Movie of the day…Tenebrae (1982). Impressive giallo mystery about a crazed killer using the events in a novel as the inspiration for his crimes. And then he sends letters to the author about it. But who is it? The TV interviewer who seems a little too interested in the author? The obsessed woman to whom he was engaged? The police captain who is investigating the case and who admits to being a fan of his novels?

Where is the line between thriller and horror? There is probably no single answer that fits every film, but the character of the killer is certainly one of the places where horror lives. In Tenebrae, the killer is not just killing for personal gain, but with a diseased love for terror and cruelty. Written and directed by Dario Argento. Lots of twists and turns. Great cinematography. Some disturbing scenes of grisly violence.

Rating: B+
