Thumbs up AXEcellent work of Argento!

There's a scene in TENEBRE where the main character, Peter Neal, says, "All detection is boring. But, if you cut out the boring bits and keep the rest, you've got a best-seller." That's what director Dario Argento has done with this film - removed the boring detective work and given us a ripping good mystery with plenty of gore...axe in the head, slit throat, stabbings but the the best one is at the end when a victim's arm is chopped off with an axe and the blood splatters the white wall behind her (my signature!;) ).....definitely made it one of the greatest slasher of all time.
