This is the first film in ten years that Dario Argento, a legend in genre filmmaking, has written and directed. He is now 82 years old.
The film has attracted neither lavish plaudits nor razzberries. The reception has been tepid.

Better than Dracula 3D and Giallo, but not even lower mid-tier Argento. The plot was more nonsensical than most of his collaborations with Ferrini and the dialogue… Oy vey.
He’s often had some nudity in his films, but yeah, his predilection for getting Asia outta her clothes on film has always been a tad squicky, as it were.
Europeans don’t tend to act like ridiculous prudes like the US when it comes to topless women. They are actually topless on the beach there. People in the US often act like little children when it comes to these matters for whatever reason.
As his movies get worse, the more nude babes he throws in – including his daughter!
