Movie Reviews of Deep Red
Movie Review: Wonderful Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Those who are fans of Dario Argento know that his films can be a little odd at times; this one has a little more substance than the others and I have to admit the ending is to die for - no pun intended.Movie Review: Profoundly good
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a minor classic from director Dario Argento. An excellent thriller with horror elements thrown in that make the current wave of 'torture porn' movies look decidely second rate (which most of them are).
In the leading role David Hemmings plays a pianist who witnesses a murder and starts investigating them himself. Now why he would do this I don't know, but once you allow for this artistic licence, the film moves by with great pace. Full of atmosphere, tension, odd camera angles as well as the trademark roving camera for which Argento is well know. You can still also detect the influence of Hitchcock in this film. But Argento has moved things on to a different level.
Listen out for the music score by the Italian prog rock group Goblin. They worked with Argento on a regular basis and their pounding music scores added a little extra to Argento's films.
This is the full length widescreen version. There is a shorter English version available in some countries, which is panned and scanned - do not buy this!
Argento is most famous for Suspira, which I was never a huge fan of. Buy this and 'The Bird with the crystal plumage' and in my view you'll own his two best films.
Movie Review: Very good movie...till the end
Summary: 4 Stars
Not gonna include a spoiler, but I feel they rushed the ending a bit. You never really understand the killer's motives. However, the rest of the movie is great.....with good humor and Great suspense. Dario Argento does it once again.Movie Review: early Argento thriller...
Summary: 3 Stars
while I liked "Deep Red" I think Argento has better films in his library, namely "Suspiria", and my personal favorite, "Tenebre."
having said that, this is still a good film with plenty of chills and thrills. It is shot in his usual "dark" style, with low lighting.
I think of Argento as the Hitchcock of Italian film. Enjoy this movie and his entire collection of films to get a better appreciation of the master filmmaker.
Movie Review: 2.5 stars out of 4

The Bottom Line:
A ho-hum horror film from Italian horror "master" Dario Argento, Deep Red is too long and not interesting enough to merit the 120 minutes you'd have to put aside to watch it; why not watch Blow Up instead of Argento's strange homage to it?
