I can agree with some of that. His visual style is stunning. The end of Tenebre was utterly astounding. The uber-red blood on the white wall was killer. That and Two Evil Eyes are his best efforts to me. Of course John Saxon and Harvey Keitel make those worth watching too.
Suspiria had its moments, but too few of them. Creepers was awful. And Deep Red was the most boring, shitty-ass movie I've ever sat through. I hate it with a passion. You can say whatever you like about "fast food" horror generation, but that's not why I don't like him. I like a lot of films that are deemed slow. But Argento's are usually very tedious and uninteresting. I can give him credit for his visual presence, but not for giving me characters I don't care about and some non-sensical plots. He's the only "master of horror" I don't care for. Just an opinion.
