Whilst I haven't written a lazy Sunday movie blog for a couple of weeks there has been a reason for this, to put it simply I've been too busy to write one. This weeks entry is Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) by one of the true masters of cinema; Dario Argento. I purchased this movie at a car boot sale a few weeks ago on the advice of a seller whom I bought other horror movies from. I admit it, I am no expert on Argentos work. I know some of the more well known works such as Suspiria and I had to do a bit of research on the film before I watched it.
Starring David Hemmings (The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen) in an earlier role the movie is in Italian with English subtitles. The story follows Mark Daly (Hemmings) as he tries to solve the mysterious killings, one of which he witnesses, around the city of Turin. Along with journalist Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi) he delves deeper into a dark past for someone who continues to kill. Featuring a beautiful score by French progressive band Goblin, the movie features some iconic Argento blood and gore. This is a brilliant masterpiece of a film. There are several versions of the film, most recently there was a blu ray version featuring the original cut of the film and the fabled version with 26 additional minutes of footage added in that Argento deemed unnecessary to the original version.
As with every film I review on this website I would urge any horror movie fan to check out this classic:
