Dario Argento "Masters of Horror"

[dornravlin]

bavas better director 

[RoseofMay]

Suspiria is possibly my favorite horror movie. It was one of the most unique, beautiful, scary films I'd ever seen. The use of color is so different, and I LOVE Goblin's score. Just amazing. Regardless of how unimportant story is in the grand scheme of things in this movie, I still liked the story (and the idea of the Three Mothers) and how surreal and atmospheric it was. Deep Red was an excellent film, too.

[Burleyson]

I would like to hear Argento's own voice in Italian and then perhaps a less weird translator. This guy is a dead fish!

[ledZeppelin7680]

the guy translating for argento honestly has the best voice of all time. he's like an undead solid snake.

My True Horror Inspirations:

James Wan (Insidious, Saw, Paranormal Activity, Dead Silence)

Leigh Whannell (Insidious, Saw, Paranormal Activity, Dead Silence)

Wes Craven (Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street, Shocker, The Hills have Eyes)

John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing)

Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

Dario Argento (Deep Red, Suspiria)

Rob Zombie (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects)

Guillermo Del Toro (Don't be afraid of the dark, Pinocchio)

Especially James and Leigh!

@11poketrainer How about Stephen King and Cleave Barker, If anyone is better than Dario Argento would be them with Wes Craven right behind him and Tobe Hooper and Wes Craven next in line.

[shushi1234]

BTW, I fell in love with Dario Argento's film, DEMONS, trust me, its a great film and I totally recommend it, plus it was when he made George Romero make a run for his money on the film Night of the living dead which I also love him too!

[KadrickNinness]

@shushi1234

Argento didn't make Demons.

Aside from one or two effective moments, it didn't do much for me.

[DennisDaja]

@11poketrainer James Wan and Leigh Whannel have no link whatsoever to "Paranormal Activity" and Whannel is not a director.

[11poketrainer]

@DennisDaja I didn't know that when I typed it 3 weeks ago!

[11poketrainer]

Deep Red and Suspiria are the best! Dario Argento!

[Rawr5649]

discovering Argento has been awesome for me to get BACK into the horror Genre.

[Threetails]

I think "Inferno" is underrated. It was a worthy sequel to "Suspiria" and really kept the deep, dreamlike feeling of plunging deeper and deeper into the mystery.  Argento's world of basements below basements and attics above attics is so much like my own more vivid dreams in its brooding character.

[royalnaz1]

deep red is not better than suspiria

[royalnaz1]

that stabbing the heart in suspiria was wild. I had to look away. besides that suspiria is one of my favorites

[Sirgreaseflick]

ILikeToDissectGirls: Comparatively no, Hooper is NOT consistent as a Horror director, nor as talented. Yes, Chainsaw 1 and 2 are unfettered classics., Funhouse is, well, fun....as for Poltergeist, we all know Speilberg had much to contribute; even he now admits this (just look @ the shots, style, editing). The rest of his Horror omnibus is pretty crud, sorry but true.

[paulalane100]

Bruce Campbell, the chin that launched a thousand ships.

[TonyInTopeka]

if you haven't seen his daughter, Asia Argento, check her out, one of the most beautiful women in the world, my humble opinion, lol :)

[Sirgreaseflick]

Suspiria, that's operatic horror at it's zenith. Visually, he can't be touched: his work should be looped in a gallery - his shots, use of gels, tracking techniques, cranes are unspeakably peerless. Just fucking brilliant! Romero, Argento, Carpenter (sometimes), Stuart Gordon, these guys are legends. Hooper snagged a certified cult hit - once! Romero is a genius of editing, seemless character contortions, sub-plots, etc. Gordon is gore with pop-corn-coated cheesyness. Argento forever!

[ILikeToDissectGirls]

@Sirgreaseflick Hooper had only one cult hit? Have you not seen The Funhouse, Poltergeist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, or any of his other films?

[DafneKritharas]

The Master. "For ever, and ever, and never"

[jbdream3]

I love Dario Argento! If you want to see real sophisticated foreign horror movies Italian style, I recommend Argento! Susperia and Opera are two of my personal favorites.

[RockxXxPrincessxXx66]

Dario Argento Is A Genius Nuff Said!

[RazorHuggs]

Suspiria has one of the most realistic stabbing scenes of all time ... sick sick bastard ... loved it.

[MarcusVermilion]

Happy 70th Dario!

[ashesxxful]

Suspiria is such a beautiful horror.

[skeletor718]

I remember when I was 8 years old I watchet this part on TV and it messed me up

[BADSYNE]

while "Inferno" and "Suspiria" are dream like, the rest really aren't

[Enysvar]

@BADSYNE His giallos are very dream like!

[yagamei]

@BADSYNE

I agree, man. they really only shed light on his early "mothers" films, when they could very well have discussed his classic animal trilogy. I suppose his gialli work may be misconstrued as mere mystery thrillers and not "horror" in the traditional sense before a dumber audience though! ; )

[CArownny]

@lamentate07 Speaking as a fan of all that is cinema.... GOD FUCKING DAMN YOU!!!!!!

Thank you for your time : )

[smjjohnson]

Argento & Horror, one of the best..

[lamentate07]

the guy has been a hack for 20 years IMO. He was always a bit of a hack, but at least he was a stylish one back in the day. i.e the 70's.

hasn't made anything worth a shit in decades though.

[MainManAus]

I wanna screw Jenifer!

[Horrorprincess100]

i love his movies

[Salvatorek]

Bruce Campbell as the presenter is a prefect choose

[Broyale26]

@Salvatorek

I agree.

[TheLosthigh]

choice

[Dgblo]

@Salvatorek most agreeable! ASH!

[erebus73]

Love the guy, shame his work has somewhat dwindled away over the years.

[Razport]

I think it is sad that he sort of purposely made his work sort of tongue-in-cheek post Stendhale Syndrome. (spelling?)

[TheTillinger123]

thx für uploading the series

good for learning english^^

i´m from germany^^

[ReviewsDesZorns]

@TheTillinger123 du hast immer noch 'für' geschrieben, aber lassen wirs^^

[SplitSpades11]

this is great!

[joldges]

it's cool to see carpenter speaking as a fan and not just as a director

[makkil2]

my favorite so far, is The Bird With The Crystal Plumage

[LittleMissBuzzkill]

Wow. Edger Allen Poe inspired him. That's amazing.

[drumtum]

I grew up watching Argentos movies, and i love most of his movies. But some movies can be hard to take in. But when the camerawork, effects and music works perfect together like in Suspiria and Deep red it´s unbeatable horror in my eyes. A dreamlike world!

[hordesoftheundead]

Argento looks like an aged Ian Curtis.

[phaserlust]

his daughter is the greatest actress of all time.

[blackbeard246]

That reminds me of the magician "Richiardi" who combines horror with his act of "Sawing a lady in half". Believe me, it's not cliche! He combines great special effects with the gruesome thought of killing his daughter!

Check it out!

[HorrorReviews123]

My top 5 argento flicks

1. Suspiria

2. Deep Red

3. Opera

4. Tenebre

5. Stendyle Sendrome

[KnifeAndStick]

I agrred with you up until Stendehl Syndrome. I would have to put Phenomena or Inferno above that one, good list though.

[thecrimsonfloyd]

Deep Red is better than Suspiria!

[Pugartes]

Damn Bruce Campbell is hot I'd still bang him til this day.

[jhniscol]

Argento, one of the most twistedly intellegent and shcking geniuses

[giorgioeasy]

notice to mariners look for the "song for nina" very!very!80' horror video

[ehcmier]

What are you talking about?

[stormshed]
