Maestro Dario Argento carries us with him.

The iconic Italian Master of Horror, Dario Argento with his personal copy of my slasher-movie: RED VELVET, seen at the Los Angeles Weekend Of Horrors. Having intended the movie to be partly homage to the great man, it's been so gratifying to hear that he likes it!

Maestro Argento lugs our baby around...

Hope you'll have a look at RED VELVET. It's quite an accomplishment. There are actually some dumb folks bad-mouthing the movie for purely personal reasons and we need to counter their petty negativity with legitimate reviews of the movie based on its merits! Smart people unite! Don't let the dullards win! Thanks!!

A nod to Red Velvet from Argento himself!

Henry Thomas and the Red Velvet Maniac!

"I enjoy with red velvet is a good work also for you producer. I hope a day to meet you all best - dario argento"

Dario Argento, undisputed Maestro of Italian horror, likes my movie RED VELVET! So much so that he sent a personal e-mail (quoted above) to my dear friend and RV producer Sean Fernald, saying so! This was an incredible validation for our creative team, as we'd hoped to pay homage to the master in our visual design of the movie. SUSPIRIA was a very big influence on our lighting design and color palette, not to mention some of the surreal elements we went for.

Not that our cake needs more frosting, but if we were to indulge, the icing on the cake is that the gracious Argento biographer and film reviewer Maitland McDonagh is also in our corner. You can read her comments and columns here at: MISS FLICKCHICK! If you haven't seen our movie, what are you waiting for? We made it just for YOU! Order your DVD or BluRay copy here: RED VELVET.
