Tenebrae

Dario Argento 's Tenebrae is a perfectly executed giallo. Its's packed full of style, wonderful camera movement, and an amazing score. A great whodunnit, that I remember being clueless as to who was committing the murders the first time I saw it. Tenebrae is the last in a run of four absolute classic Argento films. Starting with Deep Red (1975) , then Suspiria (1977), then Inferno (1980), and ending with Tenebrae (1982). A must see film if interested at all in giallos or Italian horror from the 80s. Synapse did an unbelievable job with this Blu Ray. The picture and audio quality are spot on perfect. I also enjoyed the full length documentary extra, Yellow Fever: The Rise and Fall of the Giallo.

Hearing about Dario Agento movies. I had to pick this up. I thi k the set was worth the price. The movie is enjoyable. I chose this art because it looked amazing.

Excellent movie.

Another entertaining giallo by the master himself. Decidedly less style-obsessed and visually inventive as some of his best work, but makes up for it with a suitably tangled murder mystery and some great kill sequences. The movie gets off to a somewhat clumsy start (and again there is that stilted acting and awkward dialogue that is almost part of the appeal of these movies once you're endeared to them), but steadily improves as it progresses. The climax really elevates the rest of the film and ends things on a high note. I also enjoyed the somewhat meta quality of the film, as it's about a giallo writer who provides some well-placed wink-and-a-nod dialogue that comments on the movie itself. Not a masterpiece, but a fun film with an unpredictable plot and a number of memorable sequences that make up for its shortcomings. Decent 4/5

Up until recently, copies of Tenebrae had been pretty expensive to get ahold of, at least in North America, with copies of it often exceeding sixty dollars or more for the out of print Anchor Bay release. But finally, Synapse films saw fit to give this Argento classic the royal treatment it deserves. The film is often regarded as one of Dario Argento's best giallos, and it's reputation is well earned. The film is stylish, features fantastic cinematography, good looking locations, suitably graphic murder sequences that are filmed with his usual eye for beauty, and some solid nudity to back things up with. But besides the movie, my favorite part of Synapse's Blu-ray release of the film is the inclusion of a 90 minute documentary titled "Yellow Fever: The rise and fall of the Italian giallo."

This is an amazing movie. Anything Argento does makes me happy, but this movie has a certain feel to it. It's not supernatural like some of his other films and it really translates well to more audiences because of this. John Saxon is also amazing to see!! The blu ray of this movie is just gorgeous. The colors pop and the audio is really on point. The dog chasing scene scared my dog so that can only be good!

I want to give this a 5 star but my 4K crashes in three different spots. does it on two different players. i found out after my return window closed and Synapse so far will not answer my emails. update They are sending a replacement disk! Now we are talking.... great movie.

Wonderful release of this old film. Nice cover. Maybe the only minus is that the film has no Atmos

Il video è nitidissimo ma come al solito è l'audio in italiano a non essere super ma è un "Cult" di tantissimi anni fa e credo sia il massimo che hanno potuto fare... Da consigliare a chi ama il Maestro Argento...

ça me surprendra toujours de voir ce qu'est capable de faire cette maison d'edition en comparaison de ce qu'on recupere en france avec wild side(concernant dario argento et comportant une version française). cette edition de tenebres est tout simplement geniale et comporte des bonus en pagaille et un livret, de plus la presentation de ce blu ray est bien plus stylee que ce qu'a pu nous offrir wild side avec ses tres laides presentations sur nos dvds et blu rays français! tres bonne qualite d'image et de son, v.o sous titree anglais ou italien. une magnifique edition pour le fan que je suis de ce maitre en grande perte d'inspiration ces dernieres annees mais qui aura eu le temps de realiser de grands chefs d'oeuvre avant sa decheance...

Es la mejor edición de esta película de culto de Dario Argento. La presentación es más vistosa que la de Arrow, aunque contiene lo mismo en calidad y material adicional, la portada vale muchísimo la pena. Aunque no trae subtítulos al español.

Great movie! Poor shipping and handling. Recommended anyway…

La Arrow ci delizia sempre con uscite imperdibili. Abbiamo il film in 4k e 1080p. Una valanga di contenuti speciali. Il packaging è come di consueto strepitoso: cover rigida, libretto (in inglese) con tutte le info, poster ecc... Il film ha chiaramente anche l'audio in italiano con sottotitoli in inglese facoltativi.
