Viewing Notes

Better than I remembered and with some extra footage. This release also has a copy of a VHS work print that runs even longer and is supposedly the full uncut version. I’ll have to give it a watch at some point.

Asia would have been 18 when this came out. Still surprised she has a nude scene in this, directed by her father, at that age.

The production values on this feel closer to made-for-tv but it has a great story and some fun, gory special effects by Tom Savini. Not my favorite Argento but far from his worst.
