About

Tenebrae is a 1982 thriller directed by Dario Argento. Anthony Franciosa plays an American author of potboiler thrillers who, promoting a new book in Rome, finds that a murderer is re-enacting his most ghoulish delights of literary fancy. Argento employs bravura crane shots, brazenly baroque lighting, and the iconic moment of a razor slashing through white cotton.

Critics

7.2Very good

Critics admire the film's striking visual style, suspenseful violence and self-aware wit, calling it among the director's best. Some fault its loose plotting and find it cold or overrated compared with his other work.
