Dario Argento: Panico (2023). 1h 38m

“Known as the u0026quot;Master of Thrillu0026quot;, Italian filmmaker Dario Argento boasts a long and complex career. The Shudder original Dario Argento: Panico documentary takes a look at highlights from Argentou0026#39;s filmography by interviewing the Master of Horror himself along with other talking head contemporaries. For those that might only be familiar with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) or Suspiria (1977), Panico is a suitable overview with Argento himself acting as a grandfatherly host. For true Argento fans, Panico has all the substance of a featurette buried on disc 2 of the Opera collectoru0026#39;s edition Blu-Ray.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDario Argento: Panico provides a totally-fine overview of the auteuru0026#39;s work that pairs nicely with salt-cured prosciutto and a glass of Sangiovese chianti. But what would have worked spectacularly would have been if that Italian hotel was haunted… instead of Argentou0026#39;s tired eyes.”
