Giallos I Want To Watch & I Have Watched (109 movies items)

"1 out of 5 I haven't seen this since the early 00's, so I might need to give this one a rewatch. It was pretty wtf and had a good bit of body horror and that's all I remember."

Movies I Watched in January 2021 (56 movies items)

" Date: 1/3/2021 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: I haven't watched Opera in about almost 20 years and I had the Blu-ray on my shelf for the last few years now. My January Horror Hunt gives me a reason to revisit this movie again and this movie is still awesome. Opera is probably Dario Argento's last great movie in my opinion. Just like any other movie from Dario Argento, you have fantastic visuals and a great soundtrack. I love how this movie looks and feels. It may not be on the same level as S"

Movies the giraffe watched in 2018: March (29 movies items)

"First viewing - March 22nd Argento is very hit and miss with me I'm finding, and this was more of a miss. It's not bad at all though...the art of the film was very impressive and made it worth sitting through. From the colors to the camerawork to the set design, there's a lot here to appreciate. And the means the killer uses to keep our protagonist watching what he does...outstanding nightmare fuel. I just didn't care much for the characters though, and found the acting to be lacking at times. "
