Completely agree with the points Doc raises. Of course the characterization and editing was somewhat different from other Argento movies, and that maybe deters some from its main theme of being a solid slasher movie.

Most of the Italian movies of those times suffered from the bad dubbing problem...which was worse in Tenebre...but dubbing notwithstanding, I thought it was a great slasher overall and had a good script and fine performances to back it up. It was a signature movie from Argento's movie-making table.

Very nicely dissected, I must say...Doc, tony and Jenna. Its good to see people appreciate and criticize a movie at the same time. This is great stuff...

Love-hate relationships have been a huge factor in many movies' popularity. Its very rare to get a movie which EVERYONE loves or EVERYONE hates (except some complete and utter crap and nonsense). The haters manage to find some positives in a movie they hate, and that is good. But yet, why do the haters find it hard to accept

Army of Darkness

in the same league of its illustrious predecessors, Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2?

After all, it added a whole new dimension to the Ash saga and built up on the horror/comedy factor of Evil Dead 2.

Then why the indifference?

Bring on the bashings!!!
