Luca Guadagnino

A tepid romance. Some very annoying characters spend their summer vacation in Italy, boy falls in love with friend of the family and that's about it. The setting didn't really do it for me, Guadagnino's direction is pretty plain and the romance could've used some extra sparks. And of course it doesn't help that the film crosses the two-hour mark.

Atrocious remake of Argento's cult classic. Gone is the extravagant styling, Guadagnino opts for drab and lifeless colors, an incomprehensible focus on plot and some cheap giallo nods. But worst of all is that the horror elements are completely laughable, embarrassing even. One of the worst remakes ever.
