Summary: More like " Deep Sleep "
Review: Masterpiece? Of what, boredom? Wow, after all the positive comments I've seen about this movie on websites, you'd think it was the be-all end-all of horror films. What a complete joke! This film is hideous! It will put you on the edge of your seat, and most likely won't keep you from getting right off it to turn the DVD player off. A ridiculous plot played out at a dead snail's pace, wooden characters, a disaster of an audio track which can't stay in one language, characters you hope will die, bad editing, a soundtrack that sounds like a garage-band version of Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, nonsensical scenes, the list could go on forever. If you make it through the whole 126 minutes, you'll be left to scratch your head and wonder why you bothered. It's not scary, it's not stylish, it's not in the least bit suspenseful. It's a borefest, and will have you snoring quickly. If this is Dario Argento's best work, then it can be used as a deep red flag to avoid everything he's done. Horrible.

Summary: argento rules!!
Review: one of the best thrillers i've seen.short and sweet: argento proves to be a master of the entire audio/visual experience. rich saturated colors, mood setting and then mind shattering music, plus above-par acting performances (for italian horror films) make this dvd a winner in my book. the scene where the professor gets it is awesome!

Summary: An strong sytlish Suspense-Thriller.
Review: An english Jazz Pianist (David Hemmings) living in Rome. He witness a murder of a renowned Pyschic and he qucikly drawn into the savage crime with the help of a Female Reporter (Daria Nicoldi), the pair track down a bizzare twisted trail of Murders and Deranged clues and the relentless violence towards them. This film has a good lead performance by Hemmings. Cleverly directed by Dario Argento (Suspiria, Phenomena). The film is not for all tastes. Creepy music score by Giorgio Gaslini and The Golbins. Technovision. Grade:B+.

Summary: visual masterpiece
Review: Okay, let me start off by saying that I was expecting to be utterly terrified by this movie, and I wasn't. I think that has a lot to do with Goblin's score. I'm sorry, but what was Dario thinking? Rock-sounding music does not increase the scariness of any of his scenes. It detracts from it. If there was some truly scary music playing in this film the scare scenes would be ten times more effective, because visually they are brilliant. That is why I cannot give this film five stars. I really like it, and will eventually own it, for its visuals and the visceral imagery of violence, which despite the music is still unsettling. I guess that Italian horror audiences expect that kind of music, but after growing up on Psycho and seeing how horrifying music can make a film, Deep Red's music let me down. Other than that, it is a wonderfully constructed giallo, with some of the best camera work and set pieces I've seen in an Argento film.

Summary: Blown away !!!!
Review: This movie blew me away!!!! This and another of Argento's films, Suspiria, have made him my all time favorite director. This film is excellent. Great plot twists, scenery, set-pieces, and acting. Okay so not all the acting is great especially some of the minor roles, but I thought the lead characters, played by David Hemmings and Daria Nicolodi, were great. Overall this is a great horror/mystery film. It is probably the best giallo ever made. The dvd has excellent picture and sound, and some great special features. Don't miss this movie!

Summary: An Argento Masterpiece!
Review: Deep Red is one of Dario's best work. When a pianist (David Hemmings) witnesses a psychic's murder he tries to find out who the killer is. The closer he gets to the answer the more the suspense builds, until it peaks at the twisted ending. Featuring an intense soundtrack which topped the italian charts for 12 weeks, a terrifying mansion as one of the main settings, and some of Argento's best sequences. This film is worth the time. The DVD is the original director's cut, and features an interview with Goblin, as well as Dario Argento.

Summary: Not that great and some senseless animal cruelty
Review: Although a decent horror movie with more excellent camera-work, compared to Tenebre, this was pretty weak. Plus, there were two scenes of animal cruelty that just lowered it for NO REASON.

Summary: Somewhat disapointed
Review: Being a true lover of B-horror movies,i felt a bit let down. My friend highly recommened it. Was hard to follow. Stupit of me,not setting it on English subtiltes. Going back and forth made me crazy. It just got old afer awhile. However,loved the overacting,esp. of the psychic. That bath tub scene was horrifing. But what i really loved watching was the beautiful settings,and superb cinamatographry. Maybe i'll give it another chance.

Summary: The Scariest Movie I've Ever Seen
Review: Directed by Dario Argento, Deep Red is the scariest movie I've ever seen. The terrifying atmosphere is created by Argento's use of an incredible soundtrack (music by Goblin) and fabulous art direction. There were many scenes in the movie where I could have paused the film just to stare at the beautiful scene in front of me, but I didn't because I was glued to my seat and too frightened to stand up! It doesn't matter that it jumps from dubbing to subtitles (after two or three times you will adjust to this) because the story flows superbly and the plot uses a mix of humour, terror and suspense to make this THE BEST HORROR MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

Summary: Excellent Cinema Treat
Review: My five stars is for the movie itself and not necessarily for the quality of picture and sound (DVD). This movie is truly a suspense thriller and I am wondering how much more shocking and thrilling it would have been to see it in 1980 or better yet, 1975 (theatrical release). Let's see, "Deep Red" was originally released in 1975 but then I've also seen January 1980. Would 1980 be the U.S. release date? I don't know. "Suspiria" was released January 1977. "Deep Red" seems to be like the older, more mature picture. The release dates confused me because I couldn't believe "Deep Red" came after "Suspiria". Regarding the lost English dialogue: The subtitles and switch back + forth didn't really bother me. What was more shocking was the great change in the voices. In some ways, the Italian voices seemed more natural -- it depends on the characters. For example, there is a police detective that eats a sandwich, talks, and laughs simultaneously and that voice is better and quite humorous compared to his English-dubbed voice. I have not listened to the straight-Italian version yet. Some of the voice changes seem seamless. It shouldn't affect your enjoyment of the movie. Most likely, I will listen to Italian dialogue after I've viewed the DVD a few more times with the English/Italian soundtrack. I was pleased to see Daria Nicolodi acting. My first exposure to her was in the 25-year-anniversary special for "Suspiria". Of course, she is 25 years older in that special. This DVD has some great music again by Goblin but it is different, possibly to keep with a jazz theme. Some louder portions <of music> and screams have distortion. If you are an Argento fan, you must add this one to your collection. Now I am craving additional Argento movies on DVD.
