Reviews for Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders
The inimitable David Hemmings steals much of the show, but it's Argento's trademark candy-red blood, appearing here in copious volumes, which really turns the stomach.
From a technical perspective, the film is a masterwork; considering the unexpectedly engaging narrative, praise for Deep Red is heightened.
Well worth seeing if you’re an Argento fan or a neophyte taking your first trip into the wild and wonderful world of Euro-horror.
