ROME (Hollywood Reporter) - Italian horror director Dario Argento will make his English-language debut next month with a slasher movie starring his filmmaker daughter Asia, along with Ray Liotta and Vincent Gallo.

The film will be called "Giallo" -- Italian for "yellow," local slang for the thriller genre. It will shoot in Turin, the local film commission said Wednesday. Gallo plays a serial killer with a taste for attractive women. Liotta plays the solitary detective on his trail.

Argento, 67, is best known for such cult classics as 1977's "Suspiria" and "Inferno" from 1980.
