Argento may have hit jackpot at the right place and the right time.

It's amazing to me that the Italians waited six years to latch on the giallo craze, piling onto this one as opposed to Bava's Blood and Black Lace, which is a more enjoyable and outrageous effort. Maybe it just didn't make as much lira?Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-27469006601467078402022-07-18T20:27:19.375-04:002022-07-18T20:27:19.375-04:00Great write-up, Fred!

I agree, this is a powerhouse shift for Ti West, who was last seen really ticking me off with the supremely idiotic and lazy The Sacrament. With this, he has redeemed himself and then some. Had a great time, and when was the last time that the end credits provided a twist ending? Never saw that coming. Well done, all.Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-27904494046432901402020-08-12T03:30:56.795-04:002020-08-12T03:30:56.795-04:00Yeah, it should have never been made.

That being said, I wholeheartedly agree that the Spanish Version is asthetically Superior and leagues ahead atmosphericaly to Browning's Version; with respects to camera placement, scene extensions that truly flesh out the characters so much more, and the additional way scenes are more enhanced. Clearly, had Browning's Version not had the Iconic star power of Bela, Van Sloan and Dwight Frye. . .the English Version would have been " Deep Sixed " next to Melford's Version. Thankfully though, we have both Versions to admire and marvel at; so, sit back, watch both Versions back-to-back and prepare to be Monumentally entertained! ! !Robert the Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369559367170743715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-33166362353441625842020-01-18T23:28:16.917-05:002020-01-18T23:28:16.917-05:00Yeah, only watch this if you're bored.
