Are you kidding? My heart goes out to those who have been duped into actually sitting through this LOAD of self-indulgent crap! A bigger waste of time I can't imagine. I don't want to be alone in a room with anyone who thinks they can derive a deeper meaning out of this mess. The strobe-like nature of the decomposed film segments is near seizure-inducing and POINTLESS! And the score!!!! I can still feel it cutting through my skull like a stryker saw. Before anyone tries to explain to me that this is not meant as entertainment, but as art, let me stop you. Clearly this is not entertainment. As art, I put it in the same category as a blank canvas with a slice through the middle of it that I once saw in a gallery; a feeble attempt at telling me what art is supposed to be. I'll bet the writer/director(!) is having a great laugh at the expense of those who think they "get it". I'm amazed that I actually sat through this mindless garbage. I felt I had to see the entire thing to comment on it. God, am I sorry. If I can save one unsuspecting person from seeing this vacuous piece of pseudo-art, my mission is complete.

Some clearly look too closely at this movie. To analyze this as one would mainstream films is both unenlightened and missing the point. Enjoy this for the Argento. It is great Argento. To see this movie is to see a great euro-thriller director at his very best. If you over analyze it....as some do.....you will miss one of the best times you can have in a thriller. Everything is here.....the gaudy lighting, the brilliant set pieces, the pounding soundtrack, and the murder scenes that have to be seen to be believed. Apparently some see a sexual contridiction in this movie. Lighten up. It never pretended to be a study in feminism. It is what it is....and that is a great, suspenseful, smartly done thriller. If you look too hard you miss the finer things.
