Customer Reviews

LOOK.....
This was taken from video masters rather than film masters, because the film masters have been lost. Hence the less than crystal clear video presentation offered. This is still completely watchable though, and at least it is even on dvd. Quit your bitchin'. Now the shows go more for suspense than Argento's usual blood and gore but this WAS television. One can only imagine the heights Door might have scaled had this gone on for more seasons. But I for one am glad to have this at all.

SELLER BEWARE!
I had to buy this 2 disc DVD set 3 times, and the only time I got a copy with 2 discs inside was when it didn't have a hole punched in the barcode. The other two copies I bought previously DID have a hole punched in the barcode. I would strongly urge everyone to avoid purchasing this DVD with a hole punched in the barcode!

Ehhhh...
I was very excited to finally have these episodes in my hand, but I guess my expectations were a little too high. I know these were filmed for television, but they just lack the violence I would naturally be looking for in an Argento related title.

The stories are not bad, they have the writing styles of Bird With the Crystal Plumage and Cat O' Nine Tails, but they tend to drag a bit, with a lot of talking.

As for the film quality, that gets about a 3 out of 10, and I agree with the last reviewer that this dvd set should have been more in the $19.99 dollar range, if that, than the $26 bones it is priced at. The quality looks (and states before the episodes) that they are from original television video transfers, as the originals are gone. So its like watching an old vhs that has been played over and over again, only though a dvd player. Poor quality and sound.

If you are a huge Argento fan for his works in horror, this may or may not fit your needs. For me, they are decent suspense stories, but nothing more.
