TRAUMA by Dario Argento.
Decapitation of paper dolls ,the sound of sheering
crouds and drums.
From out of nowhere a dark figure approches and
another decapitation accurs,
first a blow to the spine leaving the terrified lady
paralysed. You can se the terror in her eyes, helplesly
she awaits execution. Death comes....
Aura an anorexic Young lady eaten by drugs decides to
end her life. She is saved in the last second by
David Parson.
When he is bying her breakfast
she gets sick and goes to the toilet and throws up.
She spots some men from the youth services and runs
out and is soon picked up by the men and she is taken back
to her parents home. Seance time at her mothers place,
somethings happen and her parents are dead.
David takes Aura in and a chase to catch the killer
has begun!
a lot of heads will fall before the killer is cought.
In true Argento feeling dario gives us the audiance
a fraud making us belive that everythin happens as
we think it did, the evidence is clearly layd out
for us to see. but we are all to blind to belive it.
The Maistro is realy good at this when say this i
refer to "Profondo Rosso" one of Darios best films.
Im not sure why the crittics didnt like this film!?
I think that it realy is a traditional Dario Argento
movie. Asia plays the role of Aura so well its
frightning. And all the elements of a good Italian
thriller is there...
I give this film the highest recomandation and i hope
that you will se this film and realise that the crittics
that didnt like is must have seen some other film.
