The official Dario Argento Panico synopsis: “In the secluded ambiance of hotel rooms, Dario Argento crafted his greatest cinematic creations, seeking solace from the outside world to delve into his nightmares. Now, he finds himself in a hotel room to return to the very setting that ignited his creative fervor to conclude his latest script and participate in an intimate interview, all while being followed by a film crew documenting his life for a movie about his illustrious career.”
Simone Scadfi directs the documentary feature. Scadfi also helmed the 2019 Lucio Fulci biopic Fulci for Fake.
Look for exclusive interviews with Dario Argento himself, Asia Argento, Guillermo del Toro, Franco Ferrini, Gaspar Noé, Nicolas Winding Refn, and more.
Known as the Master of Thrill and a Master of Horror, Argento made his directorial debut in 1970 and has since developed a reputation for graphic shocks and intense visual atmospheres. Argento has left an indelible mark on the genre, so it’s about time a documentary spotlighted his enduring career.

The program will feature the U.S. premiere of Dario Argento Panico, along with screenings of Suspiria, Inferno, Deep Red, Tenebrae, and more.
