5.0 out of 5 starsRetinal Scan...
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein TOP 1000 REVIEWER on March 28, 2011
Format: DVD-R
I spent years telling myself that "One day, I'll watch all of Argento's movies!". Well, up until recently, I'd only seen DEEP RED, TENEBRE, PHENOMENA, and SUSPIRIA. A few weeks ago, I watched INFERNO and BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, leading me to finally see FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET. I must say that FLIES is superb, even w/ it's sometimes-goofy characters and lifeless leading man. Argento is indeed a genius of suspense, mystery, and horror, using symbols and colors to paint his gloriously bizarre pictures. The scene of the victim entering the tight, labyrinthine passageway is brilliant! We feel her desperation and doom! If you love Argento giallos, then this one is a must...

4.0 out of 5 starsEarly Argento, and it's well worth the wait...
By C. Christopher Blackshere on March 22, 2009
Format: DVD-R
Well alrighty! It took almost 4 decades to catch 4 Flies, but here it is! This is a very solid conclusion to Argento's Animal trilogy. It just might be my favorite of the three.

Roberto is an up-and-coming musician. One night he confronts a stranger that had apparently been stalking him. There's a bit of a struggle, an accidental murder, and someone watching with a camera. Ohhh snap, let the mind games begin....

FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET is classic Argento stuff--atmospheric, suspenseful, clever camera shots, dark humor, creepy music, plus some stylistic, high-impact violence & blood splatter. It all builds up into one heckuva interesting and layered giallo like only Dario can deliver.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot Argento's best work, but still one of the best giallo films ever made
By Channel KDK12 on November 15, 2010
Format: DVD-R
When Roberto Tobias believes he has killed a man, he becomes the target of a complex blackmail plot, made more complex by the existence of a real killer who is murdering everyone who gets close to the truth. Dreams, con-games, and reality mix in this early Argento giallo that shows many of the hallmarks that would become Argento signatures, but which also falters in places. Not as strong as Deep Red or The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Four Flies is still one of the best giallo films ever made, and well worth seeing.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot the best of the Argento animal trilogy but still very good w/a great transfer
By D. Steigman on February 25, 2009
Format: DVD-R Verified Purchase
Throw away your DVD-R copies and other lousy DVD or VHS prints. MYA Communications has put out a beautiful restored widescreen transfer of Four Flies on Grey Velvet. English language until the end where the restored scenes are in English subtitles. This one has a man who being tormented because he accidentally killed a man who was following him. When a few people start to figure out who the person that is tormenting Roberto (Michael Brandon) is, they get killed - in light-moderate gory ways. This one is easy to figure out who the killer is. There arent really a lot of red herrings in this one. It is a very good movie but to me it is still the least of the animal trilogy (Cat O Nine Tails and Bird with the Crystal Plumage). I just found the characters to be a little weaker and the fact that the killer wasnt hard to figure out. There are a few genuinely creepy moments in this - a great scene where a lady is trapped in her home and you know she's going to get it, there is no music as she quietly tries to hide. I am saying a lady here and avoiding trying to not be a spoiler reviewer here. What I will say that whoever you think the killer is verified with this scene. It just became too obvious.
This movie isnt overly gory ala Suspiria or Deep Red. There is some gore, but nothing really super graphically gory.
This movie is worth owning because it really is well done even though I personally like his other ones better,but Four Flies is a superior effort compared to Stendhal Syndrome, Phantom of the Opera and Dario Argento's more recent movies. In my opinion his older movies are just superior and he is worthy of being called the Italian Hitchcock.

If you want to complete your Argento "Animal Trilogy" or if you just like stylish giallo-cinema, look no further. This release is Quality, with a capital Q. This release might as well be Blue Underground. Picture and sound perfection. A great release for a great film.

4.0 out of 5 starsWorth Owning if you Are an Argento Fan, But...
By Robert W. Gomez on April 26, 2009
Format: DVD-R Verified Purchase
Four Flies ranks somewhere in the middle of Argento's films. Way better than is 90s era stuff like Trauma, but not quite on par with Suspiria or Deep Red. Still I'd recommend it to anyone who is is even mildly an Argento fan.

I have mixed feelings about this DVD. The picture quality is great, and, let's face it, the visuals are really the main attraction in any Argento film. There is an ugly black line across the screen during the climax, but, after checking the video on some of the bootleg copies that are floating around the 'net, this appears to be part of the source film?

Also, the sound quality is poor but passable. Basically, the audio is crackly, like an old, dusty vinyl LP. Often it is too quiet and you'll be leaning in to your TV trying to hear the dialogue or the wonderful Ennio Morricone score.

Fans will still have to wait for the perfect DVD of 4 Flies, but, for the time being, this version will do fine.

2.0 out of 5 starsThin stuff for the faithful - and a poor DVD transfer
By Trevor Willsmer TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 20, 2010
Format: DVD-R
Long lost in a prolonged rights battle and unseen for years, Dario Argento's Four Flies On Grey Velvet may come from his most consistently inspired period but it's still such thin and often tedious stuff you'd half suspect he was keeping it hidden himself out of embarrassment until you realize that he's happy enough for the far worse Phantom of the Opera and The Card Player to still be out there. The chief problem is the disjointed and unconvincing plotting, but Michael Brandon's insipid performance as the unlikeable and uninterestingly passive musician being blackmailed after accidentally killing someone shows up just how rickety this one is without a charismatic or proactive figure to hold it together. It's not without its compensations and a couple of striking pieces of imagery - a recurring sequence of a Saudi execution and an ultra-slow motion car crash - although Argento seems to be expending far more energy and visual flair into purely expositionary shots like letters being delivered or phone calls being made than the surprisingly few setpieces. Too often he relies on cheap gimmickry, be it Jean-Pierre Marielle's camp gay private eye ("Oh, you heterosexuals!") who has never solved a case or the old `image caught on dead person's retina' plot device, while the main character treads water. The less said about the clumsy comedy (much of which comes from brutally beating an Arab postman), the better. There's an appealing performance from Francine Racette that partially offsets Mimsy Farmer's hysterical overacting and a cameo from Bud Spencer that briefly threatens to liven things up but it's far more forgettable than it has any right to be in that unwelcome I-think-I'm-dropping-off-to-sleep kind of way.Read more ›
