Movie Reviews of Deep Red
Movie Review: An excellent film from Argento's giallo days
Summary: 5 Stars
If you watch Deep Red expecting the graphic violence and gore for which Dario Argento is so notorious, you'll be disappointed. Giallo films are mysteries first, with stylized bloodletting and violence shot against surreal sets and groovy soundtracks. But they are still some of his best work. There is great suspense created as the murderer draws closer, and the police even closer still. The acting is excellent, as is the cinematography, and the ending, as with all his giallo entries, is surprising and satisfying. Giallo is the first step the Italians took on their way to movies like Trauma and City of the Living Dead, and they are some of their best work. So, if the idea of a bloody Columbo-on-acid episode intrigues you, you'll love Deep Red.Movie Review: This refer's to the cut version.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved almost everything about this film. The story was interesting, the horror aspect was great, the acting was adequate. I've only seen the cut version though so am looking forward to seeing this film as originally intended. I continue to be impressed with Dario Argento's films and am happy to have found out about him (via Master's of Horror's excellent "Jenifer". I'm looking forward to viewing and owning all of his films, even "Phantom of the Opera" (though may change my mind on this one if any of those reviews are accurate).
Enjoyed the playful nature of Deep Red and the kill scenes were effective and inventive - something I'm expecting now having viewed a few of his films now. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Argento's Most Complete Film
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most frustrating aspects of watching Dario Argento's movies is the wide variance of quality between them. They can range from masterpieces to almost amateurish at times. "Deep Red" is in the former category, and I would consider it the best Argento film that I've seen. It has manages to combine comedy, suspense, and horror all quite effectively along with his trademark camera work. Like most giallos, "Deep Red" is more a murder mystery than a horror film, but unlike other giallos in which the identity of the killer is apparent to the audience early on, Argento keeps the viewer guessing until the end.Movie Review: Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a gem of a horror movie with its many moods and dimensions. The feeling of terror starts early when a clairvoyant giving a demonstration suddenly experiences a panic attack and lets out that there's a murderer in the audience. From then on, the terror takes many forms as we see glimpses of the past in an old house with a sealed room. The eerie children's singing and beautiful photography contribute towards making this more than just another horror flick. A true art movie (without being self-consciously so) but don't underestimate the sense of menace and doom that is maintained throughout.
Movie Review: profondo rosso
Summary: 5 Stars
in my opinion,this is Italian film maker,Dario Argento's best in the giallo genre.the films he made prior the supernatural stuff,are all excellent..but Deep Red takes the cake.this eerie who-dunnit, begins as a jazz pianist witnesses a murder,then decides to do a little snooping of his own,with the help of a persistent news reporter..they slowly begin to uncover the creepy truth as to who and why.chock full of murders and mystery,cool effects,and a killer soundtrack by Goblin,this movie deserves to be on any horror collectors shelf.
