Well, Ikeda might never have seen an Argento film (he said he hated horror -
they scared him!), but it is quite clear that his cameraman and musician
did! Not that Ikeda is the most reliable source when talking about his own
films though...

Thanks very much for the link Jason - that really cleared up a few
confusions in my mind.

> He did indeed say that. However, there's plenty of Argento's stylistic
touches in the film that could have come through Ishii's script- the
black-gloved killer, the complex methods of murder, the prolonged depictions
of feminine terror, the graphic violence, for example. The score is
certainly reminiscent of Goblin's work on TENEBRE.   &nbsp;  I think it's
worth mentioning that some similitarities in style between Ikeda and Argento
were evident before EVIL DEAD TRAP, in his early pink films. Perhaps this is
a product of a shared influence? Ikeda is very fond of Bertolucci for
example, and so is Argento (they wrote the story for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE
WEST together).  &nbsp;  Jim Harper.Jason Gray
