Legendary Italian horror film director Dario Argento returns to the giallo genre with his latest film, ‘Dark Glasses.’
Despite Argento’s career flatlining in his later years with ‘Giallo’ and ‘Dracula 3D’ resembling all the passion and production values of 1990’s made-for-TV movie, I’m seriously excited that ‘Dark Glasses’ may at least show some return to form. His framing of imagery and murder set pieces are unrivalled, even today, so there’s always the possibility of a late spark of genuine creativity from Argento as he returns to return to the giallo genre that made his name.
Ilenia Pastorelli and Asia Argento star in his latest and possibly last feature film. The film’s protagonist is Diana, a luxury escort, who loses her sight in a car crash while escaping the ‘Cello’ serial killer in Rome. Blind and scared, Diana must learn to start a new life and escape the killer’s clutches with the help of her suport worker, Rita. But the killing spree has only just begun.
