Directed by Dario Argento (Opera, Phenomena, Trauma) made an straightforward thriller with some elements of horror and an few moments of black comedy. Although Argento's latest film is less stylized than usual and the movie is more suspenseful than gory. Oscar-Winner:Brody does an good job with his very low-key performance. Seigner does well in her role. Pataky plays the victim fine. Diedra, who is actually Oscar-Winner actor Brody, who is nearly unrecognizable in his role. Which it is anagram of his name.
DVD has an fine if sometimes grainy anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD's only extra is the original theatrical trailer. "Giallo" is a pretty good thriller that could have been better, especially during the third act. Although Argento disowned this movie, since he couldn't cut the movie, he way, he wanted the picture to be. Oscar-Winner:Brody has filed an suit against the filmmaker, since he claimed he wasn't paid for the movie and he tried to prevent the film's release on DVD and he recently won the lawsuit. Brody gives two different performance, he is good as the Inspector and he is so-so as the killer. Die-Hard fans of Argento's work might like this best. Screenwriters:Jim Agnew (Game of Death) and Sean Keller's original screenplay was heavily re-written by the director. Although the script was written for the director. (*** ½/*****).
