..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.

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

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