…TERROR BEYOND BELIEF

Italian horror master Dario Argento (Suspiria, Deep Red) elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982's TENEBRAE, a darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder-mystery that many consider to be one of his finest works.
American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa, Death Wish II) comes to Rome to promote his newest novel, Tenebrae. A razor-wielding psychopath is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his novel. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless! Co-starring John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Daria Nicolodi (Phenomena), John Steiner (Caligula) and featuring beautiful cinematography by Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria).

Now, Synapse Films, in conjunction with Arrow Video, makes this gory suspense classic available for the first time on UHD in a new 4K restoration for TENEBRAE's 40th anniversary!

Relativement nul, mauvais et raté !

Bien !
Ceci est un film de Dario Argento, père d’Asia et spécialisé et maître du giallo (un genre cinématographique principalement italien à la frontière du cinéma policier, du cinéma d'horreur et de l'érotisme qui a connu son âge d'or des années 1960 aux années 1980) et ce film a été fait deux ans après cet âge d’or.

En gros, faut tout simplement aimer le giallo !!!
Et je ne crois pas que ce soit un style auquel j’adhère.

Je pourrais aussi être plus cru dans ma critique et simplement dire que les années 80 + le cinéma italien, ça ne fait pas bon ménage ! C’est comme si le film avait eux mauvais parents !

Le film commence de manière pourtant chouette, avec ces crimes, ces jolies femmes dénudées, cette enquête policière tournant autour d’un auteur qui inspire des crimes. Il y a même des dialogues avant-gardistes anti sexisme et une bonne allusion à Sherlock Holmes… mais hélas, tout cela s’essouffle assez rapidement.

Il est clair que, pour moi, la dernière demi heure sombre dans le ridicule, le pathétique. Ça en devient même hilarant tellement c’est sur-exagéré, mal joué, mal fait.

Ottima masterizzazione in HD davvero uno spasso rivederlo. Il prezzo vale il prodotto.
Per collezionisti! Peccato che la cover non sia quella originale.

Der Film ist einfach der Hammer. Nachdem ich Tenebre jetzt gesehen habe ist er (für mich) nach Opera der beste Argento film
Blablabla...

Bei welcher österreichischen Blu Ray soll man denn zugreifen bevor sie vergriffen ist?! Eine solche Version existiert leider (noch) nicht.
Die Wertung bezieht sich auf den Film, nicht auf die geschnittene Version auf dieser Scheibe.

kauft euch die österreich version diese ist uncut und ebenfalls bald vergriffen.
sehr guter gallofilm (bis auf ein paar traumsequenzen/erotik ist zwar ein teil des rätzels aber passt irgendwie nicht so ganz in die art des filmes). vor allem die dobermann szene war die filmbeschau schon alleine wert...einfach klasse ...meine lieblingsszene :-)
Kunst!

Die Ästhetik dieses Kunstwerkes ist einmalig und komplex. Die extrem helle Ausleuchtung im Gegensatz zum Titel TENEBRE (Dunkelheit), die ultramodernen Dekors, die blutbespritzten Wände - einmalig!

Einer der besseren Werke von Dario Argento. Gemäss ofdb-Angaben sollte diese Fassung ungeschnitten sein.
