His daughter, Valerie paid respects to her father and announced the funeral would take place this weekend in Rome. “It is with indescribable pain, a pain that trumps words, that breaks the breath and hammer the heart, that I announce the death of my father,...

If you've ever seen a horror movie with a score composed by Goblin, then you know the band's music is just as much a character as anyone on screen. Undoubtedly, two of Goblin's most celebrated soundtracks were featured in Dawn of the Dead and Suspiria, and to celebrate 40 years of their music from the former, Goblin is releasing a new studio album, Fearless (37513 Zombie Ave.), with reimagined takes on their classic arrangements from George A. Romero's seminal zombie movie and Dario Argento's haunting dance school story.

Chicago – Every once in awhile there’s a relatively smaller studio that just does right by genre fans. It was Anchor Bay for a few years. Now it’s Blue Underground, who have been quietly releasing some horror classics. Two of their best releases hit this week and then again on May 31st in a pair of Dario Argento gems, “Deep Red” and “The Cat O’ Nine Tails.” If you call yourself a horror fan, you should own them both.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
“Deep Red (Profundo Rosso)” is easily the more well-known of the two as it’s widely recognized as one of Argento’s best. In fact, it’s the only film of his to hold 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and should definitely be in the conversation with “Suspiria,” “Inferno,” and maybe “Opera” when one discusses the best works of this true Master of Horror. The Blue Underground Blu-ray, now available,...

Nothing gives me more joy than rediscovering my favorite films on Blu-ray, which is why I was quite excited for the April 26th bow of Dario Argento's classic giallo Deep Red. Not to worry, it's still coming ... but now we've got to wait a little bit longer.
High Def Digest got word that Blue Underground has pushed the release date of Argento's giallo to May 17th, 2011.
Blue Underground’s DVD will feature the first release of the David Hemmings-starring shocker’s uncensored English-language version, while the Blu-ray will include that plus the full-length Italian-language director’s cut. Each has been newly transferred in high definition from the original camera negative in 2.35:1 widescreen, with DTS-es 6.1, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Ex and original mono soundtracks on the DVD and DTS-hd 7.1, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Ex and original mono audio on the Blu-ray.

Blue Underground is renowned for pulling rare horror, cult, and exploitation films out of obscurity and releasing them to the craving fans. Once, many of these films were sold for a pretty penny through bootleg collectors. Thankfully, all of that has changed. Now with the advent of Blu- ray, Blue Underground has decided to give eager fans these once rare films a face lift. This year, many of director Dario Argento’s films will be making their way onto Blu-ray. One of which is Deep Red. We now have the newly revised cover art for Deep Red as well as what special features you will be able to find on the disc.
Though I have a personal kinship with Suspiria (that being the first Argento film I saw), I believe that Deep Red (Profondo Rosso) is his best made film. From the amazing score composed by Goblin, to the spot-on acting by David Hemmings,...
