Oops, I witnessed a murder is the latest theme. "Deep Red" (1975) is the second film we've reviewed by Italian horror director Dario Argento, and it is much like the first, "Suspiria". Lots of head scratching moments, yet we both liked it. Argento is inventive in ways to kill people. DePalma's "Blow Out" (1981) was a new genre of film for Travolta and he pulled it off. He plays a movie sound man who sees a murder and does his own sleuthing . A young Lithgow steals the movie in a psychotic supporting role. This is the kind of film you want to be great, but alas it's just good.
Next, killing sprees is our theme with "The Boys Next Door" (1985) and "Elephant" (2003).
