Synopsis

Brilliantly mixing gore, vivid colors, and twisting stories filled with black-gloved murderers and dashes of the supernatural, Dario Argento’s films have combined the best of horror and art house cinema. For over thirty years Argento has produced one classic shocker after another, such as Deep Red, Suspiria, Tenebre, and Opera. Now go behind the scenes and learn the dark secrets behind Argento’s movie alchemy, including his striking rock-influenced music, groundbreaking special effects, dizzying camera work, and haunting imagery, from his early mystery masterpieces to his latest thriller, Sleepless. Features interviews with John Carpenter, Alice Cooper, Keith Emerson, and actresses Jessica Harper and Piper Laurie. —amazon

What I appreciated most about this film was that it scoffed at the idea that Argento is the "Italian Hitchcock", a lazy comparison that often gets used, as the movie points out that Argento's films are far too impressionistic to draw comparisons to Hitch. The only similarity there are killers with gloves, and suspense often happens.
