DEEP RED : THE HATCHET MURDERS Review On "Violent Manaic's Cage"

DEEP RED: THE HATCHET MURDERS

ALSO KNOWN AS: Profondo Rosso, Suspiria 2, Dripping Deep Red, Sabre Tooth Tiger.

(1976, Italy)

DIRECTED BY: Dario Argento.

First off to straighten up any misunderstandings this is not Suspiria 2 although it is labeled as so. Inferno is the actual somewhat of a sequal to Suspiria. This film was made before Suspiria so use your head folks. Well what we do have here is more Argento excellence! yeah he's a strange dude but boy does he know how to make a brutal murder mystery. Once again an unknown killer is knocking off patrons it is pissed off with. Murder after grueling murder but standard slasher fare is not what you'll find here.

Masterful artistry, very intriguing mystery which doesn't unfold completely till the very end with a twist and the regular go out with a bang Argento ending. The murderer always has to have an amazing demise since Argento does love the murderers he creates in his films. The Goblin score is as always outstanding but especially in this one. Great creative piece of film excellence.

Rating: 4 Skulls
