Reception edit

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. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Deep Red. It certainly starts out with some promise. 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. The film keeps one bound to it by the fact that, in its adopting a mystery format, one wants to find a rationalising schema that will allow explanations to fall into place. Gradually though, it becomes apparent that the film doesn’t have much of an idea what is happening either. Or if the scriptwriter does, they have not done a particularly good job communicating it on screen. The entire script appears to be a lumpen pile of loose ends and abrupt changes of tone."[3]

Reviewer Nils Bothman of the action film review website actionfreunde.de gave the film a rating of 4 out of 10 stars, concluding, "In this respect the director and actors make a fair effort and can exude a classic noir flair with likewise noir figures. 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."[5]

The website tvspielfielm.de concluded its review by stating, "Wow, that's really a wild story, but at least Michael Biehn ('Terminator') lends the whole thing an air of plausibility."[6]

The science fiction film review website scifimoviepage.com gave the film a rating of 1 out of 4 stars, writing, "Deep Red starts off promisingly enough as we are witnessing a battle between two enormous space ships in outer space. The one ship blows the other to bits. A piece of wreckage hurls through Earth's atmosphere and is lodged . . . into a small girl's hand! Thereafter it would be difficult for any movie to keep the same level of interest, but Deep Red fails more miserably than most. It soon involves Michael Biehn being chased around by a mad scientist and his sidekicks in search of an immortality treatment - or something like that. Michael Biehn clearly had better days when he was chased around by The Terminator since this is a film that clearly lacks any magic potion that'll guarantee celluloid immortality . . ."[7]
