A caption reads: Dario Argento's Tenebrae on Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD
Arrow Video
In the early 1980s, Dario Argento (Deep Red, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage), Italy’s legendary master of horror, returned to the giallo thriller genre in which he originally made his name for his most blood-drenched and self-reflexive offering to date: Tenebrae.
A razor-wielding psychopath is stalking the thriller writer Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa, Death Wish II), in Rome to promote his latest work, Tenebrae. But the author isn’t the obsessive killer’s only target: the beautiful women who surround him are doomed as, one by one, they fall victim to the murderer’s slashing blade.
Co-starring Daria Nicolodi (Phenomena) and John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and featuring stark, modernist photography by Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria), this one-time Video Nasty updates the classic giallo blueprint for a new decade – now fully restored in 4K alongside a plethora of extras old and new and including, for the first time ever, the alternate US cut, Unsane.

First Time
The more research I do on past films, the more enraged I become with American distribution of our beloved movies. Around 20 minutes of Argento's films were cut?! No wonder people thought horror movies were mostly dumb in America. I watched the full version of this for the first time and I am a new huge fan of Dario Argento's films now. I've probably heard Goblin's Main Theme song a hundred times now! I have some minor criticisms, but they didn't hurt the film or my enjoyment. I went away from this movie just saying "Wow!" a lot. From the time of this review, I've watched Deep Red and this one. I feel like it will be hard to beat Tenebre though. I have Creepers and the Bird with the Crystal Plumage to watch from my collection next.

Tenebre my first watch
Had a chance to watch one disc this morning and wow it impresses. I just watched the Original version so hopefully over the next few weeks I can catch up on the discs. But so far looking good. The experience was made ever better by the fact I'd never seen the film before so seeing it for the first time and in 4k was a nice bonus....
