Deep Red

4K Restoration!

In Italian horror master Dario Argento’s crazed 1975 thriller Deep Red, an English jazz pianist living in Rome witnesses the brutal hatchet murder of a renowned psychic and is quickly drawn into the savage crime. With the help of a tenacious female reporter, the pair track a twisted trail of deranged clues and relentless violence towards a shocking climax that has ripped screams from the throats of audiences for more than 40 years! Anticipating the eerie magic of Suspiria, Deep Red finds Argento and creative partner Daria Nicolodi presenting a twisted Christmas-set slasher that perfected the classy, ultra-violent horror sub-genre that would come to be known as giallo – and also perfected Argento’s famed ability to play audience like a bloody fiddle. Filled with unforgettably horrific imagery and nightmarish set pieces, Deep Red stars David Hemmings (Blow-Up) as the increasingly unraveled hero, and features a spooky prog-rock soundtrack by Goblin that enhances the film’s dreamy mood.  (Dir. by Dario Argento, 1975, Italy, in Italian/German/Hebrew with English subtitles, 127 mins., Rated R)
