Tenebre (1982)
Terror Beyond Belief!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how Goblin knocked it out of the park with the opening theme for Tenebre?

Argento does it again in this whodunit where you will be second guessing everything, and everyone, up to the tail credits. Clues will lead you down one path, only to come to one of many forks in the road, and back to square one before the film is over. Each death is grizzlier and bloodier than the last, and each Easter egg upon reflection will make you want more.
I would choose this movie to be one for a discussion on a variety of topics, including dichotomies, gender roles, the artist vs. the art, and so much more.
Bonus points for being a dubbed version of a film that is enjoyable.
Four out a five stars.
Tenebre is available to stream on Tubi, and can be possibly found on DVD at your local library. This article was originally published on https://substack.com/@oliviakt07.
