After cracking skulls and souls with the supernatural one-two punch of Suspiria and Inferno, Dario Argento went back to basics with TENEBRE—a brilliant Giallo and one of the filmmaker’s most assured achievements. The story follows a famous horror novelist who, while promoting his latest book in Rome, finds himself at odds with a black-gloved lunatic on a mutilation spree. With stylized comic book visuals, a killer synth score from members of Goblin, and a pre-Scream, meta-enhanced exploration of violence, there’s no reason to think about anything except how amazing it feels to be smitten with this movie. – American Genre Film Archive
