I think Fulci is more the Italian H.G Lewis. I've found Fulci's films have a better pace than Argento's and a lot of Dario's characters are badly executed because of the poor acting. Fulci's films have some terrible acting don't get me wrong but the gore is the payoff and his films have a creeper doomy atomosphere.
But yeh I'm a total splatter freak so I'm biased :)

shit when i was in my 20's i was insane for the stuff ... thats the downside to seeing everything .. the novelty wears off ... and other things make you lose your taste for certain kinds of nastiness (having a kid for one) too many years of exposure to the daily attrocities of the news is another i still enjoy the Story of Ricky type splatter though .. it's cartoonish

But I've got a really dark sense of humour you'll always see a wee grin and a chuckle during something gruesome. I get some funny looks at the theatre :)

if something is inspired and done well - i'll still get a kick out of it ..
Final Destination 2 is a good example ... this film was a major suprise for me ... the kills were terrific ... it wasnt the kind of film where you gave a shit about the characters so i didnt feel sadistic admitting that - it was pretty over the top ... i'm going to have to watch that one again ..

It's amazing how much Argento's stuff varies in quality but the fact that some of his stuff sucks certainly doesn't take away the fact that some of his stuff is great does it? If a film-maker pumps out 1 masterpiece and one hundred pieces of crap I hope people still respect his masterpiece and remember him for that.

I think M. Night will get credit despite The Village (and I actually have a soft spot for Unbreakable no matter how predictable). What about Ewe Boll though? If he does something amazing you think we'll forget House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, and Bloodrayne?

Anyway, if you're ever in doubt of Argento watch Suspira again. I love that film and although it's his most famous, I think it is so for a reason.
