Even though this is just a blood-stained shadow of Argento’s previous masterworks, the fact that he has produced something worthwhile again is a cause for celebration. Read full review

Like a steady hand holding a straight razor, Argento cuts through the story with clean swipes. Dark Glasses has little room for twists and turns; it holds nothing up its sleeve and asks little more of the viewer than to sit still and enjoy the ride. Read full review

Dark Glasses is no Suspiria or Tenebrae, but it’s also no Dracula 3D. It’s a fine movie, and sometimes, that is all you can ask for. Read full review

While it wouldn’t exactly be accurate to say that Dark Glasses was worth waiting a decade for, a world in which Argento continues working till the bitter end is preferable to one in which we don’t have movies like this at all. Read full review

The best moments of the film involve Diana’s unsentimental alliance with Chin, the orphan who offers her more protection than she’s able to afford him. Their quirkily endearing relationship allows the horror legend to dabble in a genre that’s wholly new to him: the odd couple comedy. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

Dario Argento’s return to directing after a 10-year absence has its moments of macabre and melodramatic invention. Read full review

After a brilliantly constructed opening, Dario Argento’s film gives the impression only of a giallo doodle. Read full review

I really liked this horror/thriller film. It has a very 70s vibe to it that is only enhanced by the score, costumes and cinematography.

I haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on that, but the poster immediately grabbed my attention. It's almost an exact copy of the poster for the classic John Carpenter movie "They Live" (1988).

After suffering through "Dracula (not) 3D" a few weeks ago, "Dark Glasses" surely could not get any worse than that. And to my surprise, it was pretty okay!

And to my surprise, it was pretty okay! I really liked Diana, the kid was good, the kills were good, the score was amazing and the direction was miles away from Argento's more recent efforts. Sure, you can tell this didn't have a big budget, some actors are not the very best, the plot is questionable, and the whole deal about the killer wasn't very interesting to me. The worst offender in this was the awful color saturated digital look that kind of ruined the experience a bit.… Expand
