		<description><![CDATA[The title Giallo refers, generically, to a distinctive kind of Italian horror-thriller film, of which writer-director Dario Argento has been a leading exponent since his 1970 debut The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.

As such, it’s a very self-referential title, akin to Pulp Fiction, and one which is also indicative of the film’s nature, that it is more for his fan-base in Italy and internationally than an attempt to reach a new audience.

 
The big question, even as far as this audience is concerned, is whether the film can live up to fan expectation. Or, insofar as Argento’s stock is currently at a low level in the wake of a string of poorly received films – 2004’s The Card Player, 2005’s Do You Like Hitchcock and 2007’s The Third Mother – whether it might actually surpass them for those sufficiently dedicated to find out.

Amongst mainstream critics, meanwhile, Argento’s reputation, such as it is, is that virtuoso stylist who is not particularly with narrative and characterisation, and whose work is often marred by its gratuitous violence and misogyny.

While he has tried to address these criticisms, the results as seen in the likes of 1993’s Trauma and 1996’s The Stendhal Syndrome, have ended up ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Italian director Dario Argento is widely hailed as a visionary horror director. Everyone who says this is patently wrong.

The third film in his unwanted "Three Mothers" trilogy is entitled MOTHER OF TEARS, presumably due to the incessant crying induced in the audience. The movie opens with two women opening a box containing ancient artifacts. Quickly, eveil forces are unleashed. From there, the plot is anyone's guess.



The acting, screenplay, and special effects are incomprehensibly awful. The gore, which is both cheesy looking and jaw-droppingly continuous, fails to shock or excite in any way. Unlike films such as THE EVIL DEAD, the gore effects here are so poorly integrated into the tone and editing of the film that they become boredom-inducing.

Even Udo Kier - one of the strangest personas in all of cinema - cannot liven this terribly idiotic mess. Skip this dumbass movie.

MOTHER OF TEARS IS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE AT AXEL MUSIC ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shock Till You Drop carry our first look at Giallo, the next movie from Italian horror maestro Dario Argento which is a homage to the 70's movement of the "Giallo" cinema (meaning yellow) which I always find the best way to describe as saying it was similar to the British Hammer Horror movement.

Plot then our our first look below...
The film revolves around an American flight attendant who teams with an Italian investigator to search for her missing sister who has been abducted by a serial killer known only as Yellow.
Adrien Brody plays the inspector and Emmanuelle Seigner (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) plays the flight attendant.

		<description><![CDATA[Dario Argento's film piece of his "Three Mothers" horror trilogy with Mother of Tears is already out now on DVD in the U.K. but I've just been sent this press release informing our U.S. readers that the movie is going on limited release around the country beginning in the second week of June.

I have actually yet to see the film myself (for the most part because I hadn't even realised it was out yet!) but I always enjoy a good Argento and I'm still on such an exciting high after seeing Spanish horror The Orphanage a few months back that I can't wait to see some more European horror.

		<description><![CDATA[Adrien Brody has joined Dario Argento's next movie Giallo.

The title and plot refer to the "Giallo" (meaning yellow) genre of cinema that existed in the Italian cinema of the 70's that would focus on pulp stories that were heavy amounts gore and blood with a operatic tone and slasher film whodunit plots filled with sexual eroticism. It was a little similiar to the British movement of the Hammer Horror series of films but more raw and visceral.
The film revolves around an American flight attendant who teams with an Italian investigator to search for her missing sister who has been abducted by a serial killer known only as Yellow.
I always thought Brody's withdrawn kind of acting always suited a detective/investigator. I wonder how good his Italian accent is!

Also joining the film are Emmanuelle Seigner and Elsa Pataky and The Hollywood Reporter make no mention of Vincent Gallo or Ray Liotta who Variety claim were cast in January - so it would seem they are off the flick.

Production begins May 12th. ]]></description>
