Tenebre (1968)

A terrific Giallo from the Italian maestro, Dario Argento. Author Peter Neal arrives in Rome to publicise his latest book, Tenebre, and finds that someone is killing peoiple in ways very similar to his novel and the bodies have pages of the novel stuffed in their mouth. The author decides to investigate.

Argento is on great form here and the film charges along with some gory killings and twists and turns and a little bit of skin. I did manage to guess the outcome but not without being deliciously baffled at times. It all wraps up perfectly and leaves you thoroughly satisfied with the notion that you have just watched one of the best Giallos there is. Superb..
