| Dario Argento | 's original idea was that the ballet school would accommodate young girls not older 12 However the studio and producer (his father) denied his request because a film this violent involving children would be surely banned Dario Argento raised the age limit of the girls to 20 but he didn't rewrite the script, hence the naivety of the characters and the occasionally childlike dialogue He also put all the doorknobs at about the same height as the actress' heads, so that they will have to raise their arms in order to open the doors, just like children |
Terror at the Dance Academy Poor unrealised film Argento defines horror.
