Welcome to the largest site on the internet dedicated to Dario Argento - one of the most stylish and visually imaginative director's alive today. This is not intended to be a sycophantic 'shrine' to him but a place for information and enlightenment and hopefully you will leave knowing more than when you came. There are all sorts of cool things within these pages - reviews, filmographies, biographies, interviews, slideshows, video/audio downloads and a forum. For an attempt at explaining why I like his films, click here

dario in the woods
Alan Jones writes:

"Three witches. a girl's school deep in a foreboding forest, whispering trees, an Alida Valli look-alike teacher and a gifted student who must find out what's going on between classes. No it's not the MOTHER OF TEARS opening, or a SUSPIRIA redux. It's Lucky McKee's latest trip to the well of Argento influence. In his debut MAY, McKee paid homage to Dario in both plot and dialogue. In the long-shelved THE WOODS he has literally crafted a SUSPIRIA for the latest tween generation. It's a film that will be of most interest to Argento fans. It isn't as good as MAY - the plot gets more unfocused as it wends its way to a slam-bang finale after a slow build up. But it proves McKee has talent even if he has misjudged the core audience for it. Well acted - Patricia Clarkson is smouldering evil personified, restrained for a change Bruce Campbel, terrific lead Agnes Brucknerl - and shunted around for three years since producer United Artists got sold off, THE WOODS is old school horror in both senses and well worth a look for SUSPIRIA completists."

Giallo
(pronounced 'djallo, plural gialli) is an italian 20th century genre of literature and film, which in italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language, however, it is used in a broader meaning that is closer to the french fantastique genre, including elements of horror fiction and eroticism.

The word giallo is Italian for "yellow" and stems from the origin of the genre as a series of cheap paperback novels with trademark yellow covers.
