Occhiali neri

Music - awesome. Photography - decent.

Everything else - lame.

Still better then Argento's Dracula, though.

All in all - for diehard Argento fans only.

I found the film a little bit lacking. This is a slasher film and not Citizen Kane! Dario has done some great innovative stuff over the years and while this not being one of them I found it entertaining.

So here we have Dario Argentos latest film, with the english title of "Dark Glasses".

I has seen all the average reviews, so was pleasantly surprised to find it pretty decent and definitely above average.

Dario would of been 81/82 years old making this, and he has still got it, and hopefully will continue to make more.

I must confess i knew Asia Argento was in it, but it took me awhile to spot her.

Of course it isnt upto his great giallos of the 70s and 80s, but its worthy in this day and age.

I cant see me watching 40 or 50 times but i will watch it again.

Deserves a much better IMDB score.

7.5 from me.

It's safe to say this is far from argento's best work but certainly not his worst. One or two good kills and some decent cinematography. Plus the soundtrack is a good listen. Overall no classic but worth tracking down.

I've already seen this movie twice in a 3 days time.

The first time i mostly noticed what was NOT there:

• many choreographed murders
• the surprise/shock of finding out who the killer is
• the close ups of gloved hands and weapons to kill the victims

And in a Dario Argento's movie, for anyone familiar with his style, that is A LOT missing.

But the second view made me appreciate more the film in its own right to "exist".

I recognized in it the same sort of empathy towards the main character that i felt in Phenomena, Opera, Trauma.

Technically thumbs up for the score and cinematography.

Good performance from Asia Argento.
