Onirica(2019)

[lftwng4]

Apparently the word "onirica" means dreamlike.  In this Italian giallo, someone is killing people using methods  directly linked to or inspired by Dario Argento films.  Argento himself is not in this, but many of his movies are referenced.  This makes for a weird blend of fiction and reality, but it doesn't interfere with the movie.  Many original sets, like the fountain in Deep Red, are used, and the filming techniques are also quite similar to Argento's.  I approached this with a lot of skepticism, after viewing the remake of "Suspiria", and the supposed giallo homage "The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears", but I was pleasantly surprised with how good this was.  It clocks in a little over 90 minutes, and it kept me mostly interested through to the end, although the end was a little weak.  The movie doesn't exactly break any new ground, but it's worth seeing if you like Argento's stuff, or giallos in general.  On Amazon Prime, with subtitles/closed caption.
