The maestro retires to a renowned hotel to write his new film. Simone Scafidi takes the opportunity to interview him, his close friends, collaborators and aficionados, about his incredible filmography, its evolution and its enduring impact on the seventh art.

From Jean-Baptiste Thoret's books to the specialized press, Dario Argento's work has been recognized for its true worth, even in its most vibrant excesses. Simone Scafidi's documentary adds its weight to the edifice, suggesting in its own delicate way that not everything has necessarily been said. The chronological parade of Argento's works, while seemingly scholastic, is constantly challenged by mischievous biographical contributions, well-known but elegantly revisited anecdotes, and head-on confrontations of the most polemical aspects of his films. From the very last second, Dario Argento Panico gives you a burning desire to (re)watch the entire filmography of this master of terror.
