If "erotic" means "strip tease at a seedy bar and then some 30-second sloppy sex with Meat Loaf" then this was the most erotic display since the Almighty fixed his sights on Sodom and Gomorrah.

I actually read the short story, it sucked. The uh.. film? episode? is definitely much more entertaining. Argento gets pretty dang slick here, which is when he's at his best anyway, and Meat Loaf's scenery chewing kept it over the top and had me hooked. A rare not-embarrassing entry in Dario's late canon, definitely makes up for his first MoH episode which was horrible and a low point of the otherwise excellent first season. Not at all great, this one, but it works.

After their debut in Fight Club, the tits of Meat Loaf were the leading stars of the movie this time.

Let's just say that the idea was good and leave it at that.

One of the good episodes of Masters of Horror, Argento manages to create an engaging story with some interesting moments, decent characters and a nice concept that probably some other director would have wasted. Even when absurdity comes he manages to make it work.

Top badass moment? There really isn't a single nice or worthy person or act. There're not even evil masterminds either, just a load of shallow, worthless individuals. However, there is a brief shot of a snail (sorry I don't know what species it is) crawling along. In comparison with all the humans, that's just totally hardcore badass. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations. (Unless you count all the racoons that get skinned; I imagine that involved all their heads being removed at some poin

What's worse than a Meatloaf with skin? A Meatloaf without skin!

Interesting beginning, but over done and over dramatized to the point of silliness. The possession aspect of the film was so weak and so underdeveloped that it was impossible to "believe", ergo every death scene seemed so fake / so corny!

If it seemed like Argento had a thing for putting sex and gore into his films with his first MoH episode, this confirms it on a whole other level.

Okay, I'm sorry. I don't think I "get" Dario Argento. The directing doesn't seem really that much better than 70s horror and the practical effects are almost ludicrously bad. The acting is stupid, the plot is dumb, and I was really put off with how poor it all came together. Sheesh. The biggest compliment I can give this piece is that I sat all the way through it.
