Viewing Notes

Holy crap do I love this movie!! It’s so batshit and hardcore and set in a wax museum, which I love. This really surprised me. I was not keen on the dubbing but it was a minor distraction. IIRC there’s tidbit about this in that middling FULCI FOR FAKE doc that mentions that Argento in mending his relationship w/Fulci had convinced him to direct this. Sadly he passed away before that could happen but he did work on the screenplay / story with Dario. And this totally feels like a Fulci joint, another reason to love it.
