Review of Giallo? (2009) by Shane W — 24 Sep 2009
Oh my. A film that could irrevocably destroy everyone's career that was involved with it. Deservedly so. Barely so bad it's good, it's more "so bad it's astonishing". Scenes stay in wide shots as actors pause, waiting for their cue, ludicrous plot devices are used and logic is continuously thrown to the wind.
Brody sucks horribly as both the determined detective and the killer Yellow, who looks like a cross between Splitting Image puppets of Rambo and Woody Allen. Whoever the lead gal was (I can't be bothered to look up her name) was even worse, but unlike a lot of films where the rule is, "If there is a worse actor in the scene everyone else can get away with poor acting" it seems Argento was holding a competition on who could give the worst performance.
In that case, everyone's a winner. Just terrible, and I'm not an Argento fan, but I can see where fans would forgive his bad writing and characters because of his style, but now it's just plain garbage.
Embarrassing.
