Summary: One Of The Best From Argento
Review: I found the DVD version of Argento's Tenebrae to be one of the best in my collection. Like so many of the other reviewers, I found the picture and sound quality to be superb. I have to say that Tenebrae contains perhaps my favorite soundtrack to any Argento film (except for maybe Suspiria). I find the film to be both horrific and beautiful at the same time. In particular--I admire the film's flashback sequences in which the killer agonizes being tormented by the woman in red shoes (these particular scenes also play my favorite music from the film--"Slow Circus"). Anyway I am thrilled to have Tenebrae as part of my DVD collection and am looking forward to Argento's latest giallo, Non Ho Sonno, to be released soon on DVD.

Summary: Definately Delivers!
Review: Dario Argento's Tenebre is very entertaining. There is one sequence in particular that sticks in your mind, (which I'm not going to discuss, because if you've never seen this film, you're in for a treat). The ending alone is a huge surprise. If your an Argento fan or even if you have never seen one of his films. Then, this is a sure fire bet, although perhaps not his best it is sure to please.The DVD is uncut, and is one of the few films in The Dario Argento DVD collection that comes with a commentary.

Summary: Stylish horror with excellent camera-work
Review: The plot and goings on are well covered in other reviews. Having been severely unimpressed with serveral Fulchi movies, I started to wonder if there was anything to like about the genre. Thank goodness for this film - it's stylish, gruesome and fun! I'm not going to claim to be an expert, but Argento kicks the pants off Fulchi - no comparison.

Summary: Argento - King of the Giallo
Review: Mario Bava may have been the Father of the "Giallo" film, but Dario Argento perfected the genre. And Tenebre is a shining example of how a great "Giallo" is created. A lot of people don't get this genre of filmmaking - too many red herrings; too many plot twists; incoherent, non-linear, and sometimes non-existant plot; and of course beautifully choreographed scenes of extreme violence (the axe versus hand dismemberment in Tenebre is a stunning example of this). If you don't know what the "Giallo" genre of horror filmmaking is, then Tenebre is a good place to start; along with Argento's Deep Red and Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace.

Summary: Interesting but far from perfect
Review: There is some truly spectacular cinematography in this film, however as in many Argento films we are ultimately left with a lot of style and very little substance. The body count become laughably excessive by the end of the film and most plot logic is muddied by the carnage. The strength of this film however, lies in Argento's ability to force the viewer to be an accomplice in these murders. Gloved hands reach from below the frame, hand-held cameras follow screaming girls and of course a painfully long voyurestic tracking shot preceeds gruesome murders--all forcing the viewer to experience these deaths as if they were the killer. This unnerving technique forces us to address why we are interested in watching the film, and what effect this violent media might have upon us. I find the catchy disco soundtrack makes the joy-killing almost unbearably perverse at times. The DVD presentation is good, however I am VERY DISAPPOINTED that there were no subtitles for the film, forcing me to watch an absolutely atrocious dubbing.

Summary: Gem of Giallo horror
Review: Argento does bueno on this giallo. Most claim Deep Red is his true giallo classic, I say THIS is it. Watch the end of this film and I guarentee you'll be impressed.

Summary: Argento fans need this
Review: Most fans of Argento's "slasher" movies will give Deep Red 5 stars and let all others fall away after it. I happen, though, to be one of the very few that feel that Tenebre is his best. I love the cast (John Saxon is always excellent) and I love the look and story of this movie. I wish that Americans could figure out how to make fims like this.

Summary: One of Argento's best
Review: I personally think this film is underrated, compared to all the praise Argento's Suspiria receives. That's also a great film, but Tenebrae is often overlooked. The story is about a horror novelist who travels to Italy to promote his new book, called Tenebrae. Soon, some murders start happening that link the author to the crimes. The usual giallo business, yes, but this film is different. It contains some of the most powerful scenes Argento has ever filmed. Not to mention a huge body count. About 20 minutes into the film there's a very haunting flashback that gives me chills every time I see it. It's a beautiful scene. Some other highlights include the infamous (and very gory) arm-chopping and the extremly tense scene of a girl being chased by a vicious dog. Some parts are silly, and the ending is a bit confusing, but I still consider this a classic, and one you shouldn't miss.

Summary: Tenebre: Exposing the Darkness of the Soul
Review: Argento exploited the use of bright sunny light in this film to reveal the darkness of the human soul. This is what the entire film is about. Ingeniousely, the psychological drama is what keeps the film going. Unlike many of his more convoluted works, Tenebre is a masterful film, and it is interesting for both fans and nons. One of the best films by Argento, and if I had to rank it, would come in this order: 1. Suspiria 2. Tenebre 3. The Stendhal Syndrome 4. Inferno 5. Opera 6. Phenomena 7. The Bird With The Crystal Plumage 8. Four Flies on Grey Velvet 9. Trauma 10. Two Evil Eyes, etc. Highly recommended, as you can see, Suspira comes only before this one in my reviews, and Tenebre follows at no. 2.

Summary: Tenebre: The Darkness of The Soul, Exposed
Review: Excellent film about the darkness of the human soul exposed, strangely enough, through a mise-en-scene of brightly lit, sunny scenes and locations. The storyline is intruiging, the film very easy to watch [unlike some of Argento's more convoluted works], and the themata just plain fascinating. At the heart of the film, like all of Argento's works, a complex, psychological construation, full of implicit and metaphorical delvings. Highly suggested, for both fans and nons alike. A masterpiece.
