Scarecrowber: Deep Red
October 14, 2026
A jazz musician and a plucky reporter uncover a legacy of dementia and murder in the greatest giallo of them all, featuring one of cinema’s best-ever scores.
The grisly killing of a celebrity telepath in Rome leads David Hemmings and Daria Nicolodi down a rabbit hole of repressed trauma, gruesome deaths and one of the creepiest puppets ever put on the screen. Dario Argento’s masterwork still feels incredibly modern; its perspective-shredding camera hurtles across rooms and lovingly circles fetishized instruments of both music and death while Goblin’s blissed-out prog-rock score blares on the soundtrack. Luxuriate in the rhythms of one of the most stylish thrillers ever made – here in its full, original Italian version. This is the movie that hooked every cinephile on the giallo genre.
