According to the man himself on his Get Nyman DVD, the effect Deep Red Prediction was named in honour of the Dario Argento's movie Deep Red. As it happens, this movie is on Film4 tonight (well, tomorrow, technically - it starts at 1.20am on Sunday morning).

I haven't seen this one myself but, for the younger members of the board, it's probably worth noting that it is a Dario Argento film, and so, you know... 'This film has been given a caution rating for piles of graphic violence and a completely baffling third act.'

Coo, this sounds like fun:

" Playing sinister games with doubles and mirrors, Dario Argento draws on a wealth of movie references to give this stylised chiller its unnerving atmosphere. What's most striking, however, is his incessant use of a fluid camera that fills each meticulously constructed sequence with unease. As in Blow Up, David Hemmings becomes obsessed with tracking down a killer, only for his classical musician to soon find himself being pursued as both suspect and target. Argento's delight in eccentric props and erratic angles, together with his reliance on pop psychology, help make this a fascinating odyssey into psychosis, despite its evident flaws."
