I don't think Argento's problem is his budget. It's usually the scripting. His imagery is gorgeous, his actors are good, but Argento is a very nonverbal guy. Lynch uses it to his advantage with creepy nonspeech, but Argento tries for realistic dialogue in spite of the fact that he doesn't have an ear for it. The only Argento dialogue that's exceptional is all the metacinema in Opera.
