Dark Glasses Review: Dario Argento Returns With a Messy Throwback

It's funny how horror directors seem to be the only kind of auteur who doesn't age well. Many of the great filmmakers age into a deeper brilliance (Terrence Malick, Luis Bunuel, Ingmar Bergman, the ingenious Jean-Luc Godard, the list is endless), like the proverbial 'fine wine,' but horror directors are more like bread — the octogenarians are mostly moldy. Legendary icons of the genre, from Wes Craven and Tobe Hooper to the practically disappeared John Carpenter, have only worsened in age with sparse exceptions.
