Italian giallo maestro Dario Argento, who turned 81 last year, makes a return to form in Dark Glasses (Occhiali neri), a rather sentimental schlock horror, which that world premiered at the 2022 Berlin Film Fest.

The slasher features several stylized set-pieces and a script that rehashes the usual Argento elements — pretty girl victimized by vicious killer, incompetent Italian cops — into a movie that’s both ridiculous and endearing, capturing the Suspiria director at his softest.
