Cinematic DNA
I’m a big fan of Argento, and obviously his giallo stuff. And it’s not just the more popular ones like Suspiria and Deep Red. I love his other stuff, like Tenebrae, Inferno, Opera. I grew up on a lot of these movies, so I felt like I just wanted to do a movie that was a love letter to that style, to that specific genre.
