I think D.Argento in general, and his PRosso ( likewise The Bird with Cristal Feathers ) is quiet overrated by Giallo-lovers while IMO not so groundbreaking or original compared to some others 70's gialli. These have IMO more excitement,suspense, better locations or acting, and last but not least, better fetisjes, fashion, humor, or psychological insight. Some of the best, like The House With the Laughing Windows, I rated thus 10, and some mediocre examples, like this PRosso, 'only' 7.

I am a horror movie fan and i love this film so much.Dario Agento is a great filmmaker.For this generation I don't think this film would be a masterpiece. The main plot is that ,the protagonist see a psychic gets murdered and the way he investigate with the help of a reporter to find the killer. Many at times we will fall for the reporter's beauty.I like Dario Agento mixing some detective element into the plot and the way he uses long shots and subjective shots.

Similar to a lot of Argento's crime murder mysteries, Deep Red pushes the boundaries one step further with gory murder scenes and iconic deaths. Deep Red is very similar to most of Argento's films, only adding a new story, but it is a good story at that. Very engaging and also quite terrifying, the next time you see someone wear a black raincoat, you better hope they are not wielding a meat cleaver underneath it. A good Italian horror, that many will find similar to Dario Argento's other works. But if you are a fan of Argento's, horror or mystery, then this film will be for you. Don't expect the story to deviate out of the Argento template, but nonetheless you should be thoroughly engrossed for this extremely long gore fest.

I preferred Dario Argento's Phenomena and Suspiria to this, but Profondo rosso was still a driving, intriguing thriller. It has that Italian giallo charm and has a fantastical and dreamlike feel to it.The scenes are often shot in unusual angles and go on longer than you'd expect, and also the lines sometimes don't really seem to make much sense, evoking a sense of bizarre uncomfortability. By the end of the film you're completely immersed in its world.The performances are pretty good. I thought our protagonist, played by David Hemmings, was a bit wooden. The locations and the music are top notch. The film was originally shot in Italian so that's the language I recommend watching it in.By modern standards the gore scenes look pretty fake, and amusingly enough the blood itself is very brightly colored (in contrast to the film's title.)
