The beloved filmmaker took a couple of 10-year hiatus after delivering lackluster efforts within the later many years, together with 2012’s Dracula 3D. Nevertheless, he’s now again with a vengeance along with his bonkers return to type, Darkish Glasses. The fashionable Giallo follows Diana, a not too long ago blinded intercourse employee who should shield herself and Chin, her adolescent information, from a vicious serial killer stalking the streets of Rome. Darkish Glasses, which Shudder has already picked up for a fall launch date, appears like old-school Argento with a contemporary twist.
