Deep Red (Italian: Profondo rosso) is a 1975 Italian horror-thriller directed by Dario Argento. It is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential entries in the giallo genre—a style of Italian murder mystery known for its vivid cinematography, elaborate kill sequences, and intense musical scores.
Deep Red was filmed primarily on location in Turin, Italy, over a 16-week period. Director Dario Argento chose Turin because he felt its “magical” atmosphere and reputation as a center for Satanism at the time perfectly suited his “nightmares”.
