Dario Argento's 'Deep Red' Coming to Blu-ray From Arrow Video (UK) October 5, 2015
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE REALLY SCARED!!!?
From Dario Argento, maestro of the macabre and the man behind some the greatest excursions in Italian horror ("Suspiria," "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage"), comes "Deep Red" – arguably the ultimate giallo movie.
One night, musician Marcus Daly (David Hemmings, "Blow Up"), 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 the body count increases and nothing is what it seems…
Aided by a throbbing score from regular Argento-collaborators Goblin, "Deep Red" (aka "Profondo Rosso" and The "Hatchet Murders") is a hallucinatory fever dream of a giallo punctuated by some of the most astonishing set-pieces the sub-genre has to offer.
