Viewing Notes

Cracking my Arrow blu. Been way too long. Regret missing this on the big screen a few years ago.

Really love the setup and mystery here. Forgot some of the story beats so it was nice to revisit. Crazy that this was Argento’s first feature film. He really had an eye for framing and composition early on. Also appreciate that he went straight giallo out of the gate with a crime thriller that transitioned into horror in his subsequent films.

This Arrow set is loaded with extras. Great package too.
