Trauma (1993, USA/ITA) C-108m. SCOPE *** D: Dario Argento. Starring Christopher Rydell, Asia Argento, Laura Johnson, James Russo, Brad Dourif, Frederic Forrest, Piper Laurie. Interesting Argento concoction (the film which was supposed to establish him as a Hollywood director) about a serial killer who cuts off and keeps the heads of his victims. Bulimic Asia Argento (the filmmaker's daughter), whose parents are among those murdered, joins forces with journalist Rydell to solve the riddle of the killer's identity. A little slow and uneven but a well-directed and stylish psycho thriller, not just for Dario Argento's fans. Written and coproduced by the Italian horror maestro.
