I’ve put off writing about the trailer for Dario Argento’s upcoming self-referential flick Giallo, mostly because the first couple times I tried to watch it I couldn’t even make it to the end. I couldn’t finish watching a trailer. Barely two and a half minutes, and it already hurt. The imitation trailer voice. The DTV lighting and composition. The abject lack of any ideas. Recent movies have proved that Argento still loves beautiful things (by which I mean breasts) and yet his latest stuff grows more aesthetically unappealing with every film.
I do like when Adrien Brody says “I’ll get him,” because it sounds like he’s offering to pick up tacos for lunch. I really believe his determination.

Hmmm. Maybe this won't completely suck. Needs Vincent Gallo. Or Karl Malden.
I hope there is a twist killer in this. Maybe the Pope?
So did you quit watching before Brody says that he's gonna "do what needs to be done"?
Well, I'm glad Argento has the restaurant to fall back on cause this looks like…shhheeeeeeeeeeeeit. I've only seen Suspiria and it is unmistakably the same well being drawn from, the director poaching himself.
This….actually…looks intriguing it looks very atmospheric and moody with touches of playfulness splashed around as much as crimson.I'm going to def look for this one on DVD or at local arthouse cinema.
It does look bad, though I'm sure you actually did watch the whole thing and are lying through your fat teeth. Also this movie should be banned because there is smoking in it and that is worse that Hitler.
Now now, only Aquaman is worse than Hitler…
