Giallo, Dario Argento filmográfiájában leginkább a Mélyvörös című filmhez áll legközelebb - azaz véres gyilkosságok széles látószögű kamerával. Összességében azonban a Tenebre egy közepes alkotás, fél csillaggal gyengébb, mint a fent említett klasszikus. A rejtély és a hangulat ebben a filmben gyengébb, és a kamera is inkább csak kísér, mint kihangsúlyoz. A vérszint minden egyes gyilkossággal fokozódik, és a végén egy olyan jelenetben csúcsosodik ki, amely miatt egy másodpercet sem bánsz, amit az előző félgyilkosság megtekintésével töltöttél. Az alműfaj rajongóinak kötelező darab.

When he isn’t playing with crayons, making fun of feminists or staging one of his many baroquely spectacular murders, Dario Argento is constructing and deconstructing a detective story, simply and predictably, yet also entertainingly all the way to the bloody climax with a very unusual demonstration of how to paint a room red. 70%

Some tricks and the ending are a bit clumsy, but what must be acknowledged about the film is the absolutely superb music, which is the work of the band Goblin, with whom Dario frequently collaborated. To be more precise, the music was recorded by only three members of this otherwise four-member band. They are credited on the soundtrack as Simonetti-Morante-Pignatelli, not as Goblin. However, it is once again their music that elevates the film even further.

A very well crafted thriller. The story follows a classic, well-trodden template where the killer murders according to a book he is a fan of, so, nothing new. There’s also the final “surprising” twist, which at least for me was a bit predictable. What’s interesting, though, is the very stylish murder scenes, Argento uses a garish red-white contrast in each of them. White dresses, white walls (the scene when a severed hand scratches the entire pure white wall with an arcing motion is one of the most unforgettable), a white kitchen, a white sheet on a victim's body, and everywhere the red colour of blood fits like a glove. But I can’t say I was scared. Tenebrae is not a horror film, but rather a crime drama in which the murders are depicted in a slightly harsher way than is usual in this genre, which, of course, it’s to be expected from Argento.

The last of the better known Argento’s Giallo that I hadn’t seen, and I can’t say I’m particularly thrilled – though after my previous experiences, I wasn’t expecting much. I’ll say it again: Argento does have interesting ideas (mainly technically and artistically speaking), but he’s not that good as a director and the performances of the actors under his baton are amazing sometimes; Tenebrae is a typical example of this. At least there’s an above average number of murders, so there is something to look at and the film is not as boring as some of its predecessors... The climax is quite spectacular and improves the overall impression, but three stars is the most I’m willing to award.
