Tenebre (1982) by Dario Argento
I'm just gonna come right out and say it, "Tenebre" was absolute rubbish from beginning to end, and to be frank, I don't even care enough to waste my time writing about it, so I'll make this brief. The movie is filled with idiocy and inconsistencies, to the point of me getting bored by all of the stupidity, just 30 minutes into its runtime. The film also doesn't work as a mindless gorefest, when all of the practical effects can't even hold up nowadays, so they are left looking pretty dumb. Oh and the acting is bad too.
The only compliments I can give the movie are, it being shot competently, and the score effectively working a few times. Other than that, it's a pure waste of time. I'm not giving up on Argento though, I currently have "Deep Red" ready to be seen, and I already have watched "Suspiria" when I was very young, but I think I need to revisit it, so it's only a matter of time before I get to them both.
⭐1/2
