    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The impressive two and a half minute crane shot the encircles Tilda's house took three days to be completed. American distributors wanted the shot to be cut from the film for US release, but Argento refused.
    • Goofs
      When Peter chases after the killer out to the street, the long shot shows him from the rear, looking to his left, but in the following close-up from the front, he's looking to his right.
    • Quotes

      Peter Neal: Let me ask you something? If someone is killed with a Smith & Wesson revolver... Do you go and interview the president of Smith & Wesson?

    • Crazy credits
      Anne's screams continue even as the ending credits roll.
    • Alternate versions
      The U.S. Mill Creek Entertainment DVD release under the title "Unsane" is listed as the 110 minute version. However, the version on the disc is pan-and-scanned, heavily edited and runs a little over 90 minutes.

    Argento's Lesser Known Masterpiece
    Argento's films aren't for everyone (in fact he was famously quoted saying, "If you don't like my movies, don't watch them."), but they're certainly for me. If you're a fan of Argento, this is one you won't want to miss. If you're not familiar with his work, this wouldn't be a bad place to start. This film is easier to follow than some of his scripts, it has just as many bloody kills as some of his others; it boasts a great soundtrack, fine performances, and enough twists to keep you guessing until the very end. A marvelous entry from Argento, one I'll be sure to revisit.
