspense.
Nobody does Giallo better than Argento, end of discussion.
