Tenebre is a horror from Suspiria’s director Dario Argento. Released in 1982 the film was described in the United Kingdom as a Video Nasty, as well as being delayed for two years by the US and then censored to death.

Describing Tenebre as a Video Nasty is unjust. As is so commonly associated with this classification, the film does include a great deal of gore, murder and flesh, this does not however draw from it’s artistic merit. The heavy dialogue of the film is similar to that of Film Noir, it works well and isn’t excessive.

Whilst less renowned, Tenebre is arguably Argento’s best work. It’s a stylish film with a convincing serial killer and a strong, memorable soundtrack.
