It Even Has An Intriguing Story, 18 October 2005
Author:
Lechuguilla from Dallas, Texas
As with other Argento giallos, the accent in "Deep Red" is on the
visuals: the artsy sets, the garish lighting, the tendency for the
camera to dwell on brutal details. Images are stark, with high contrast
in lighting. And there's lots of visual symmetry. Emotionally, "Deep
Red" is cold, entirely appropriate, given that the theme relates to the
psychological coldness of a killer.
But unlike "Suspiria", wherein the story is almost irrelevant, "Deep
Red" has an intriguing premise, with a plot that, although slow to get
going, is nevertheless coherent, and builds to a riveting finale. I was
quite surprised at who the killer was. Clues are very subtle, but
they're there, if you know where to look. There's a nifty plot twist
toward the film's end. I like the visuals in all of the Argento films I
have seen. But "Deep Red", more than others, has a better developed
story line. As such, the film is my second favorite Argento giallo. My
personal favorite is "The Bird With The Crystal Plumage".
Weak dialogue and weak characterization permeate Argento's films. But
his fans don't seem to mind. I certainly don't. What I did find
annoying in "Deep Red" was the background music. Most viewers like the
sound of Goblin. But to me, the music was too frantic, and not really
suitable for a thriller.
There are few contemporary horror films that compare to those of Dario
Argento. His giallos are: Gothic, brutal, impressionistic, artistic,
and sometimes surreal. "Deep Red" is one of the best.

A masterpiece, depending on which version you see, 7 March 2005

DEEP RED (Profondo Rosso)
Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Techniscope)
Sound format: Mono
After witnessing the brutal murder of his psychic neighbor (Macha
Meril) by person or persons unknown, a British musician in Rome (David
Hemmings) obsesses over details of the crime and uncovers a series of
clues which lead to further bloodshed and horror.
Released in Italy at 126 minutes, Dario Argento's seminal
psycho-thriller was edited down to 105 minutes for European exhibition
and further curtailed to 100 minutes for the American market, where it
was dismissed by critics as an incoherent mess. In fact, this was
Argento's return to the giallo format following a brief - and unlikely
- detour into comedy (FIVE DAYS OF MILAN), and the first time he was
allowed to 'cut loose' and indulge his unique sensibilities. All the
elements of a classic Argento thriller are here: Eccentric
characterizations, outlandish plot twists, and a series of Grand
Guignol set-pieces that would revolutionize the genre. Using the wide,
w-i-d-e screen to create a bold visual tapestry, Argento's film thrives
on offbeat sounds and images: The child's song which pre-empts the
shocking murders; the heart-stopping moment when Hemmings glimpses
Meril at her apartment window as the killer lunges at her from behind
(a shot which is both horrific and profoundly humane, all at the same
time); the crazy-surreal mannikin which appears from nowhere and
'confronts' a potential victim; and the climactic revelation of the
killer's identity as Hemmings finds damning evidence literally staring
him in the face. Hemmings is the heart and soul of the entire picture,
an innocent abroad whose inquisitive nature fails to mask his essential
cowardice, and there are fine supporting performances by Daria
Nicolodi, Gabriele Lavia and Clara Calamai in pivotal roles.
The European print which played outside Italy is a tightly-controlled
whirlwind of horror and suspense, incorporating character development
and violence cut from the American variant. However, the complete
Italian version is another matter altogether: Except for the extra
material added to Hemmings' search of 'The House of the Screaming
Child' (where an important clue is literally concealed in the
brickwork), the additional footage simply pads proceedings to breaking
point. Whereas the characters were once defined by their experiences,
the longer print includes lengthy dialogue exchanges which ramble well
beyond their relevance to the plot. Still a masterpiece, the movie
works best at 105 minutes, though the flawed Italian edition is no less
sumptuous and invigorating.
Sadly, DEEP RED contains one of the most dubious images in Argento's
entire filmography: A shot of a lizard impaled on a needle, done for
real. This monstrous act of cruelty is inexcusable, given that Argento
had hired ace effects technician Carlo Rambaldi, previously responsible
for *simulated* animal carnage in Lucio Fulci's A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S
SKIN (1971) which was so realistic, it landed the director in court!

Brilliant Shocker!, 23 September 2000
Author:
BaronBl00d (baronbl00d@aol.com) from NC
It is a very difficult job for me to pick between this and Suspiria as Argento's best work. Both are masterpieces in their own right. Deep Red is about a man that sees a murder committed and then tries to unravel the mystery of finding the killer. David Hemmings does a fine job in the lead as he walks the streets of an Italian city in search of this homicidal killer. As with most of Argento's work, the viewer should not try to make too much sense out of the plot, but rather enjoy the rich subtext and visual tapestry with which Argento paints the screen. The killings, most notably done with a hatchet, are inventive and decidedly gruesome. More than one time I found myself jump and wince(I suppose those are good things!) The acting, even though most dubbed, is very good. The set locations are very atmospheric as well. Argento's camera, however, is the principal character as it shows us all kinds of images related to plot and otherwise and reached into our subconscience for real meaning. This is first and foremost a visual film, and it certainly shows Argento's homage to his mentor's work, the films of Mario Bava.

Symphony in red., 27 July 2005
Author:

Young generations might find it hard to believe ,but most of Argento's
works were greeted by poor receptions when they were first
released.Critics dismissed them as gaudy ,flashy,showy,you name it.
And now we are in 2005 ,and thirty years after,with hindsight ,that
most fruitful part of Agento's works which begins with "Ucello della
piume di cristalli"(1967) and ends -roughly- with "opera" (1987)shows
how the frequently demeaned director was ahead of his time.Argento's
work is art-house film!If Mario Bava or John Carpenter are,he is too.
Influenced by the former (color,lighting effects,depth of field,baroque
settings),he had a strong influence on the latter,particularly for his
use of music,which may seem trite at first listening but literally
grows on you and leaves you completely panting for breath.
There's really an Argentesque geometry,a non -Euclidean one,and few
other directors ( Alfred Hitchcock , Roman Polanski ) know how to
depict a place and make it threatening for his characters.Argento,who
certainly read Gaston Leroux ("le fantôme de l'opera" ) when he was
young,loves the opera houses(or theater)."profondo rosso" begins on a
stage where some kind of medium (Macha Meril) sees horrible
things.People who have read Hergé's adventures of Tintin will notice
the similarities between this scene and those pages in "the seven
crystal balls" where Tintin and Haddock are watching Mrs Yamilah in a
music hall."Opera" 's first scene also would take place in a theater as
if the director told us "it's only a movie,do not worry" before
treating us to the delight of the best scene with birds since
Hitchcock's eponymous movie.
The sense of space which Argento displays is mind-boggling: depth of
field,high and low angle shots,impressive lighting effects.His
characters become Tom Thumb lost in the huge forest:think of the
ballerina ,running away through the corridors ("Suspiria" ),James
Franciscus in the graveyard ("il gatto...) ,Tony Musante in the
lighthouse (Ucello ...),or Irene Miracle in the basement (Inferno).Here
it's a true anthology:almost every place is memorable,from the corridor
where the drama is resolved to the house where bad things happened long
ago ,from the isolated house in the country -where Argento uses
condensation as only a Conan Doyle,a Gaston Leroux or an Ellery Queen
could have done it- to the school where weird drawings might be the
final clue.To top it all,there's a sensational scene in a corridor
,which recalls Orson Welles' "lady from Shanghai.A "they do it with
mirrors" trick which is still very impressive today.
Not only Argento creates fear with his disturbing settings ,but he
makes us also ill-at-ease with his supporting cast:the gay with the
androgynous face,the little girl who seems to be out of Fellini's "Toby
Dammit" (1968),and of course Clara Calamai who was famous in the
fascist years (Visconti's "ossessione" from "the postman always rings
twice").
What about the screenplay?Well,like all Argento's movies I mention
,it's far-fetched and derivative ("psycho" ,"Marnie" for the final
flashback).But it's delightfully far-fetched and smartly derivative
.When today's horror flicks screenplays consist of one page (maybe
two)of clichés ,Argento's ones have always been painstaking and
labyrinthine .
It is one of the best works in Argento's much debated but absorbing
filmography.No horror movie buff can ignore him.

Simultaneously intriguing and brutal; a masterpiece of Giallo, 28 October 2004
![]()
Author:
The_Void from Beverley Hills, England
With this film, Argento raised the bar for Giallo's. With it's spanning
plot, complete with highly inventive ideas and intriguing theme;
Profondo Rosso is an absolute highlight in the sub-genre. The film
follows a female medium who, while giving a lecture, senses the
presence of a murderer in the room that is transmitting murderous
thoughts to her. Pretty soon after, she is brutally murdered by an
unknown assassin, under the watchful eye of Mark (David Hemmings); a
professional piano player. As you would expect from Giallo, Mark then
takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of the murder and, along
with a nosey female journalist (Daria Nicolodi), he conducts his own
investigation. However, things are never that simple and aside from
trying to solve the murder, he also finds himself being pursued by the
maniac...will he be able to discover the truth before it's too late?
Profondo Rosso is, in the collective eyes of the horror fanatics,
Argento's number two (Suspiria being number one). I don't actually
agree with that; as I think that Tenebre, Opera and Bird With the
Crystal Plumage belong in front of this one, but Profondo Rosso is
definitely up there, so who am I to complain? This film features a lot
more bloodshed than anything Argento had made previously, and that is
definitely a good thing. However, the plot does slow down at times, and
it's not paced as well as Bird with the Crystal Plumage is. It's also
somewhat wayward, with it spending lots of time on certain things, such
as the investigation in the haunted house, and not a lot of time on
other things that are just as important to the mystery. Despite there
being quite a few death scenes, I do feel that Argento would have been
better served either adding another one to increase the excitement, or
maybe cutting the film down a little to make it run more smoothly. The
murders that Dario does give us, however, are brutal to say the least!
We've got a woman burned to death in a bath of scolding water, another
woman smashed through a glass window, a man having his teeth smashed
against a table (not too dissimilar to the 'curb' scene in American
History X) and, of course, the final death, which has to be seen to be
believed - an amazingly over the top scenario to say the least!
David Hemmings take the lead role in Profondo Rosso, and does a very
good job of it. Hemmings is, of course, most famous for his role in
Blow-Up, and his role here isn't too different from that one. Starring
alongside Hemmings is Daria Nicolodi, the actress that has starred in a
number of Argento's films (Opera, Inferno and Tenebre to name three)
and also collaborated with Argento on another fine creation. I'm sure
you know who I'm talking about. Also getting in on the fun is Gabriele
Lavia, whom Argento fans will remember from Inferno (also, curiously,
called Carlo). Dario Argento's direction here is nothing short of
sublime. His use of the camera is more than assured and some of the
camera angles and images that are presented on screen are amazing.
Dario Argento deserves every piece of praise that he gets and anyone
that sees this film will not find it hard to see why.
Overall, Profondo Rosso ranks as an absolute must see. It's one of the
finest Giallo's ever made and is a career highlight for everyone
involved. Highly recommended viewing for all.

Plenty of red to be seen and style to savor!, 17 February 2008

Author:
AngryChair from Brentwood, USA
Thrilling giallo masterpiece is considered by many to be one of the
finest, if not the finest, films made by horror master Dario Argento.
When musician witnesses brutal murder, he joins a quirky journalist in
the hunt for a mysterious killer.
It's not hard to see why many believe this film to be Argento's
greatest and a landmark in the giallo horror genre. The film is an
engrossing murder mystery, possessing many of the elements of Argento's
great debut film The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970). Argento
throws in lots of his unique trademark style with plenty of inventive
set pieces, clever cinematography, and terrific atmosphere and imagery.
Deep Red also has some of the most horrific murder sequences of the
genre and there's plenty of gruesomeness to be had! Adding all the more
to the proceedings is the energetic music score of Goblin.
The cast is also good. David Hemmings makes for a great leading man.
Daria Nicolodi, who would later be long-time girlfriend to director
Argento, shines as the journalist. Hemmings and Nicolodi have some
nicely comical scenes together that add even more color to the film.
Also worthy of mention is Gabriele Lavia in his role as Hemmings
alcoholic friend and Macha Meril as an ill-fated psychic.
While this Argento fan still favors Suspiria (1977) as Argento's finest
film, it's easy to see why Deep Red is considered his greatest by some.
It's a terrific landmark thriller that firmly ranks as one of Argento's
best!
**** out of ****

One of Argentos Top Three, 3 March 2005
![]()
Author:
spacemonkey_fg from Puerto Rico
Title: Deep Red
Director: Dario Argento
Cast: Daria Nicolodi, David Hemmings, Gabriele Lavia, Macha Meril
Review:
Finally got around to seeing Deep Red, and I was once again pleasantly
surprised.
A very powerful female medium gets murdered after she detects a
murderer in the audience of one of her lectures on the supernatural.
After that, the murderer decides to kill the medium at their apartment.
Meanwhile Mark, a local piano player witnesses the murder while walking
down the street. He then decides to get to the bottom of things
himself.
Everything you can come to expect from Argento is here. The beautiful
colors, the insane camera angles and sadly we also get the gaps in
logic, but I'm happy to say that those gaps in logic are kept to a
minimum. Argento stylistic camera moves develop into really extreme
close-ups of things on Deep Red. He will really go in there with the
camera and go all around an object with it, he does this many many
times in the flick.
Surprisingly, this is one of Argentos most coherent stories, though mid
way through the movie you wont feel like its getting anywhere, once you
reach the third act it will all make sense (thank god!) and trust me
its well worth the wait. Its a twist ending that really got me....just
when you think the flick is over whamo! Argento smacks you in the face
with whats really going on. Loved that about Deep Red. The thing is
that if you are not patient you will feel that this will be another one
of those endings where you are left feeling unsatisfied and
dumbfounded, but no, this ending is actually very satisfying. Its one
of those films where in the last few minutes everything clicks right
into place.
I loved the scenery in this movie. Everything was lit in a very spooky
manner. My favorite being the mediums home. Its got this hallway filled
with he spookiest freaking paintings you will ever see. Add to that the
cool lighting and you've got yourself one heck of an eerie setting. And
the flick has got many of those including a house thats gigantic and
haunting...very Gothic. The shots in that house and the lighting were
awesome.
The kills are great, Argento skillfully orchestrates some nice ones on
Deep Red. Some complaint that they are not enough deaths in this movie
and I say that we could have done with at least one more. As it is we
get four kills are masterful and great, but since the movie gets a bit
slow towards the middle part, Id say that another death could have been
squeezed in there. But I ain't really complaining, cause when those
deaths come they really get you. Trust me! I also liked the imagery on
this one...lots of weird imagery to keep you unsettled. For example
there's this scene involving a mechanical doll that just looks so weird
and spooky...its stuck with me. I had to instantly rewind it. There's
some more stuff involving children's toys and drawings. Great stuff!
Image after spooky images which don't let you get too comfortable.
There's always something there you to keep you on edge, even if it is
just a visual and not an actual murder.
One other thing that sort of hindered my full enjoyment of the flick is
that since this film had been heavily edited for American audiences and
some scenes have been reintroduced into this cut of the film (the one
Anchorbay released) there are some scenes that have no English
soundtrack. Therefore the movie skips from being spoken in English to
being spoken in Italian. Back and forth constantly. I got used to it
and took it as a special challenge. Thankfully the scenes spoken in
Italian have English subtitles. Small price to pay to get the full
blown directors cut of this film if you ask me. My advice? Watch the
whole thing in Italian with English subtitles.
All in all a good and satisfying Argento flick that some herald as
Argentos true masterpiece. I thought it was quite good but for me Opera
and Suspiria are still superior.

Nearly Perfect, 2 December 2004
![]()
Author:
Nathan R-H from New York
Deep Red is not, I am sorry to say, a perfect film, no matter what some
people may try to say. This rests entirely on about half an hour or so
of footage, mostly cut in the initial American release, that simply
should never have been in the movie; most falls entirely in the
category of failed comic relief (although some of it, the arm wrestling
scene for example, is very important, and the "director's cut" is
certainly the version to watch).
The rest of the movie, on the other hand, is a masterpiece. Vaguely
similar to (but far superior than) some of the more Hitchcock-esque
work of Brian De Palma, "Deep Red" makes the intelligent choice to
forget careful narrative believability (it makes much more sense than
most "thrillers", though) and immerse the viewer completely in a
bizarre, disjointed nightmare, edged on by the audacious Goblin
soundtrack and some of the most brutally dazzling murder scenes ever
filmed (although not the goriest, exactly; I'd still advise those with
weak stomachs to stay far away), which explode from the plot-line
(which itself is really made up of an unfolding series of jagged
vignettes that finally coalesce in a jaw-dropping finale, a precursor
in many ways to David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive") every so often to
amaze us with acts of cinematic virtuosity, sort of like the songs of
an old MGM musical.
Even better than the brilliant "Suspiria","Deep Red" is the giallo film
to watch, and the ideal place to start for absolutely anyone interested
in this weirdly fascinating sub-genre. It certainly makes the last 25
years of American "thrillers" look tamely pathetic, to say the least.

Deep Red is a simply brilliant masterpiece., 12 June 2007
Author:
MaterSuspiriorum from Ireland
Profondo Rosso is really the gem among Argento'a work, a film that managed to revolutionize the giallo and at the same moment become the ultimate giallo at that. You may ask what is a giallo? Well, it is basically a genre that combines mystery and horror, so it is basically a violent triller. It is the most plausible and well written film of his career to date and is the film that introduced us to the music of Goblin, a group that has become world renowned for their work on such classics as Suspiria and Dawn of the Dead. But what is really brilliant about Profondo Rosso is that it is the first film we see Dario experiment and gain more confidence. His camera becomes more fluid and gains more movement and elegant, while the angles he chooses become more strange. He begins to pay more attention to color, submerging the film in deep reds and greens which makes this one a feast for the eyes. It is truly a beautiful film to behold, even when the killer's victims are been stabbed and whatever else. Dario in this film also pays attention to architecture. Helga Ulmann's apartment is lushly decorated in black and white marble, plants and also a star shaped table (we later learn she is Jewish so the star is in fact the Star of David). But the true masterpiece of the sets in Profondo Rosso is Dario's replica of the bar in Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. This is in a sense a homage to Edward, as is the school in the film which is called the Leonardo da Vinci. Dario incorporates the style of art nouveau into this film predominantly, which can be in seen the windows of the villa and Giordani's apartment. And I'm not forgetting the black gloves, one of Argento's trademarks. The Performances in Profondo Rosso are very good. David Hemmings and Dario Nicolodi provide great performances. Their chemistry is very evident and they are very believable. Hemmings is able to get across his character's insecurities, especially in the scene where he arm wrestles Daria's character. It is very clear that he is insecure about his masculinity, which is evident in the scene in Gianna's car where the seat breaks and drops and so it seems that Gianna has become the bigger person, much to Marcus' embarrassment. Daria puts in an excellent performance considering this was about only her third or fourth film. She definitely gets across Gianna's independence which provide the film with some comedy. Gabrile Lavia is also good as the alcoholic Carlo, clearly getting across Carlo's drunkenness with his constant movements, such as stumbling. Meril I found fantastic in the conference scene, especially when she says the line: "You have killed and you will kill again." When she revolts back it is so realistic and her hand movements really make us believe she can sense evil in the room, like as though she is feeling the presence. This is Goblin's first score and it is truly a masterpiece. The theme is brilliant and is really driving and fits the film perfectly. It is a really mesmerizing as is the infamous lullaby, a disturbing piece. Profondo Rosso is truly a brilliant piece of art. A great plot, fantastic music, breath-taking visuals, great performances and perfect direction. Not to be missed! 10/10

Simply one of the best horror films ever made..., 28 March 2007
![]()
Author:
José Luis Rivera Mendoza (jluis1984) from Mexico
In the early 70s, Italian director Dario Argento took the world by
surprise with the release of his first three movies, three excellent
entries in the "Giallo" genre that had been growing in popularity
across the 60s. In only two years, the success of "L' Uccello Dalle
Piume Di Cristallo" ("The Bird with the Crystal Plumage"), "Il Gatto a
Nove Code" ("The Cat o' Nine Tails") and "4 Mosche Di Velluto Grigio"
("Four Flies on Grey Velvet) turned Argento into the new rising star of
horror, and his "animal trilogy" into classics of the Italian thriller.
However, after this huge success he decided to move away from the
Giallo for a while, and in order to explore something different, he
made two TV dramas and a comedy named "Le Cinque Giornate" ("Five Days
in Milan"). While this offered him the chance to try something new, it
also allowed him to prepare his return to horror with what would be
known as one of the best Giallo thrillers ever made: "Profondo Rosso",
known in English as "Deep Red".
The film is the story of Marcus Daly (David Hemmings), a British piano
player who is spending some time in Italy as a music teacher. One night
after work, as he walks towards his apartment, he watches through the
building's window and notices his neighbor Helga (Macha Méril)
struggling with an unknown man. Helga, a psychic, gets brutally killed
in front of Daly's eyes, who runs towards the apartment in a futile
attempt to save her. After being interrogated by the police, Daly
notices that he could have seen the killer's face among a group of
portraits on the wall, but he can't truly figure out what's missing.
This thought becomes an obsession and Daly decides to investigate the
murder of the psychic with the help of reporter Gianna Brezzi (Daria
Nicolodi), however, his obsession becomes dangerous as he becomes the
killer's next target.
Written by Bernardino Zapponi and Dario Argento himself, the film's
plot revolves around the solving of the mystery while putting special
attention to Marcus' obsession with the missing clue he may have caught
the night of the murder. While Argento is famous for preferring
surrealism to logic when writing his screenplays, the story in
"Profondo Rosso" is carefully constructed and takes advantage of every
element of the Giallo genre to tell it's mystery. And mystery is the
key of the film, as the secret of the killer's identity is exploited to
the max in order to create wonderful set pieces of suspense and horror.
The care taken to develop the characters is another of the things that
make "Profondo Rosso" to stand out among similar films, a not only
Daly's obsessions are explored, but his relation with Gianna becomes an
interesting source of romance, some comedy, and lots of suspense.
By the time he directed "Profondo Rosso", Dario Argento was already a
master of his craft with a defined style, and the whole look of the
film demonstrates it. With his excellent visual composition and
inventive use of the camera (with cinematographer Luigi Kuveiller),
Argento shows that he knows how to build up suspense and tension in the
audience; and together with the excellent make-up by Giuliano Laurenti
and Giovanni Morosi, Argento creates some of the most amazing murder
scenes ever put to film. Giallo films are famous for making an art of
their murder scenes, and in "Profondo Rosso" Argento takes that idea to
the next level. The effective score by Giorgio Gaslini and the band
"Goblin" is the icing on the cake, as it completes the unnatural
haunting atmosphere that the whole film has.
Leading the cast is David Hemmings as Marcus Daly, in what seems to be
almost a reprisal of his role in Antonioni's 1966 film, "Blowup" (which
was another of Argento's inspirations). Hemmings is excellent in his
role, and effectively portrays Daly's own descent into darkness as he
gets more involved with the killings. Argento's regular collaborator
Daria Nicolodi stars as Gianna Brezzi (in her first work with Argento),
an interesting role because the character demands her to downplay her
beauty in favor of the awkwardness of the role. Nicolodi is charming,
and very natural, making hard to not fall in love with her character,
the typical wisecracking reporter of mystery films. The rest of the
cast includes many interesting characters (everyone is a suspect here),
and the supporting actors do a very good job. Gabriele Lavie is
specially great as Carlo, making probably the most likable character of
the film.
While definitely one of the best Giallo films ever made, "Profondo
Rosso" is not exempt of flaws, at least in my humble opinion. The most
noticeable I found was the fact that at times the plot kind of drags,
wasting too much time in details that do not advance the plot. This
makes the long runtime feel even longer than it should, and due to this
some audiences may feel the film is boring. Fortunately, this doesn't
happen too often and it's more a minor quibble than an actual flaw.
Another detail that bothered me was the bad dubbing the film has, and I
don't mean the English dubbing, the original Italian work of audio is
really bad, and diminishes the value of many of the performances due to
bad synchronization between audio and voice work.
As one of the modern masters of horror, Dario Argento's career is one
of enormous value for horror fans, and among his many works, "Profondo
Rosso" is an essential one. A remarkable work of style and technique,
"Deep Red" is a movie that simply grabs you and doesn't let you go
until it ends, making an excellent experience and a good companion
piece to Argento's follow-up, the masterpiece "Suspiria". Without a
doubt "Profondo Rosso" is one of the best murder-mystery films ever
made. A true jewel. 9/10
