"Profondo Rosso" is probably Dario Argento's finest because it features his best qualities: a very interesting, intriguing, and macabre plot; spectacular death scenes and gore; an eerie atmosphere; great and haunting score; and best of all, his innovative camera techniques that will leave you "I think I saw something haunting...".
This movie established some important aspects for the genre such as the importance of colors, plot twists, and flashback sequences.
"Profondo Rosso" has everything a Giallo needs plus it has Argento's style on it. Some of the scenes will stay in your mind for a long time like in most of his movies; specially those involved with mirrors.
Also, the gore factor is extremely good; almost as good as in "Tenebrae" which I believe defines the word perfection talking about Giallos.
But I think that the most important thing about this movie is the pace that will grab your attention since the beginning and then when the movie is about to reach the climax, things will make sense and affect your sub-conscious to the point that you will feel very impressed in every aspect.
You can't get better than this. Word.
