    Argento's Return to Gialli
    After about a decade of turning in less than stellar work after Opera, Dario Argento returned to the genre which made him famous in the first place and Sleepless is good enough to where there's cause for celebration. While not as ornate and interesting as his previous triumphs such as Deep Red or Tenebrae, Sleepless nevertheless has a lot to offer gialli fans.

    A killer resurfaces after years of inactivity and is attacking women in Rome based on a children's nursery rhyme and the detective on the case from all those years ago (Max Von Sydow) teams up with a traumatized young man to stop him before he can murder anyone else.

    Goblin returns to do the music score, which is one of their best scores in years and Argento showcases a little of the flair he brought to some of his more famous gialli films during the elaborate murder sequences which also have some excellent special effects work.

    The lead performances are a bit of a letdown and the script has the tendency to drag a little bit, but it's still one of the best films Argento had made for a while up until that time.
