For late period Argento, this is a pretty good movie -- the best since (in my opinion) the really excellent Sleepless with Max von Sydow. Although I am not about to compare it to Argento's best work of the '70s and '80s, or even divisive '90s work like Trauma or The Stendhal Syndrome, I think it's a perfectly enjoyable thriller that is surprisingly poignant; the last shot made me very sad.
