Nice locales, terrible music. The voiceover is pretty darn chatty til it comes to deciding whether or not to tell the audience how the title is pronounced. I bet it plays slightly better on a big screen, but I also bet only about six of us will ever know for sure.

Well, it will be interesting to see Argento working with a really good actor. Unless we're counting Meat Loaf that's something he hasn't done since Suspiria. Otherwise I'm jaded enough to not even care anymore.

PS: Udo Kier doesn't count. He doesn't give a shit anymore.

Argento has worked with plenty of decent actors since then. Brad Dourif, Max Von Sydow, Donald Pleasance, etc. The problem is that Argento just doesn't have the "stuff" anymore.

...and Jennifer Connolly!

That is an awful trailer. "ONE MAN..." voiceovers make me tune out almost as much as "IN A WORLD..."

You're right. I coulda just looked at the shelf. It'll be interesting to see him work with a good YOUNG actor who isn't known for doing anything for a buck. He got nothing out of Sydow, and very little out of Pleasance. Douriff did pretty well with what he was given in Trauma. Connolly also almost managed to overcome his bad actor direction.

I'll add Ian Charleson to the mix just to prove myself wrong. He's the only solid performance in Opera.

"Axl Rose" made me laugh.

Does anybody else think the whole premise is fucked up?

We are supposed to feel sympathetic to a bunch of arrogant vapid "pretty people" getting killed by Axl Rose?

Who cares?

Wow, some seriously spoilery stuff in Hollywood Reporter's review. And they didn't like it.
