None of Argento’s prior movies insisted you take them seriously, which meant no matter how barmy things got, they still entertained. The big error here is spending the first forty minutes insisting that this is now taken very seriously indeed, because Argento’s highlighting the problems of anorexia, something that should not be considered lightly. And this means that later on when somebody is listening to words whispered by a freshly decapitated head you’ve got to try and take that seriously as well, and you can’t. Because it’s fucking stupid.
