Yeah, I actually fell asleep during the film. The suspense just... wasn't there.

OR
"Education" as in
exposure to this particular genre so as to know what to expect?
Well, if you're talking about the latter, I believe that it was obvious in this post (and I know that I've appealed to HDC before with the same) that I have very little exposure to Italian Arthouse Horror and that one of my current goals is to rectify that.
If you're referring to the former definition of "Education," the actual
purpose of this thread is to claim utter ignorance on my part and appeal to the venerable HDC Italian Horror Masters Experts for guidance in watching this genre of film. And, also, on a more microcosmic level, open a discussion about Tenebre in particular.
SO,
Bub, in deference to what seems to be your
apparent education in
Giallo Cinema, please enlighten us.

And with the smarminess aside, this is obviously a call to Rod, V, Jenna, Doc, and others who have talked about Italian Horror before. I'd like to hear more. I feel like there's something I'm missing. :)
