In a way, it could be [Argento's] most personal film.

Reviews for Dario Argento's Tenebre

Unpleasant even by contemporary horror standards.

The film synthesizes all the familiar Argento motifs (psycho killers, bloody violence, convoluted plot twists, pulse pounding music) into an almost perfect symphony of fear that overcomes many of his traditional shortcomings.

[Argento has] removed the boring detective work and given us a ripping good mystery that doesn't always make sense, but never fails to entertain.
02/14/01
Tenebre is possibly Argento's most overtly sexual film, and at the heart of it lies an all-too human fascination with sexuality in all of its desirable and frightening forms.
05/23/08
Tenebre is a brilliant piece of self-reflexive cinema.
12/04/01
Gory but not particularly effective Argento horror flick, complete with his usual touches: secret villain, topless Italian beauties, and an overbearing organ score.
04/20/03
If it looks like trash and smells like trash and photographs like trash, then it probably is trash.

Tenebre is nearer to body of Argento’s filmography, and seems like an homage to his early gialli; in comparison it marks the extent of the director’s progressive evolution. Tenebre is among Argento’s best films.
09/17/02
Argento's most coherent film and one of his most shocking.
07/22/03
Not the director's best
