Certainly Tenebre was one of his lesser impressive efforts, when compared to his 70s works. Yet it does have a strong visual impact ala most giallos, hence it is regarded up there with Argento's finest. For me, my Top 5 of Argento would be :
  • Suspiria
  • Deep Red
  • Phenomena
  • Inferno
  • Tenebre,

in that order.

Argento is not a narration, he is an experience.
