Having only watched Dario Argento's Suspiria, I was happy to see Goblin's unique music in his earlier work, Deep Red. The music is mesmerising, not surprising coming from Goblin; while the impressive camera-work accompanied it like a pianist and violinist.
The plot tends to lull at times but is carried by the curiousity of who the killer is and philosophical/social commentary by the main characters; It does escalate towards the end, trying to wrap up the "motive" of the murderer in a heartbeat, which I find a bit unfitting. However the murders are memorable where one seems to me to have inspired Halloween 2 from 1981, 6 years later.
An interesting thriller sprinkled with Argento where the soundtrack and camera do the majority of the heavy lifting.
