Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A movie that makes sense only to the eye (and even then . . .).

Argento works so hard for his effects -- throwing around shock cuts, colored lights, and peculiar camera angles -- that it would be impolite not to be a little frightened.

It's always fascinating to watch; the thrills and spills are so classy and fast that the movie becomes in effect what horror movies seemed like when you were too young to get in to see them.

Mr. Argento's methods make potentially stomach-turning material more interesting than it ought to be.
