    If you're a fan of Argento, then you'll enjoy Sleepless.
    It is Argento doing what he does best. Stringing you along from one grizzly murder to another. There are several very nicely shot scenes here and lots of blood and gore.
    Though the story as a whole seemed a bit "rehashe...( read more)d" and the ending, a bit predictable...I'm always willing to "hop in the car" and go for another wild ride with Mr. Argento.

    A great return to the classic "Giallo" murder mystery horror style by Dario Argento! This film had strong plot and characters, with a compelling mystery. Victims were killed in inventive animal-themed ways, making it all very interesting.
    The opening scene on the train had grea...( read more)t suspense. All the elements of a good Giallo were present: red herrings, a black-gloved killer, an Italian setting, female nudity, a detective investigation, and gorey setpiece killings with a complex motive involved. The mystery kept me guessing until the end. I highly enjoyed this new effort by Argento.

    Not for everyone (even some fans of Argento's!) but a solid, gory giallo with a great ending.

    Interesting Giallo throw back from the best. Plus the oboe murder was truly traumatizing.

    i still remember the scene on the train at the beginning of the film.

    Argentos late return to the giallo is a pretty satisfiying venture. Although knocked by alot of people for being like a "greatest hits" of Argento s. I find it to be a pretty solid film. From the opening triple murder to the ending. Sleepless is a good giallo film. Dont let the m...( read more)isleading cover art sway anyone away from this film.

    Argento back to making a giallo-type movie. Still pulling it off pretty well too.
  • January 25, 2008
    Argento manages to give us some intense moments with few gruesome scenes.Not his best giallo but enjoyable & a particularly gory one.It was good to see Max Von Sydow in this film & having a score by Goblin.
