Dario Argento — the wonderfully deranged Italian horror maestro behind genre-defining classics like Suspiria, Tenebrae, and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage — brings us what many fans consider his greatest work, and the ultimate giallo film: Deep Red. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, this special late-evening screening on Halloween night
Late one evening, while wandering the streets of Rome, English jazz pianist Marcus Daly (David Hemmings — Blow-Up, Gladiator) witnesses a brutal axe murder through the window of a high-rise apartment. Rushing to the scene in an attempt to catch the killer, Marcus finds he’s already too late… or is he? What unfolds is a deliciously twisted mystery that draws both Marcus and eccentric journalist Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi) into a surreal web of murder, memory, and misdirection.
Deep Red is a hyper-stylised noir drenched in Argento’s signature aesthetic — with arguably the most dazzling cinematography of his entire career, all underscored by a pulsing, prog-rock soundtrack from his legendary collaborators, Goblin. Released at the height of Italy’s giallo craze — a movement defined by stylish, violent murder mysteries — Deep Red features some of the most inventive and shocking set-pieces in all of horror cinema. While Suspiria (made directly after this) may be Argento’s most famous film, Deep Red, presented here in a gorgeous new 4K restoration of it’s full length original cut, is widely considered his crowning achievement, where his cinematic trademarks are at their most refined and ferociously imaginative.
Join us for this terrifying late-night screening — or make a full night of it with a discounted joint ticket for our earlier showing of Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak, for a Halloween double bill soaked in blood-red horror and lavish, scarlet-tinged spookiness.
