Omar G Deep Red (1975). This film has good music. The fictional book of the film is given the same importance as that of other films, Fantasmi di oggi e leggende nere dell'età moderna by Amanda Righetti (1956), Of Vampires, Monstrous Ghosts, Sorcery and the Seven Deadly Sins. All Of Them Witches. Director Brian De Palma tried to imitate Hitchcock with films like Sisters (1972), Dressed to Kill (1980), Blow Out (1981) and Body Double (1984). There are some fools who said that Dario Argento imitates De Palma, come on!, for Phantom of the Paradise (1974) because he hired Jessica Harper for Suspiria (1977), but Argento imitated Hitchcock with films like The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), The Cat o' Nine Tails (1971), Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971), Deep Red (1975), Tenebrae (1982) and Do You Like Hitchcock? (2005) which were mostly better than Brian De Palma's films. There are two editions of this film, it was felt that scenes of the protagonists' relationship were missing in the international version of Deep Red and that is why Argento's Italian version is better. In Jason X (2001) the death of putting the head in liquid hydrogen was like the death in Halloween II (1981) but instead of freezing it was with heat, Myers puts a woman's head in boiling water which in turn plagiarized that death from Profondo Rosso (1975). Daria Nicolodi in the audition for Profondo Rosso went to look for Dario Argento and gave him ideas for Suspiria (1977). I wish that 1984 Mater Lachrymarum / La Terza Madre had been directed by Dario Argento, with Ania Pieroni as Mater Lachrymarum and Daria Nicolodi as herself playing the director's wife according to the script adapted for Il Gatto Nero (1989). The girl (Nicoletta Elmi) in a sequel, she was a potential psychopathic killer. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Insomniac X Despite its exalted reputation, this giallo chiller is a mostly inferior rehash of Argento's 1970 "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage." A strong opening sequence and some early thrills soon subside into a muddled mystery that struggles to maintain interest. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Ben D *We discuss Deep Red on Ep. 147 of TRM* Right when I thought “giallo” wasn’t for me, I watched Deep Red, probably the quintessential movie of the subgenre. This is one of Argento’s signature films (along with Suspiria), which captures so many of the traits associated with “giallo” movies — a mysterious gloved killer, an outsider turned amateur investigator, a Rome setting, misdirection, etc. etc. This movie is filled with color, style, and Goblin’s first score with the director. The “Nighthawks” inspired bar is excellent. There’s something about David Hemmings that endears him to this unwitting, wrong-place/wrong-time protagonist that works for him here just as much as it works for him in Blow-Up ADD SCORE. The “giallo” subgenre of the 1970s played a huge role to the “slashers” of the 1980s in America. Deep Red should be your first stop if you’re looking to dive into the “giallo” style or just something bloody and stylish for the Halloween season. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Ryan N I know “Deep Red” is supposed to be the pinnacle of giallo films but I can’t help but find it boring and poorly aged. However Daria Nicolodi is an icon, as always. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Tasos L Dario Argento's movies are unique, every single one of them. This is one of my favorites. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review babarizam D This movie is exceptionally bad both in acting and script. I think it was from an era of Horror/thriller movies and everyone wants to be part of it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
