Deep Red (Dario Argento, 1975)

It's almost psychedelic in some ways - the way it was shot. There's a lot of innovative camera work and plenty of the sort of gore that you'd expect from Argento. I saw Goblin perform the soundtrack to this a few months ago and I thought “this is a great film”. It's one of those ones that if you revisit it you appreciate it a little bit more. I'm not sure where the interest in psychedelia and altered states comes from really. I guess it's a kind of escapism or something. It takes you away into some place that's not of this world. Its like a bizarre distraction
