Deep Red (1994 film)

Deep Red is a 1994 American sci-fi thriller television film directed by Craig R. Baxley, written by D. Brent Mote, and starring Michael Biehn and Lindsey Haun.

[2] The science fiction, horror, and fantasy film review website moriareviews.com wrote, "All his other genre material shows Craig R. Baxley with an above-average competence as a director.

The story makes a stab at film noir atmosphere with Michael Biehn’s burned out detective/bodyguard hero receiving mysterious assignments from beautiful women.

The film holds one intrigued for some time by the sheer strangeness of the proceedings – the pursuing thugs who cannot be harmed by bullets, only fire; the people who are much older than they appear to be; the little girl who is at the centre of the quest and can bend and metamorphose her body.

Unfortunately they are straddling the apparent deficits in the budget and plot, meaning that 'Deep Red' is a rather passably entertaining and scantly exciting hybrid of crime noir and science fiction that does not live up to its potential.

"[4] Reviewer Dieter Krusche of the website filmdienst.de called the film "An outrageous story staged blandly and without any distinction which only clumsily implements its crude special effects.
