The Stendhal Syndrome
Directed by Dario Argento
A detective suffers strange hallucinations while hunting a serial killer in Dario Argento’s bone-chilling ‘90s masterpiece. Anna (Asia Argento) is on the trail of a psycho when she experiences Stendhal syndrome, a condition that causes people to become overwhelmed by works of art to the point of psychosis. But when the killer kidnaps and rapes her, it begins a process that threatens all who cross Anna’s path. Using CGI to bring Anna’s artistic hallucinations to life, Argento crafts a brutal yet visually stunning thriller that stands on par with his classics. Contains strong language, violence and gore.

Now I know where "Super Mario 64" drew inspiration from!!!😂🤣
If you've never seen an Argento film, please don't start with this one. Those who've spent time with the master will probably get a lot more out of the experience. ...Can you imagine directing your daughter in something like this?
Nope
First time seeing this before this I have seen demons from Argento which was great. Going into this was expecting something weird for sure but I thought it was alright just unnecessary with the assaults I guess but what are you gonna do. The haunting scenes are done fine and it definitely will leave an impression on me so there is something to be said for that.
Definitely better than Trauma. The cgi was a bit silly at points but definitely not a bad movie. I liked Argento exploring the effects of sexual violence on the mind, because its sure inflicted a lot in his movies
