Movie Reviews of Deep Red
Movie Review: Now this is HORROR!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Deep Red may very well be the most amazing Horror masterpeice to have ever been made in my opinion. Argento's Deep Red is the most stylized, crafted, coherent, and enjoyable movie of his career, and belongs in EVERY Horror fan's collection.
This Giallo shocker clock's in at 126 minutes and is not 1 minute too long. Giallo's are Italian murder mysteries that have amazingly well-crafted story's along the lines of Alfred Hitchcock movies, and the inventive murder scenes of a Friday 13'th movie.
The story is about a Musician who moves to Italy and happens to witness a very brOOtal murder and decides to investigate further. This story has many twists and turns, and encourages the viewer to try and guess who the killer is, and if you've seen any of Dario's other Giallo's you know he makes it almost impossible to figure out, which I find to be a real challenge and increases the replay value quite a bit.
If you were to ask me "Is this Dario's Argento's best film?" I'd say "HELL YES!" But when people ask me what my favorite Dario Argento movie is I usually say: Deep Red, Susperia, Tenebre, Inferno, Opera, Phenomena, and The Bird With the Crystal Plumige. I love them all eqaully and having to decide between them is impossible to me.
This is a great movie to order from Amazon RIGHT NOW and get it right in time for October 31'st.
Movie Review: Fantastic film... About the Blue Underground Release
Summary: 5 Stars
This has always been one of my favourite Argento's. Stylish and clever with fantastic music, a wonderful atmosphere and some stunning set pieces. It also features (unusually for an Argento film, as he's not known for his patience with actors) a truly convincing performance by the main man, David Hemmings.
The Blue Underground edition is exactly the same print of the film as the Anchor Bay release (now out of print), which means it has sections that drop into Italian dialogue (some sections the English could not be found for, and some it was never recorded for as the scenes were never included in the international versions, only the Italian cut).
Whilst it is great to see the movie complete, it is very distracting to switch randomly and without warning between Italian language with subtitles and English without.. which leads to a temptation to watch the whole movie in Italian. Whilst this is usually a good idea with Argento's films, Hemming's performance in Deep Red is so subtle and nuanced that it is a great shame to diminish it by watching it with Italian dubbing. Dilema!!!
Anyway, the film is worth owning regardless of these frustrations. If you don't have the Anchor Bay version, I highly recommend you get this one (oh, and it has a great cover too!)
Movie Review: The Perfect Giallo
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched "Deep Red" more times than any other Italian Giallo. It is the perfect giallo and Dario Argento`s crowning masterpiece. (I enjoyed it more than his supernatural hit, "Suspiria.") The action is nicely paced with imaginative death sequences performed with a great rock-n-roll score by Goblin. The characters are sympathetic and believable. The acting is good and the settings are elaborate and gorgeous. The ending is shocking. David Hemmings stars as the American pianist who witnesses the brutal hatchet murder of a psychic; Daria Nicolodi (girlfriend of Argento) stars as a reporter. The two have great chemistry as they investigate the murder.
"Deep Red" has a scene where a victim is scalded to death by hot bathtub water; it was imitated in John Carpenter`s "Halloween II." The scene where a victim is drug down the street by a truck may have been borrowed from Emilio P. Miraglia`s "The Red Queen Kills Seven Times."
"Deep Red" is the movie responsible for me getting hooked on watching Dario Argento's movies and Italian gialli in general. I have always loved mystery and suspense. If you`ve never seen one of Argento`s movies or an Italian giallo, this is a great movie with which to begin.
Movie Review: A Supreme Display On How To Make A Giallo/Horror Movie !
Summary: 5 Stars
Dario Argento's masterpiece "DEEP RED" is on a level of its own! there isn't that many movies out there that can compete with it. Not many other Directors know how to pick at your senses & nerves with a visionary & thought pounding atmosphere like Argento can & with the movie "DEEP RED" along with what in my personal opinion is the HOLY GRAIL of horror score's he displays this perfectly. The reason this movie is one of the Greatest scary movies ever made is because most horror movies, even other great masterpieces always seem to atleast have a couple of flaws,somtimes those flaws make the movie better & alot of time they make the movie worse but "DEEP RED" isn't one of those type of movies! This movie has no flaws,its flawless,its perfect,its perfectly balanced in all ways from the Directing,atmosphere & acting to the efx,setting,pick at your brain story & brilliant score! With this movie Dario Argento simpley shows us all how its supposed to be done. So if you don't have this movie yet then you can't call yourself a true fan of Italian horror! ENJOY!
Movie Review: Deep Disturbing - Terror Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of murder mystery
and scary movies,
then you must add Dario Argento's films
"Deep Red" and "Suspiria", to your collection
or risk losing your credibility.
If you do not know the work
of the master Italian film director,
imagine Alfred Hitchcock on steroids.
Enough said.
There is no point writing about this film because
you will get it, you will watch it (many times)
and you will like it.
note bene: the movie is dubbed in English,
but occasionaly is in Italian with English subtitles;
very strange, but not as bad as it may seem;
apparently parts cut from the film and then reinserted
for the uncut version were not dubbed in English.
