..I dont like the way Argento uses music in different scenes...it often feels misplaced...too rock'y to be scary...he should use more ambient/atmosphere music..

I liked the music in the Argento flicks Terror At The Opera, Creepers and Suspiria. I got really annoyed with the music in Deep Red and Tenebre because I thought it was really tacky.

I think the "rocky' aspect is kinda trashy and cool. Stabbings to Iron Maiden, Motorhead and Steel Grave kick ass :p

Yeh I heard the Card Player is total garbage but critics reactions to horror films never sway me either way its just something you have to see to decide for yourself.

I heard his film Sleepless was a return to form tho.

I REALLY enjoyed Sleepless (aka I Can't Sleep.) It had one of those murder scenes that really got to me. Not to mention it was a nice mystery story along the lines of Tenebre. I agree you should give it a shot.

Cool I will.... it has the Priest out of the Exorcist starring in it?

I liked Deep Red, the other stuff was too boring/cheesy.

Never though those words would pass my lips but its the way I'm beginning to feel. I've always enjoyed his films but latley I've just found them average and he doesn't compare to Fulci.
You can't be serious.

You're thinking of Max von Sydow. Yes, he's in both.
