I don't think it's pretentious, I think a murder mystery film has to be confident enough to string along it's audience until the end. Which, is where I am guessing your idea of it being pretentious comes from. I'm not entirely sure. But I severely need to start watching more Fulci. I've only seen Zombie from his work.
And, I'm certainly not the biggest Argento fan, I've only seen Tenebre, Suspiria, and Deep Red. I love Suspiria, I like Tenebre, and I don't care for Deep Red.
