Folklore, nursery rhymes, rag dolls, villas without rooms, stick figures on the walls, extreme fear, schizophrenia, emotional quirks... Speaking of these words, there will be countless horror movies reflected in the mind immediately: "Ten Indian Children", "Ghost Baby", "Mentally Ill", "Brother Cuts the Grass"...Even, "Uniform Temptation", the movie introduced today basically belongs to the master of the above vocabulary-"Deep "Red", although its achievements and popularity are far less than the aforementioned "Wind Winds", it is my favorite one of Dario Aquinto's movies.

One of the reasons: This is the most sophisticated screenwriter of the horror films I have seen so far. It makes people deeply fall into the plot of the movie. While watching the movie, it is constantly speculating about the next plot but it is always unexpected. From this point of view, this movie can also be regarded as a suspense film, which can completely compete with Hitchcock.
Reason 2: The horror effect is excellent, the 2-hour heart challenge, fear is everywhere, but it is completely missing. This has a lot to do with the director's skill. The use of scenes, music, and shots are seamless.
Reason three: details. The "painting" on the wall and the N methods of death of different people are very creative, and there are still its shadows in many horror movies. It is not difficult to have any of the above reasons, but the three characteristics all shine in the same movie. Just imagine how powerful it is.

Before the beginning of the movie, I gave us a small gift. It was a 10-second clip: Under a beautiful nursery rhyme, a bloody sharp knife fell next to a pair of children's leather shoes and snow-white socks.
A dazzling red opening, the Roman Theater is holding a lecture on telepathy. The speaker Ms. Heigl has a very human sixth sense. She talked about her sudden out of control screaming, and felt that someone around her was ruthlessly daggered. Kill, there is a nursery rhyme. The meeting place was out of control for a time, and Heigl decided to write down what she had sensed. When he walked out of the theater, there was a dark corner staring at Heigl's back.
In the dark, young pianist Marcus and his good friend Carlo were walking on the streets of Rome. When they broke up, they looked up and saw Ms. Hagel lying bloody on the window glass on the second floor of the hotel. Behind her with both hands raised a butcher knife and slashed her crazy. Marcus hurried over. The corridors of the hotel are complicated, and there are many strange paintings on the walls. When he rushed into Hagel’s room, the murderer had already run away. Hegel’s tragic death was filled with glass around his neck. The police dealt with it. After finishing the scene. Marcus met a very curious female reporter and made friends. When Marcus turned back to the corridor carefully, he found that he had lost a painting, or it had been moved by someone. This question has been bothering him. But he himself didn't know that he had gotten into trouble. Marcus went home to practice the piano and suddenly heard a nursery rhyme that was coming and going. He realized that the danger was coming. The voice said: I will kill you.

Marcus started investigating but had no clue, rummaged through the record shops and finally found the age-old nursery rhyme. I accidentally heard people say that this evil folklore mentioned nursery rhymes and ghosts. Marcus went to the library to find the book. There was a picture of the old villa and an evil story about the old villa. He tore off the picture and went to the author who lived in the suburbs. When he arrived, the female author was scalded to death by boiling water. The policemen who participated in the investigation also died bizarrely. All clues are broken. After Marcus carefully observed the plants in the picture, he caught his attention. After asking about the plants in the south, Marcus followed the road and found the strange villa. The one who took care of the villa was a nearby farmer, who replaced him. It is rented out, but no one has ever rented it. It is said that the house is haunted. Marcus pretended to rent the house and asked for the key to enter the villa. The stick figure, a sharp knife and blood all over the floor, and a few-year-old child standing next to it made Marcus completely puzzled. It was dark and the farmer came and urged Marcus to leave. After returning home, he vaguely realized something was wrong. He drove back to the villa in the middle of the night and took out the pictures he had pulled from the library. In contrast, he found that the villa was missing one room. The room, from the front window into a wall. There must be something wrong with this missing room. Marcus knocked open the wall. It turned out to be a good room. In the middle of the room sat a dry skeleton full of spider webs...

At this time, Marcus was knocked out from behind. When he woke up, he was in the arms of the female reporter, and the villa was almost destroyed by fire. They went to the farmer’s house to call the police. The farmer has a weird little daughter. Marcus suddenly saw the little girl’s painting on the wall that looked exactly like the one on the inner wall of the villa. He asked how the little girl drew the painting. The little girl was frightened. I said that I copied what I saw when I was cleaning in the school's reference room. So Marcus and the female reporter rushed to the school where the little girl was staying...

Okay, at the end of the story, I can't continue, because the practice of making the whole plot of the movie public is harmful to character. If you are interested in knowing the ending, go find this movie and watch it yourself. Children's rhymes, stick figures on the walls, and what is going on with the missing "paintings" in the hotel, the ending will definitely surprise you.

Deep Red quotes

  • Gianna Brezzi: I think that a woman's gotta be independent so she can...

    Marcus Daly: Oh, don't start with me about all that woman's stuff. It is a fundamental fact... men are different from women. Women are... weaker; well, they're gentler.

    Gianna Brezzi: They're what? Weaker? Gentler?

    [she howls in laughter - stops laughing, stands, unbuttons jacket, moves to the table, determinedly clearing it]

    Marcus Daly: What on earth are you doing?

    Gianna Brezzi: [sitting again and holding her arm up, wriggling her fingers] Come on, Tarzan. Why don't you try me?

    Marcus Daly: What's that?

    Gianna Brezzi: Arm wrestling.

    [brusquely]

    Gianna Brezzi: Come on. Then we'll see who's weaker!

    Marcus Daly: Oh, don't be ridiculous!

    Gianna Brezzi: You backing out?

  • Carlo: Look, maybe you've seen something so important you can't realize it.

    Marcus Daly: But... I'm just trying to understand, because...

    Carlo: You know, sometimes what you actually see and what you imagine... get mixed up in your memory like a cocktail... from which you can no longer distinguish one flavor from another.

    Marcus Daly: But I'm telling you the truth!

    Carlo: No, Marc. You think you're telling the truth, but in fact... you're telling only your version of the truth. It happens to me all the time.
