Trying to explain an Argento film, is like waiting for your better half when she's trying on clothes, without sighing loudly. Not easily done...

Argento's work is often both disturbing and beautiful at the same time. Deep Red is a perfect example of this. The very intricate use of camera movement, zoom, and framing. The use of mirrors and lighting. The often insane music choices. Everything has a distinct purpose, and I love it!!!

Deep Red should be on everyone's watchlist. Especially the original Italian cut. More story, more Argento goodness.

The music, atmospheres, pacing, long and close shots... it all adds to a perfect slow mystery horror. A good Argento movie. The exellent imaginative directing and very direct editing add to the impact. I think the characters and plot were OK. It wasn't very complex, but they were mystified enough to not be boring and do the job.

A true masterwork for Argento. The colors, the cinematography, the music all work on perfect harmony. With some of of the more realistic and human characters I've seen painted in horror. This is one of my favorites of his.

Argento's signature is very evident, many elements are similar to the later Suspiria (or even to Psycho). Suspiria works well because it is based on a very simple plot idea, this is a very engaging thriller, but not smooth in some passages which seem to suffer the sign of time. For instance, the musics are excellent, especially the main theme, but they seem sometimes misused. Or the plot where sometimes the character behave in illogical ways (especially the element that brings the killer identity comes almost from nowhere), and do not act always at their best.

A fantastic entry to the giallo genre. From the music to shot composition, to the use of dark space had me thoroughly enjoying the entire film. Not often does something happen in a movie that receives an audible noise from me, but by god did this have a few!

Of strong note: when seeking this one out, make sure you're getting the director's cut (126 minutes). THAT is the movie everyone's raving about. Twenty-odd years ago, I had a chance to see the original American theatrical release, which clocks in at 89 minutes.

Take a look at those two numbers and do the math, and then marvel at whatever studio exec thought that was a good idea. Avoid that 89-minute cut like the plague. It's a great example of the living definition of "incoherent".

As one of the modern masters of horror, Dario Argento's career is one of enormous value for horror fans, and among his many works, "Profondo Rosso" is an essential one.

Less visual than Suspiria, but more coherent what counts (removing the thing from the doors of the house), until they tell you who the murderer is and it is impossible that it is [spoiler]Are you telling me that an old lady entered the hall through the roof? Only 4 knew that he was going to the writer's house and the old lady was not one of them, so she could not know [/spoiler]
