I'm a huge Dario Argento fan, but like most of his fans, have been very disappointed by his post-1987 work, which ranges from mediocre to abysmal. This film, finally available in its uncut form at 106 minutes (most VHS version ran around 86 minutes) and widescreen, is a lot better than almost all of Argento's work after 1987. It isn't perfect, but it's very watchable and quite extraordinary at times.
This was Argento's first foray into American filmmaking, and while that could have ... Read More

Dario Argento directed "Trauma" as well as the masterpiece "Deep Red," one of the most superior Italian gialli ever made. The most gruesome scene in "Deep Red" is the slow decapitation death of the serial killer when a chain is slowly pulled through his/her neck. This scene is repeated many times in "Trauma" when the black-gloved killer, known in the newspapers as "The Headhunter," leisurely decapitates his/her victims with mechanically operated piano wire. What is the connection between the ... Read More

I feel very indifferent about "Trauma". It's not a great movie, but it's also not so bad that I feel like ripping it apart for 300 words. "Trauma" was made after, what is considered by many to be, the peak period of Dario Argento's career (the period between "Deep Red" and "Opera", which also includes "Suspiria", "Phenomenon" and "Tenebrae" - let's just pretend that "Inferno" doesn't exist), and is the beginning of a period of films that are not so much bad, as simply inferior to their great predecessors. ...

My four star rating is only in comparison to Argentos previous work, this still destroy's mostly anything else that does'nt have Agento's name on it. Trauma walks a fine line between 'classic' Argento and a failure to live up to his previous standards. If you compare it shot-by-shot (like I have) to his best work it's really not that far off, but as a whole it doesn't come close to film's like Suspiria, Tenebre, Deep Red, Opera ect. While it does'nt reach the level of those film's those are pretty high standards, ... Read More

Dario Argento's first US feature, Trauma, is a film I'd like to like more, partially because it's obviously so personal for Argento but largely because it's depressing to see how ineffectual most of his later films are. In many ways this feels like the work of an overambitious newbie rather than an experienced director: shots seem clumsily timed, performance styles are all over the place and the script is an undisciplined mess of good and bad ideas. Partially inspired by his stepdaughter's anorexia (she can be seen ... Read More
