Product Description

Product Description

King of Grand-Guignol bloodbaths Dario Argento directs this notorious horror flick from 1982. Peter Neil (Anthony Franciosa) is a mystery writer in Rome to promote his new novel. His stay is disturbed by a crazed maniac who begins a terrifying murder spree, stuffing his victims' mouths with pages from Neils' books...

From Amazon.co.uk

After several excursions into supernatural horror, Dario Argento returned to the homicidal frenzy that made his reputation with this mystery that plays more like a grown-up slasher movie than a detective thriller. Anthony Franciosa stars as Peter Neal, a best-selling horror novelist whose promotional tour in Italy takes a terrible turn when a mysterious killer recreates the brutal murders from his book with real-life victims. The first to die are so-called "deviants", Neal's own friends and finally there comes a promise that the author himself is next on the list. Columbo it ain't, but Argento has always been more concerned with style than story and his execution of the crimes is pure cinematic bravura. From the simple beauty of a straight razor shattering a light bulb (the camera catches the red-hot filament slowly blacking out) to an ambitious crane shot that creeps up and over the sides of a house under siege in a voyeuristic survey that would make Hitchcock proud, Argento turns the art of murder into a stylish spectacle. He even lets his kinkier side show with flashbacks of an adolescent boy and a teasing dominatrix in red stiletto heels that become a key motif of the film. The objects of Argento's homicidal tendencies are traditionally lovely, scantily clad Italian beauties, and with self-deprecating humour he even inserts a scene in which Neal is taken to task for the misogynist violence of his stories--an accusation Argento himself has weathered for years. --Sean Axmaker

5.0 out of 5 starsHitchcockian thriller, or self-reflexive experiment?
By Jonathan James Romley on 9 Aug. 2005
Format: DVD
Argento's best films appeal to the audience's love of the 'whodunit' genre. Even when you strip away all the other factors that often draw people to his work - whether it's the torrents of gore, the sumptuous use of photography, or merely the camp value of some of the performances - it's the overall plot (and the set-pieces that punctuate it) that really grabs our attention, and rewards our patients with a blistering, head-scratching, climax. For me, there's simply nothing better than immersing yourself in a story that offers clues and characters that seemingly point to one thing, but, with the writer and director simultaneously offering the viewer enough twists and turns to throw us off the scent, and keep us guessing, right the way through to the end.
Argento's best film, in my opinion, is Deep Red, because it is there that Argento finds the perfect balance between detective fiction, Hitchcockian suspense, and the lurid, over-the-top gore of the Italian Giallo series. Tenebrae continues the formula developed in Deep Red - as well as other classic Argento, like The Bird With The Crystal Plumage and The Cat O' Nine Tails - but also adds a strong element of self-referential, self-reflexivity. Argento had always thrived on alluding back to his earlier work... I mean, look at the references to The Bird With the Crystal Plumage in Deep Red, or the continuation between Suspiria and Inferno. Here however, it's not enough for the director to give us a lengthy set-piece involving a crazed dog that seems to want to reference the death of the blind man in Suspiria, or the lingering shots of the killer's leather gloves (an Argento trademark), we instead have a director who is using the script to not only deconstruct his own image and persona, but also, to deconstruct the film it's self.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA thrilling effort
By A Customer on 4 Jun. 2003
Format: DVD
'Tenebrae' is the story of Peter Neal, an American thriller author who is publicising his new novel in Rome. Being an Argento film, it's not long before somebody winds up dead. Mr Black Gloves is once again at work in Mondo Argento, this time accusing Neal of corrupting society through his books, and killing 'deviants'. By the time the last body hits the floor, the body count is well into double figures...
'Tenebrae' is visually stunning, with wonderful camera work (particularly just before the second death). Despite being very brightly lit, even during the night scenes, this is one of Argento's most traumatic films. The light is in stark contrast to the title of the film, and as the story goes on the deaths become more violent, the climax being far more bloody than anything in, say, 'Suspiria'. That said, as somebody who really cannot stand gore, I didn't find it too difficult to get through- it's surprising that it's been cut for so long, really.
It also includes classic Argento themes- black gloves, killer POVs, extreme close-ups of eyes, and the old favourite 'Witness who misinterprets what they've seen'. Anyone with an interest in Argento or giallos should see this without hesitation. (Anchor Bay DVD, not Nouveaux Pictures edition!) BUT, if you need an introduction to Argento, I recommend you start with something like 'Sleepless', 'Profondo Rosso' or 'Cat O'Nine Tails'. 'Tenebrae' works best when put within the context of a tradition.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat!
By Mark Wayman on 3 July 2004
Format: DVD
This is my favourite Argento film. It's a 'true' horror film not just a studio's way to make some quick money by throwing a couple of semi-famous teens together with no story and directed by a music video director. You have to be willing to take a lot in to truely understand and enjoy this film.
For those not familiar with Argento's work then I would describe this film as like 'Scream' only a lot gorier! I don't want to give away any of the plot as that would ruin the film for a first time viewer. I would recommend this film to any open-minded horror movie fan.

5.0 out of 5 starsRed herrings, blood and tension in the superior shocker
By CJ on 24 Aug. 2008
Format: DVD
Fierce, stylish sex crimes are on the menu in this grisly, superbly shot film. It's got some great twists and several places where I jumped out of my skin. The violence is extreme and unpleasant, with a good deal of graphic (& in one place hilariously bad) effects. This is powerful stuff and viewing it is like watching a slasher film made by Hitchcock. A required taste but interesting viewing.

4.0 out of 5 starsTenebrae: A simple act of annihilation
By L.J.F.64 on 6 April 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
An American novelist arrives in Rome to promote his latest book, once there however several murders take place connected to him and or the book.

One of Dario Argento's more famous & one of his best pictures. The film contains some of Argento's best set pieces including- the pan shot of the house and the following deaths of the lesbian couple is outstanding and the climax is blood soaked enjoyable mayhem. Acting is much better than you might expect, Franciosa is superb as Neal, Gemma as Det. Germani is also great, but all the cast do a fine job, the music by Simonetti-Morante-Pignatelli is one of Italian horrors best, the title track is excellent. Argento also builds the tension expertly, the before-mentioned pan shot over the house and then the deaths is a superbly crafted sequence, Maria's death scene is another brilliant sequence and the last 20mins are an exercise in how to craft a horror movie. The one issue with the picture is the plot, until the revelations at the end the story is a bit confusing to say the least, a lot is going on but not much makes sense until the latter part of the film (don't miss the car scene at the end), although subsequent watching of the picture are much better when you know what's really going on though.

One of the best films to appear on the video nasties list in the 80's, also one of the best Italian giallo/horror of the period, possibly (maybe about to be slaughtered here) Argento's last truly great film, well until 2014 at least. 4.5/5
