Details Announced for Dario Argento's giallo classic, "Profondo Rosso"
Arrow Video has revealed news of the full specs and artwork for their upcoming release of horror maestro Dario Argento's "Deep Red." This will be a Region B locked and limited to 3000 copies. Here's what they had to say about the release.
"As you may already be aware, we’ve been working on the new 4K restoration for this title. Sadly this work has been hit with a few delays. These delay comes from various factors including re-cutting the short version from the 4K master. With this in mind, this title will now be released on December 7th. On a more positive note, we are pleased to finally reveal the brand new art by Gilles Vranckx and the full specs which are as follows:"
