Horror Movie Month: Tenebrae

The Plot: An American writer visits Rome to promote his book where a killer begins to murder women in the most grisly of ways, recalling scenes from his latest best seller. He teams up with an Italian detective to try to find the killer.

The Scares: It's not scary at all. In fact, it's not even so much a slasher movie as it is a murder mystery with super bloody and gory death scenes. I was expecting something else entirely from this Dario Argento film. I haven't seen a lot of his films, but the few I have seen have been intense and operatic and sort of epic. This moves at a glacial pace and is boring for a long time. The end, however, is awesome.

The Body Count: 11.

The Grade: C
