Argento's films are a masterpiece his direction in films are superb he blends in murder mystery to horror with twists in the end. His ways of killing people are ingenious especially when he always killed his wife Daria in his movies.

Nosferatu42, the last ones I seen wasThe Card Player and Mother of Tears. Which seem to be less shock horror than his previous movies

I find his more recent output a bit lacking, sure they all have their moments. but nothing that measures up to his earlier stuff up till Opera.

His earlier stuff was good Opera was OK but he kind of done same thing when he made Phantom of the opera, but Dracula 3D was basically not his best work.

Watched Dracula the other night for the first time,makes Franco's version exciting!

Poor stuff indeed....with the exception of Ms.Argento's bath scene!

I’ve always considered Opera overrated. It’s not a bad film, but yeah just okay. I think Tenebre is Argento’s last great film.
