The Rest... Was Like Writing a Book.. a Book!

14 years, 11 months ago at May 30 20:09
Filmed in 1982 about an American Writer who tours Rome to promote his new book "Tenebre" when a vicious killer links his murders to the writer; as if some sick kind of influence. Taking the murder mystery to next level as he always does, Director Dario Argento Brings back the "Point of View" murders with those two Black gloves everybody loves to see take life. A few twists and turns around Writer ... read more

Tenebre marked a return to traditional giallo mode for Argento, departing from the surreal, colorful world of witches and alchemy. Which means we have here a pretty straight forward slasher giallo, but the big difference is the blood and gore level has been turned up quite considerably. And that is where Argento truly shines in Tenebre. It's certainly not without its faults, The story is boring an... read more

" With Argento's trademark visual style, linked with one of his more coherent plots, Tenebrae follows a writer who arrives to Rome only to find somebody is using his novels as the inspiration (and, occasionally, the means) of committing murder. As the death toll mounts the police are ever baffled, and the writer becomes more closely linked to the case than is comfortable. Tenebrae was a modest success in Italy; it reached theatres with little controversy after Argento made cuts to one of the "

"30.5. 2023 People are getting brutally murdered and an author realizes that his work has something to do with the murders. "Tenebre" is a typical Argento film: thin plot, clumsy effects, and only a few genuinely suspenseful moments."

"2.5. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Yllätyksen puute jonkin verran syö shokkiarvoa, mutta ohjaajansa itse- ja genretutkiskelu sekä muutamat mielettömät kamera-ajot eivät miksikään muutu. Murha set-pieceseistä tietty puhumattakaan."

my 2020 movie diary ♥ (39 movies items)

" Wow... This movie was a total fucking knockout. I'm sorry to be a cucked film student type with my shitty movie diary compulsions but this is the first "10" star movie I've seen this year. Tenebre is a searing tale of glamorous highly-stylized giallo murder violence. Visually, it is impeccable and gorgeous to the eye. The sets look clean and futuristic, the camera work is smooth with artful wide-pan shots, and the characters are so fucking well dressed; like 80s YSL mannequins. There is"
