I am baffled by the high regard many feel for this movie. I saw the widescreen DVD which looked great but the movie itself is a half hour too long, with only the gore scenes making it almost worth watching. I much prefer TENEBRAE which I also saw in widescreen DVD. That movie was senseless too but at least I jumped out of my seat at least five times and there were some great set-pieces. DEEP RED was just not scary at all and was pretty boring for much of the way. 5/10.
