| Italian film director, producer and screenwriter Dario Argento is best known for his work in the "giallo" horror film genre, which is a assimilation of the horror, fantastique, and erotic film genres first created by director Mario Bava. Argento not only acknowledges Bava as an influence, but also recognizes Riccardo Freda, Sergio Leone, Alfred Hitchcock, Michelangelo Antonioni, Ingmar Bergman, and Federico Fellini as influences for his films. Argento collaborated with George Romero on the 1978 zombie cult classic, [[ASIN:B0002IQNAG Dawn of the Dead]].
Argento's violent thriller, Deep Red (Profondo Rosso) (1975), has been called the best giallo ever made, and is considered by many to be Argento's best work, alongside [[ASIN:B00005ASOI Suspiria]] (1977). Deep Red tells the story of a music teacher, Marcus Daly (David Hemmings), investigating the violent murder of psychic Helga Ulmann (Macha Meril), which he witnesses. In typical Argento style, one violent murder leads to another as Daly's investigation not only puts his own life in danger, but everyone else's he comes into contact with as well. Argento uses this plot device often in his work, and it is evident in his 1982 film [[ASIN:B00000IBRJ Tenebre]], which is frequently packaged in a dual-disc set with Deep Red. The murder scenes are especially gory in Deep Red, and they are always accompanied by a jarring musical score. For instance, in one scene a female author is first stabbed in the spine, then dragged into a bathroom and drowned in a bath of scalding hot water. In another, a psychiatrist first has his face smashed against a wall, then a mantelpiece, and then a desk before he is finally killed with a knife. Some characters are chased with butcher knives, others are decapitated. Argento's Deep Red is benchmark horror, setting the standard for all other films in this genre. Truly, Deep Red is an unforgettable film. G. Merritt |
