Like BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMMAGE, our protagonist remembers a detail they saw before that takes on a different meaning at the end to solve the mystery. #CultShelf

Did we find the real killer? We got a few minutes left to find out. #CultShelf

Maybe not a shock to hear James Wan had that evil puppet in his head when working on SAW. #CultShelf

One of the funnier adds in this longer cut? That dance Gianna does out of Marcus’ place. #CultShelf

Argento and his screenwriter basically thought about ways that would really be horrifying to happen to you in real life, not like being shot or stabbed. Hence, Giordani getting killed like that. #CultShelf

Well, not sure I blame someone for wallpapering over…THAT. #CultShelf

I mean, pretty inventive way to discover a clue with the hot water steam. #CultShelf

In Italy, you don’t have to force the dogs to fight each other. They just do it on their own. They’re professionals. #CultShelf

The gore effects were done by Carlo Rambaldi, whose work we’ve featured here before in stuff like POSSESSION. #CultShelf

Sure, I see a doll hanged on a noose in my living room that wasn’t there before, I think, “Well, I could run, but how about I go back inside?” #CultShelf

CultShelf @cultshelf.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

So, the longer version here has a little bit more on this “House of the Screaming Child” thing, along with slightly more violence and character interactions than American audiences saw. #CultShelf

CultShelf @cultshelf.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah, a missing painting. I’m sure that’ll help find the killer that might be targeting you. #cultshelf

“I love that guy, but he’s such a downer.” Isn’t that always the case in an Argento movie? #CultShelf

This was primarily shot in the city of Turin in Italy. #CultShelf

This also marked Argento’s first collaboration with the band Goblin for the score. #CultShelf

There were many firsts for Argento’s filmography here, including his first movie working with Daria Nicolodi. They started a relationship during filming. #cultshelf

This movie was released in other countries like here in a version 20 minutes shorter. This longer cut was the one released in Italy, and has a bit more character stuff to round things out. #CultShelf

David Hemmings got a long career out of movies like BLOW-UP before this came around. #CultShelf

This also started a trend where the killer’s hands in Argento’s Giallos was his hands. #CultShelf

Took a bit, but there’s the Argento violence you all came to see. #CultShelf

Tuesdays this month, we’re going to have sequels to movies we’ve already done here on #CultShelf . Among them include:

Argento did try to escape the Giallo films that made him successful, but eventually came back to do this, during the height of the Giallo craze. #CultShelf

Been a bit since we’ve done a Dario Argento movie and this is one long in the queue that came up at the right time. #CultShelf

Join #CultShelf this Friday at 10 PM Pacific for the start of October with Dario Argento’s DEEP RED! A musician sees the murder of his neighbor, and seeks to find the killer before he’s the next victim! You can find the movie (the Italian 2 hour cut, BTW) on Tubi!

And with that strange ending, thanks #CultShelf brethren! Friday, we start October with Dario Argento’s DEEP RED! Until then, take care and get some sleep!

The ending feels a little ambiguous, but the idea seems to be Zack is now stuck on another Earth, doomed to repeat his search for anyone all over again. #CultShelf

CultShelf @cultshelf.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Nope, Zack decided to drive this one in. #CultShelf

Sure, blow up the grid. I’m sure that’ll work. #CultShelf

Hey, all these people were dead when that effect happened. And now they’re alive. Scary. #CultShelf

Pete Smith as Api has popped up in a few things, like the drama ONCE WERE WARRIORS. That film’s director, Lee Tamahori, was the assistant director on this. #CultShelf
