Film Deep Red (1975)

  • Deepredfilmposter_large

Two years before Suspiria, Italian horror maestro Dario Argento directed Deep Red, his first great giallo shocker. When a psychic gets TMI from a serial killer and ends up DOA, witness David Hemmings (Blow-Up) is thrust into the murderer's gruesome vortex. (Be warned: this isn't blood-pellet gruesome — we're talking extensive decapitations here.) Argento's opulent set pieces and balletic camera work just make it harder to look away. But if your gag reflex is up to it, Argento rewards your determination with Polanski-style claustrophobia and the most Hitchcock references this side of De Palma. Style and wit do reside in those buckets of blood.
