Having watched this movie once before and failed to get through it, I wasn't expecting much. And i should have trusted my earlier judgement, I thought this was not very good at all. Very lackluster effort from possibly my favorite Director on the planet. Has to be his worst movie that ive seen of his, and ive seen the majority.

I watched this film with a sinking feeling. I'd hoped that despite all the bad things I'd heard about it I'd find some level of enjoyment, but sadly no. Best forgotten...

Dario Argento used to make really pretty movies but he was never a good writer or an actor's director. It's really strange for him to do a drama like this with such a serious subject matter and to an extent it's commendable but The Stendhal Syndrome doesn't work because it's f'n ridiculous. It's an ok story. The problem is the usual with Argento: the terrible dialogue, the sloppy editing, the grating soundtrack, it's too long, it's unengaging, and... oh lordy, the CG!

An Italian detective with a severe psychological condition persues a serial rapist/murderer or is it the other way around. Bloody & brutal, also happens to be for now Dario Argento's last good film.

Very, very weird. It just confirms my idea that there is something wrong with Dario Argento. Not as excessively visual and violent as many of his other films, this focuses more on the elements of suspense. It also involves his daughter being violently raped multiple times. So, yeah, this one creeped me out. Watch Deep Red or Suspiria instead.

Art can be deadly!

Nowhere near close to Argento's best, in fact it's closer to the other side.

Many of my friends would have had me believe Argento hasn't made a decent flick since Phenomena. However, they'd be wrong. The Stendhal Syndrome totally worked for me in every way. Asia Argento was excellent, and the murderer was absolutely disturbing. While in many ways it feels quite different from his other works, I think this one deserves the recognition of some of Argento's finest films.
