This movie is gorgeous


This movie is more of an art form. It is like it all takes place in a painting. I don't think the story line is important, since the colorful intense imagery more than makes up for it.

Yes, it all looks incredibly artistic, making it all the more surreal. It made even the more mundane moments in the film intriguing. I know people accuse the film of being style over substance, but that's not a bad thing in this case.

I think Dario Argento's strong suit is visual.

I agree, though i feel he missed a trick in one scene. When she steps into the 'inner sanctum' if you like, i wish they had filmed a closeup of her feet stepping from the noisy floor to the carpet. Would have been a much more effective visual way of showing that instead of the clumsy exposition.

It certainly is. A visual masterpiece.

Easily one of the best looking horror movies I've ever seen. Argento's knack for interesting visuals is spot-on.

The Synapse 4K is outrageous. Possibly the most gorgeous film I have in my collection.
