2h 7m
Directed by Dario Argento • 1975 • Italy
Starring David Hemmings, Daria Nicolodi, Gabriele Lavia
From Dario Argento, maestro of the macabre and the man behind some of the defining works of Italian horror, comes DEEP RED—the ultimate giallo movie. One night, musician Marcus Daly (BLOW-UP’s David Hemmings), looking up from the street below, witnesses the brutal axe murder of a woman in her apartment. Racing to the scene, Marcus just manages to miss the perpetrator . . . or does he? As he takes on the role of amateur sleuth, Marcus finds himself ensnared in a bizarre web of murder and mystery where nothing is what it seems. Aided by a throbbing score from regular Argento collaborators Goblin, DEEP RED is a hallucinatory fever dream of a giallo punctuated by some of the most astonishing set pieces the subgenre has to offer.
