Format...DVD
Rating...* * *
Plot...Inspector Avolfi is on the trail of a serial killer known only as Yellow. He takes beautiful women and mutilates them to make them ugly. Now time is running out as the Inspector and a woman race to save her sister from the killer's blade.
Thoughts...What was touted as the much returned maestro to a genre that he defined may have been doomed from the start. Essentially Argento was a gun-for-hire. He was brought in to directed someones else's project so you really couldn't lay the blame squarely on him. Not that I am. I liked Giallo for what it was not what it could have been if the stars had aligned as many of the naysayers have. As a hardcore Argento fan I'm perfectly happy that he's just releasing something. Recapturing the glory years are tough and nearly impossible but you can't falt a man from trying.
