I'm not comfortable with any definition of "great cinema" that doesn't include Deep Red.

The inimitable David Hemmings steals much of the show, but it's Argento's trademark candy-red blood, appearing here in copious volumes, which really turns the stomach.

From a technical perspective, the film is a masterwork; considering the unexpectedly engaging narrative, praise for Deep Red is heightened.

Well worth seeing if you’re an Argento fan or a neophyte taking your first trip into the wild and wonderful world of Euro-horror.
