Deep Red

VENUE: Cinema Paradiso Hollywood

From the maestro of the macabre, Dario Argento, comes a symphony of savagery and style—DEEP RED—the ultimate expression of the giallo form celebrating its 50th anniversary in a new 4K restoration.

Before the nightmarish elegance of SUSPIRIA, Argento and longtime creative partner Daria Nicolodi conjured a Christmas-set thriller that masquerades as a straightforward slasher—until it doesn’t. Within moments, it becomes clear that DEEP RED is anything but simple. It’s a labyrinth of illusion and dread, where every shadow hides a secret and every scream is orchestrated with surgical precision.

When British jazz pianist Marcus Daly (David Hemmings, BLOW-UP) witnesses a gruesome axe murder from the street below, he’s drawn into a surreal and increasingly deranged murder mystery that threatens to consume him. As Marcus plunges deeper into the investigation, reality fractures around him—truth distorts, memories mislead, and the killer is always one step ahead.

Driven by Goblin’s legendary prog-rock score—an electrifying, pulse-pounding soundscape that pulses through every frame—DEEP RED is a fever dream of voyeurism, violence, and psychological disorientation. With operatic set-pieces and razor-sharp suspense, Argento doesn’t just play the audience—he conducts them in a blood-soaked concerto of terror.
