Dario Argento: An Eye For Horror
Brilliantly mixing gore, vivid colors, and twisting stories filled with black-gloved murderers and dashes of the supernatural, Dario Argento's films have combined the best of horror and art house cinema. For over thirty years Argento has produced one classic shocker after another, such as Deep Red, Suspiria, Tenebre, and Opera.
Now go behind the scenes and learn the dark secrets behind Argento's movie alchemy, including his striking rock-influenced music, groundbreaking special effects, dizzying camera work, and haunting imagery, from his early mystery masterpieces to his latest thriller, Sleepless.
Along with tantalizing clips from his films, this program features interviews with Dario Argento, John Carpenter, Alice Cooper, Keith Emerson, and actresses Jessica Harper and Piper Laurie.

Well Done Documentary! - Lady_Olwen
In my opinion Dario Argento is one of the most imaginative, creative & fascinating directors working today. He is also one of those most people have never heard of. This is the third documentary I have seen on Argento and by far it is the best. There are interviews with the maestro himself, his daughters, Daria Nicolodi (ex-girlfriend & frequent collaborator), John Carpenter, George Romeo, Tom Savini and many others. The behind the scenes footage, personal anecdotes, clips and interviews were insightful & interesting. A must for any Argento fan!Dario "Da-Man" Argento - Megasteakman
I really enjoyed this documentary, although I couldn't help but feel it was a bit repetitive and superficial. There's some great moments in it, and a plethora of movie clips, but most of the observations are fairly obvious. This is mostly nit-picking; the behind the scenes footage and personal stories were great. Dario Argento is definitely one of the more interesting figures in cinema, and definitely worthy of some attention!
