Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on Dario Argento: Panico (2024): A confident blend of Documentary, focused more on tone than spectacle. With Simone Scafidi at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Dario Argento, Fiore Argento, Vittorio Cecchi Gori anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. At 1h 38m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. A respectable mid-tier entry with a couple of memorable beats. Its tagline — “Fear is for beginners.” — actually reflects the film’s intent. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
