Deep Red (1975) Dario Argento – Best Foreign Horror Movies

A brand new video series has just made its debut on the JoBlo Horror Videos YouTube channel, and this one is all about taking a look at the Best Foreign Horror Movies! Appropriately, the series kicks off with an episode dedicated to a film by one of the most popular genre filmmakers from Italy, Dario Argento. In the video embedded below, we dig into Argento’s 1975 classic Deep Red! (Also known as Profondo Rosso or The Hatchet Murders.)

Scripted by Argento and Bernardino Zapponi, Deep Red has the following synopsis:

A psychic medium is brutally murdered, and musician Marcus Daly feels a need to solve the case, since he was the one who discovered the body. Working with him is reporter Gianna Brezzi, who hopes for a big scoop by solving the case. When one of Marcus’s own friends ends up murdered at the hands of the same killer, the resourceful pair realize they must work fast to uncover the murderer’s identity or they might serve as the maniac’s next victims.

David Hemmings, Daria Nicolodi, Gabriele Lavia, Macha Méril, and Clara Calamai star.

The Best Foreign Horror Movies series is

dedicated to highlighting horror films from outside North American that carry lots of punch, bite, scares or/and stabs! Hop on and enjoy the horror ride around the world.
