Review of Sleepless (2001) by Phil N — 21 May 2009
A master back on form after a period in the 90's of poorly thought out and executed films. A warning though to the faint hearted this film contains some of Argento's strongest and most vicious killings.
Argento is known as the Italian Hitchcock and this film is a classic example of this with red herrings galore and multiple hints and tips as to who the killer is. And of course his now trade mark black gloved killer.
The film deserves multiple viewings for some of the subtler aspects of the story as well as piecing together the multiple plots as characters seem to appear only to throw the viewer off the scent.
For those that have seen this film it is worth going back to see the paralells in what could be I'm my opinion his greatest film 'Profundo Rosso' aka 'Deep Red' aka 'The Hatchet Murders'.
