Isn't this a fancy title? I thought it would go with a fancy movie, maybe along the lines of the original Solaris (so complicated I have no idea what happened in the movie, yet so slow-moving I was bored).
But no. The bird with crystal feathers is in a Dario Argento film. This film is so well known it has two discs - one for interviews alone. Please check out the interview with Dario, as he has the worst dark circles under his eyes that I have ever seen. I couldn't pay attention to what he was saying because of those bags under his eyes.
Anyway, this is a schlocky horror film with bad effects, really bad acting, almost bad everything. But the script it pretty good. You can figure it out if you want to, but I suggest you don't try. It is much more fun if you just let this unfold. Argento worked most of the time in the "Giallo" genre of horror, or Italian thrillers / horror. He influenced many directors, and if you like horror, you should check this out. I cannot say it is a good movie, but most horror is not. Maybe that is the appeal?
