Editorial Reviews

Considered by many to be horror auteur Dario Argento's finest film, Deep Red is a suprisingly complex and stunningly photographed giallo that deserves prominent display on every horror fan's shelf. After a psychic (Macha Meril) "sees" a killer's past crimes during a lecture, she is mysteriously murdered. As the unfortunate witness to her death, a musician (David Hemmings) doesn't fully understand what he saw and soon becomes dangerously obsessed with uncovering the truth. Argento's recurring interest in the unreliability of vision and memory are used to maximum effect, as characters repeatedly fail to recognize vital visual and aural clues. Similarly, Argento's characters choose to or fail to connect with others on a personal level, creating both isolation and a vulnerability to the inevitable, massively bloody murder sequence. As any fan would expect from Argento, Deep Red possesses a pulsating rhythm, striking color, and lyrical camera work. Perhaps more subtly but equally intriguing are the film's distinctively differentiated sets, which provide crucial information about those who occupy them. Anchor Bay's DVD release proves to be the definitive director's cut, providing Argento fans with a palatable video version of this cult and mainstream horror classic.
