Legendary Italian Filmaker was commissioned to make an American movie, so off he went to make it. Trauma was the outcome.

The cast includes a who's who of familiar faces Piper Laurie from Twin Peaks & Carrie, Asia argento his daughter now a well known actress and director. And not to forget Brad Dourif from Wild Palms and the Childs Play movies in which he played Chucky.

Whilst holding an Seance a unknown assailent attacks the hosts decapitating both before making off into the night. This leaves your Aura an orphan, she has a history of psychological problems and has been in numerous hospitals. Now psychiatrist Dr. Judd is conviced she knows something about the murder. And strives to get to the truth.

Aura finds help in the form of David a journalist who she encounters shortly after the murders. He decides to help her get to the bottom of her parents murder. Meanwhile however a vicious killer is going around removing heads of hospital staff with a rather nifty device.

In typical Argento fashion, the answers are there from the first scene, but you just dont see them, look back and you will but on first viewing you just dont see them.

Trauma is not one of his greatest works, but its pretty good Viewing.

Re-rated based on Ciao's insistence that such reviews are no longer considered "Off Topic"
