DARIO ARGENTO’S FIRST FULL-FLEDGED MASTERPIECE… THE FILM’S MURDERS ARE GORGEOUS TO THE POINT OF DISTRACTION.” – SLANT MAGAZINE.
Directed by Dario Argento in 1975, just two years before ‘Suspiria’ brought him global fame, Deep Red set the standards by which all his future works would be judged and still remains one of his most effective, shocking and impressive works to date.
Starring David Hemmings (Barbarella; Blowup) and Daria Nicolodi (Inferno, Phenomena; Tenebrae), Deep Red is, arguably, the ultimate ‘giallo’, a tense and unsettling psychological thriller packed with the kind of camerawork and cinematic set pieces that would become Argento’s trademark.
Flesh ripped clean from the bone… and the blood runs red…
The bloody kills and red herrings come thick and fast as Dario Argento weaves a twisted web of sadistic intrigue in this classic Giallo from the genre’s golden era.
A black-gloved killer hacks a psychic to death but there was a witness…
Marcus Daly, an English pianist, rushes to the scene but he’s too late to save her. He sets out to solve the murder but at every turn the mysterious slayer strikes, cutting off each line of enquiry with acts of grisly violence, each more shocking than the last!
A surreal masterpiece from Dario Argento with a pounding score from cult prog rockers Goblin, Deep Red will leave you battered and breathless!
