    This was beautiful. It must be a strange experience, being a child of a great director, and following the very same genre. Do you go pretty much the same route, or try something vastly different?

    The Italian horror movies of the 80s was a genre in itself, could be violent giallos, or supernatural horror, or cannibal movies, at the time we were really both horrified but also mesmerised. With a simple story, Argento (story) and Bava (director) have people going to see a movie about demons and the demons come to life. But it's done well as a woman gets her face scratched by a mask and the same thing happens in t…
