Oh my dear lord! Snorio is at it again...this time, he brings his ham-fisted approach to film making in yet another adaptation of the Bram Stoker classic. Read on for this unbelievable bit of nauseating news:

I haven't watched most of his films after the dreadful Phantom of the Opera in 1998. I did remember liking Jenifer though and then when I re-watched it last Halloween, was horrified at how much of it was unwatchable. And, because of the hype, I did buy Mother of Tears. It's holding up better than Jenifer but it's still pretty ghastly.

The guy's lost his master's touch for sure. I fear what they call him "Grandfather" of. Like they say Lucio Fulci was the "Grandfather of Gore." Argento + technology is not a good combination. The CGI in The Stendhal Syndrome was downright painful. So I'll bet this new project will be a snore. Just like my remake policy, I'd rather trust reviews of his features after Phantom than see them for myself. I prefer to remember my Argento as nearly flawless but sensitive and passionate guy who, prior to Phantom only made one genuine mistake in horror and thrillers: 1970's Cat o' Nine Tails.

Well once I saw this post I rushed to it to add my opinion, being an Argento/Fulci fan, but you pretty much drove a stake through the heart of it! I totally agree.

I'm still warming up to Fulci ... and I saw my first Fulci flick 10 years ago. :D
Definitely an acquired taste.


Great signature, by the way. I haven't seen the whole movie since I was a kid and I never got that line.
