Tenebrae

Terror Beyond Belief!

Tenebrae – Screening the week of May 2!

Advance ticket info coming soon for Tenebre!

After cracking skulls and souls with the supernatural one-two punch of Suspiria and Inferno, Dario Argento went back to basics with Tenebrae — a brilliant Giallo and one of the filmmaker’s most assured achievements.
The story follows a famous horror novelist who, while promoting his latest book in Rome, finds himself at odds with a black-gloved lunatic on a mutilation spree.
With stylized comic book visuals, a killer synth score from members of Goblin, and a pre-Scream, meta-enhanced exploration of violence, there’s no reason to think about anything except how amazing it feels to be smitten with this movie.

4/4 Stars! “Dario Argento’s masterpiece” (Slant)

“The film is a classic…a must-see” (Cinema Crazed)

“a stunning slasher film” (Films Fatale)

“Italian horror master Dario Argento elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982’s Tenebrae…a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless!” (IFC Center)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

A razor-wielding serial killer is on the loose, murdering those around Peter Neal, an American mystery author in Italy to promote his newest novel.
