I learned quite a bit after watching Deep Red. Dario Argento was the premier auteur of Italian horror and was referred to as the "Master of the Thrill". He also directed some other important horror films, including "Suspiria". But mainly I learned the progressive rock weirdo-trip-out soundtrack on Deep Red was written and performed by Italian underground legends, Goblin.
Deep Red was pretty engaging for a 1975 flick. The story did have a couple snooze-inducing moments but basically this is a classic slasher whodunnit done with tasteful atmosphere and suspense. Some genuinely creepy moments tucked in this one. Some say the 126 minute version is way better but I was pretty ok with this 105 minute version. 8 hanging dolls and murderous marionettes out of 10.
