Guess the film

“[H]is meretricious movie of seminarian grand guignol

Anyone care to guess which film R. T. Witcombe is describing here, and who the director is?

  1. Mmm... that´s a tough one...
    Lucio Fulci´s Don´t Torture a Duckling, maybe? :)

  2. Argento's "Inferno?"

  3. Right director, wrong film - which probably narrows it down enough...

  4. I was thinking Suspiria before I read these posts.

  5. It is Suspiria - the comment, admittedly made in passing, is in comparison to Bellocchio's In the Name of the Father and the lighting effects he gets using stained glass.

    Obviously Bava would be a better point of comparison there as far as the cult cinema audience is concerned, but needless to say he's not the kind of film-maker who is going to pop up in a book about the New Italian cinema...
