1975 film by Dario Argento
Deep Red (Italian: Profondo rosso), also known as The Hatchet Murders, is a 1975 Italian giallo film directed by Dario Argento, written by Argento and Bernardino Zapponi, and starring David Hemmings, Daria Nicolodi, Gabriele Lavia, Macha Méril, and Clara Calamai. It follows a jazz musician (Hemmings) who investigates a series of murders performed by a mysterious figure wearing black leather gloves. The film's score was composed and performed by Goblin, the first in a long-running collaboration with Argento.
The film was released during the height of the "giallo craze" of Italian popular cinema, and was a critical and commercial success. Retrospective reviews have been equally positive, and Deep Red is considered one of the genre's definitive entries, as well as one of Argento's finest works.
