Completely forgot about this guy until this thread came up. Maybe 10 years ago or so I watched a string of his films. First was Susperia and didn't the praise but powered through some more and finally clicked.
As a director Argento makes George Lucas look great for performances he gets out of his actors (it's so bad I wondered if some were dubbed Italian actors). Once you get past that (which is a big hurdle) the style was at times pretty excellent for some moments. Remember Deep Red and Tenebre were my favorites. No idea why I stopped but Opera was next I intended to watch.
