Deep Red, Profundo Rosso

This is arguably the best Argento film. The camera work in this is outstanding and the acting is tight. The plot twists and turns in typical Argento style and keeps you guessing till the end. Some very gory scenes and an excellent soundtrack by Goblin. This is one of those films that could only have been created in the mid nineteen seventies. The best horror was made before special effects were firmly established the directors had to be more creative and actually worry about things like plot and character development as well.

Argento is skilled at mixing heavy metal with horror, he does it in a way that is imitated but never duplicated. A must see for any fan of horror films.
