DEEP RED (aka PROFONDO ROSSO) (1975) d. Dario Argento (Italy)
🔪 Join us for a deep dive into Dario Argento’s haunting giallo masterpiece! 🎬 Tonight, we dissect one of the most iconic films of Italian horror cinema.
Deep Red isn’t just a slasher—it’s a symphony of style, blood, and mystery. With brutal kills, dreamlike visuals, and an unforgettable score by Goblin, Argento blends murder and art like no one else.
Join AC and his blood-loving panel of horror enthusiasts (Derek Botelho, Darren Callahan, Kristy Jett, Bryan Martinez, Larry Sternshein) as we explore the film’s themes of trauma and perception, its jaw-dropping set pieces, and how Deep Red capped the 1970s giallo heyday. Mirrors, Murders, and Music, we’re pulling apart every detail.
Whether you’re a die-hard Argento fan or new to the world of Italian horror, this discussion uncovers what makes Deep Red such a lasting influence—from its visual storytelling to its shocking final twist.
