- Rob MacKinnonJune 1, 2026I hated this movie. I realize now that I don’t get Dario Argento and the love for these movies. Sure, I can appreciate the overall visual style, production design, music, etc., but the fact that the men are always misogynistic jerks and the women are always either sex objects or helpless victims or both is infuriating. If that’s the point, great. But they’re not for me.
