A granddaddy of the modern horror genre, this Dario Argento
near-masterpiece has it all. Creepy kids, inventive deaths, mysterious
locations, parapsychology, lots of visual humor, suspenseful
cat-and-mouse scenes, dynamic camerawork, equally good mise-en-scene and
impressive clean colors, especially red. Marred by terrible dubbing in
Italian, some stilted performances and a contemporary 1970s score that
wants you to kill the inventor of the synthesizer. Socially pretty
modern. Or well, European. Well worth of your time.
