This isn't a horror or thriller movie or anything close to it


I don't care what you call this crap, experimental, avantgarde, meta-fiction whatever this is not a horror or thriller. Not saying this is a *beep* horror movie, just that it is not, not sure why it is labeled horror

It could have been a great horror film, but at the mid-point it sails away into the ether, never to return.

Yeah, it's not a horror. More an experimental drama about the background of making an Italian giallo. Interesting but a let down when you find that out I thought.

People these days seem to think that "horror" is exclusively synonymous with "slasher". Well, it's not.

"Horror is a genre of fiction which is intended to, or has the capacity to frighten, scare, disgust, or startle their readers or viewers by inducing feelings of horror and terror."

This film failed on all fronts. So it's not a horror, psychological drama? Maybe. A surreal thriller? Maybe. Horror? In no sense, shape or form was this a horror film.

I liked it tho, it's just that the label doesn't really fit...
