DEEP RED

A psychic medium (Macha Méril) is brutally murdered, and musician Marcus Daly (David Hemmings) feels a need to solve the case, since he was the one who discovered the body. Working with him is reporter Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi), who hopes for a big scoop by solving the case. When one of Marcus’s own friends ends up murdered at the hands of the same killer, the resourceful pair realize they must work fast to uncover the murderer’s identity or they might serve as the maniac’s next victims.

Now considered a pitch-perfect, “must-see” classic example of the classy, ultra-violent sub-genre that would come to be known as giallo, Dario Argento’s Deep Red also includes a fantastic Goblin soundtrack: a spook-a-delic prog-rock masterpiece that beautifully complements the movie’s dreamy mood.

“Argento’s first full-fledged masterpiece, a riveting thriller whose secrets carefully unravel via carefully calibrated compositions.” — Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
