Deep Red

Director: Dario Argento
Actors: David Hemmings, Daria Nicolodi, Gabriele Lavia
PlotA British jazz pianist, Marcus Daly, living in Rome witnesses the brutal murder of a renowned psychic who had, earlier that evening at a lecture, sensed a presence linked to a past murder. Traumatized by what he has seen, Daly becomes obsessional about solving the crime. With the help of Gianna Brezzi, an indomitable journalist, he dives into the investigation, not fully realizing the danger it poses. Their search for the killer draws them into a convoluted web of sadistic violence and cryptic clues, including a mysterious children's tune that haunts Marcus.
As Marcus delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers a series of grisly murders, all seemingly connected to the psychic's eerie abilities. The clues lead him through a labyrinth of eerie occurrences and historical puzzles pertaining to an unsolved intrigue of years prior. Navigating the shadowy corners of the city and the darker corners of the human psyche, Marcus finds himself entangled in a sinister plot far more expansive and entwined with the past than he could have ever imagined. The murderer remains a ghostly presence, always one step ahead, propelling Marcus into a race against time to piece together the fragmented narrative of violence and madness before he becomes the next victim.
