Operating under the principle that a moving camera is always better than a static one, and not above throwing in a terrifying evil doll, Deep Red showcases the technical bravado and loopy shock tactics that made Argento famous.

Rotten

I don't think that Dario Argento, the director, meant to distance us from the action in this way. He's simply a director of incomparable incompetence.
