(1970)
Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante) is an American writer currently living in Rome with his model girlfriend Julia (Suzy Kendall). On the night before they are about to return to the US, Sam witnesses the attack of a woman (Eva Renzi) by a mysterious black-gloved assailant dressed in a raincoat. Attempting to reach her, Sam is trapped between two mechanically-operated glass doors and can only watch as the villain makes his escape. The woman, Monica Ranieri, the wife of the gallery’s owner, survives the attack, but the local police confiscate Sam’s passport to stop him leaving the country, because they believe him to be an important witness. Sam is haunted by what he saw that night, feeling sure that some vital clue is evading him, and soon finds that both he and his girlfriend are the killer’s new targets. In an exciting conclusion, Sam chases the mysterious assailant through a darkened building. He is trapped once more, this time pinned to the floor by release of a wall-sized sculpture of wire and metal. Unable to free himself, he becomes the prey of the person he was pursuing -- the attractive, deranged wife of the gallery owner. This climax to the mystery, with strong sado-masochistic elements, has the knife-wielding lady teasing Sam in preparation to stabbing him. She fails, of course, and Sam provides the obligatory wrap-up scene with his girlfriend. (Note: The scene on the advertising materials does not appear in the movie).

This film is just one of many examples of why Argento is a great horror director.

Just my personal one. Brandi and I mix it up with movies to keep it interesting. This month will be a zombiefest, next month an Argento, then maybe a slasherfest ,Savini, Stephen King, a ghost movie fest etc.
It's fun to do , gives us reasons to watch the greats over and over and makes decisions easier

Thanks bro. Gotta keep it interesting ynow. I still wish we could all watch the same movie one week and comment on them but a lot of people do not own these slashers. Maybe we should have a small slasherfest somehow. Watch like 4 movies this month and then rate and comment on them.

Classic Argento flick, showcases his talents quite well. Very high quality, like much of his catalog.

If i had the power to make everybody here on clad have the amount of horror movies i own, i would. I enjoy talking about these different types of horror. Some of the films i have, some people never even heard of them.
I know a few members here enjoy collecting horror,scabboy being one,and a few others too.I'm pretty sure Demon has a nice collection as well.

What does your collection stand at? I'll be able to help with some of the discussion. There's far more than just the big three slashers. Here's a link to my collection, just to give an idea what I'm into: www.dvdspot.com/member=Saruman1719
