Celebrate this Halloween by delving into the world of prolific Italian master of horror, Dario Argento, and his first two directorial features, restored in terrifying 4K.
In 1970, young first-time director Dario Argento (Deep Red, Suspiria) made his indelible mark on Italian cinema with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage – a film which redefined the ‘giallo’ genre of murder-mystery thrillers and catapulted him to international stardom.
Following the success of his debut feature, distributor Titanus tasked writer/director Dario Argento with delivering a follow-up in short order.
The resulting film, granted a greatly enhanced budget and heralded in its US marketing campaign as “nine times more suspenseful” than its predecessor, was The Cat O’ Nine Tails.
Both films will feature a short introduction from Depot’s Education Manager and resident Argento fan, Anthony Gates, to provide some insight and context to the Giallo genre.
