    Hooptober 11: 21/31

    Wow. 

    I sit here writing this in pure shock at what I just witnessed. It’s nihilistic, disgusting, hard to watch, but infinitely interesting. There are very few films that have given me the same feeling as watching this film; I Saw The Devil and Lady Vengeance to name a few. I don’t even know how to properly score, let alone write a review for this one. All I know is that the ending is one of the best endings I’ve ever seen, and I know I will be thinking about it for a long time.

    Hooptober 2022 #19

    I just can’t find myself getting into Giallo films. The awkward dubbing takes me out of it so much, and as much as I love Suspiria, that is what took me out of it the most. This film is even worse in that regard. I also just found it boring for the first 2 acts, but I will say that the 3rd act picked up and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I cant deny Argento is a great stylistic director, but this film just didn’t hook me as much as Suspiria did.
