As someone whose been a huge fan of John Carpenter ever since my first viewing of The Thing remake, it’s come to a point where it pains me to say this but - he owes much of his success to the "Maestro", Dario Argento, and of course legendary band, Goblin. While you can see similarities in Carpenter's films to other earlier Argento efforts (Four Flies in Grey Velvet, Bird with Crystal Plumage) the pilfering is most evident though in Deep Red. Sure, there weren’t any Shatner-masked killers named Michael Myers but there are deaths in the film, point-of-view shots and a soundtrack that almost mirrors Carpenter's famous track to Halloween. Would you like to see what I'm talking about? Blue Underground has produced a new Blu-ray version of the Argento classic many fans and filmmakers alike still look back at in awe.Buy Deep Red
