Tenebrae
Directed by Dario Argento
Horror novelist Peter Neal arrives in Rome for a book tour just as a series of brutal murders begin. When Peter learns the killer is a superfan inspired by his gruesome novels, he decides to solve the crimes. As the slasher’s blade continues its bloodthirsty business, Neal realizes he must dive deep into his memories if he wants to catch the killer. After a scary experience being menaced by a real-life obsessed fan, Dario Argento poured his fears into this visually stunning return to form, loading TENEBRE with some of the most gorgeous and horrific murders in all the director’s oeuvre.
A razor-wielding psycho stalks a horror writer in one of Dario Argento's most celebrated gialli.
Cast: Anthony Franciosa, Giuliano Gemma, John Saxon

Some of Argento’s greatest stylized kills, but it does not hold up as well as his other pictures: it’s 80s ugly and is not photographed as well as his other works! However, this is gore that reminds us how brilliant Argento is with style and creativity with slasher kills!
Yup!
The second best Italian movie ever made, Hail Argento!
One of Argentos best. A great starting point for Argento or giallo in general.
Iconico! Primo Giallo (chief's kiss)
