Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Charles Camp Another entertaining giallo by the master himself. Decidedly less style-obsessed and visually inventive as some of his best work, but makes up for it with a suitably tangled murder mystery and some great kill sequences. The movie gets off to a somewhat clumsy start (and again there is that stilted acting and awkward dialogue that is almost part of the appeal of these movies once you're endeared to them), but steadily improves as it progresses. The climax really elevates the rest of the film and ends things on a high note. I also enjoyed the somewhat meta quality of the film, as it's about a giallo writer who provides some well-placed wink-and-a-nod dialogue that comments on the movie itself. Not a masterpiece, but a fun film with an unpredictable plot and a number of memorable sequences that make up for its shortcomings.Decent 4/5

Michael Davies I watched this movie based on its reviews on IMDb, and i have to say, its the most disappointed I've been in a movie in a long time. How anyone can take this movie seriously is beyond me. The acting is beyond belief bad, its up there with the worse acting I've EVER seen in ANY movie. Come on, who can really take this seriously. It was also so obvious from the beginning that the author was going to be the murderer, doesn't take holmes or dick van dyke to figure this one out. I also found the music very annoying and not fitting with what was actually going on, add to that the dodgy attempts at being artistic with the camera and this really is an awful movie. I wasn't sure if it was a kind of comedy/ thriller at first. The acting is that bad, i didn't know if the viewer was even supposed to be taking this serious, but apparently you are. I love 80s movies, but this one is really dated and really painful viewing. I even found the toxic avenger more realistic. The best part of the movie was getting to see the girls knickers while she was getting chased by the cleverest dog on the planet. I suppose they had to throw that in just to try and keep some people watching.

gwnightscream Dario Argento's 1982 horror film stars Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, Darla Nicolodi and Ania Pieroni. Franciosa plays Peter Neal, an American, best-selling author who travels to Rome, Italy to promote his new horror-mystery novel, "Tenebrae." Soon, a mysterious killer starts slaughtering some of the people Peter knows just like in the novel. Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street) plays Peter's agent, Bullmer, Nicolodi not only plays Peter's assistant, Anne, but was also married to Argento at the time and Pieroni (House by the Cemetery) plays attractive thief, Elsa who is one of the victims. This isn't a bad Italian horror flick (except for the dubbing) featuring a decent cast, good, bloody effects and great score. If you like horror or mystery flicks, give this a try.

callanvass An American writer named Peter Neal is stalked by a mysterious serial killer that is using Neal's novel as inspiration for his murders. Neal is immediately suspected of murders by the police. I've seen this three times. Every time I've watched it, my opinion on it hasn't changed. I think it is a "good" , but not great film. It moves a little too slowly for my liking at times. Argento's direction is as wild and stylish as ever. His use of colors, POV shots, among other crafty things, never fail to astound me (Check out that amazing chase scene involving a rabid dog) , I just wish he paced this film better. When it is good, it is very good. When it isn't, it turns into tedium. The gore is very explicit. An arm is chopped off in very bloody detail, the finale is loaded with blood as well. I'm not going to spoil all the goodies for you. You'll be satisfied, trust me. Argento also has a penchant for the bizarre as well. Wait until you see a dream sequence that commences periodically in the film. The killer at the end is actually somewhat surprising. It was a twist I didn't expect. The acting is fine for this sort of thing. Anthony Franciosa is solid as the lead. John Saxon has a part in this well, adding some class to the proceedings. Overall, I do like this movie. it has more than enough good things to make it worth your while, I just don't put it anywhere near the level of Suspiria or Deep Red like others do7.3/10
