The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Giallo (2009)

Starring: Adrian Brody, Elsa Pataky, Emmanuelle Seigner
Director: Dario Argento

Synopsis:
A taxi driver abducts a model. Her sister enlists the help of an FBI Agent to find her. He just happens to be working a serial killer case with similar characteristics.

My Take:
A far cry from Argento's best works. There are gaps in the logic and really not terribly suspenseful. About a third of the way in I just decided to take it for what it was going to be and tried to enjoy.

Rating: In the middle (with a dash of warning)
