Sommario/riassunto

Italian film director Dario Argento is best known for his work in two closely related genres, the crime thriller and supernatural horror. Approaching Argento's films as rhetorical statements made through extremes of sound and vision, Cooper places Argento in a tradition of aestheticized horror.
