| Of all the films Dario Argento has directed, none is as elusive as his third and final fauna-titled FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET. The reasons for this are unclear as Argento was a hot property at the time he shot the film in the summer of 1971. Released theatrically by... | | As a twenty-three-year devotee of Dario Argento, I have only seen a small fraction of the films directed by Lucio Fulci. I first became aware of his work on June 6, 1982 when I saw the trailer for THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY before a theatrical double dose of POLTERGEIST.... | | George A.

Fraternity and sorority initiation was a common theme of horror films at the time (ONE DARK NIGHT was another nifty film about the same subject), but there's no word yet on what the new film will do except port over the title and inevitably draw comparisons to the original.
