Do you think "Tenebrae" is one of Argento's best films?
Idk about best but definitely overlooked
I really enjoy Suspiria myself.
Yes! Absolutely! It's up there with Deep Red, Phenomena, Suspiria, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Opera and right above Sleepless and Inferno. Beautiful Movie!
Absolutely. My 3rd fave Argento movie. Suspirira being number 1 and Deep Red being number 2
Meh
With a killer using a straight razor, this would've been the perfect Brandon Tenold video to be sponsored by MANSCAPE.
yeah
I guess that most of the murders happened in square spaces?
...Who the hell uses a straight razor on their BALLS?
😂😂😂🤣
@@martincann5052 you have no idea how common it is to do that
"When the hell did my walls get painted?" should be the response to every blood splatter reveal.
The whole ''shoplifter tries to get herself out of trouble by offering sex''-part, was like straight up out of some oldschool pron movie.
Also, the Dan ''Get her in the van'' Schneider joke was gold.
That "oldschool" scenario is still in use today. There are no new things under the sun, even in porn.
how about we call it "classic" then lol
Dan "the man with the master plan to get her into his van" Schneider
Lainie Kazan ran straight out of a grocery store w/o paying for a whole shopping cart some yrs ago
Of course it wouldve been too much for Dan. Shes legal.
So sad that both John Saxon and Daria Nicolodi are no longer among us - this was still a career high for them as it was for Dario! RIP
I was friendly with Daria and I miss her very much.
@@ConstantineFurman i think someone forged his signature , John likely had Alzheimer yet the signatures the last few yrs had no signs of shaking , prolly his wife just pocketed the money. I think she was legit jealous of the attention John got at cons , same thing with Hamills wife. Pat Moritas widow sold 100s of sgd KK movie posters that were by all accounts forged , not sgd by Pat......a KK poster sgd by Pat is vhtf
I think the real reason Brandon keeps bringing up Dracula 3D is because he secretly loves it and it gives him an excuse to keep showing footage from his favorite film
No one loves that movie. No one.
@@michaelthomas5433 no one? Not one single human?
@@burtonmoore996 I have heard that even the vampires from Twilight mock this Dracula. So I say again, no one. Not a single being, nor even an animal. Cats, dogs and fish turn away from the screen when it is playing. Make of that what you will good sir.
@@burtonmoore996 I think that it's the greatest film ever made
@@michaelthomas5433 I like it.
Better than some other versions of Dracula anyway.
I just got back from a trip to Italy and there's this awesome store in rome called profondo rosso. The whole store is horror themed has tons of original argento and fulcci movie posters and more
And Luigi Cozzi runs the store. You probably saw him in there and didn't even realize it.
It really feels like Argento did his best work when he was married to and/or collaborating with Daria Nicolodi. There was a noticeable downturn when they stopped being together.
RIP Daria.
Absolutely! I wondered if I was the only one to have ever noticed that, and that is a serious downturn.
That's a fine point
Daria wrote "Suspiria" and "Inferno." Argento contributed, yes, but she was the real writer. She said she had to jump through so many hoops just to get co-billing for "Suspiria" (likely due to rampant misogyny in the Italian film industry) that when it came time to make "Inferno," she just said to hell with it and didn't even bother trying.
He was never married to her.
@@Fedorevsky Eh, we'd consider it "common law" married in the U.S., but yeah, that's technically correct (the best kind of correct).
This was Argento's biggest attempt to be Hitchcock. I still love the twist ending.
It's odd, I go back and forth. Sometimes it works for me, and others I think, "Okay, that's a bit much." There's so much to like about the film that usually I just roll with it.
@@runcible4755 Well, Argento is ALWAYS "a bit much".
its a unique but the clue was right there on the film. First killer use a razor, with the second using a ax
Goblin fact: the lyrics of the main theme are composed only by the word "paura" infinitely repeated, that means "fear"
As someone who has for so long wondered who "Paula" was... This makes a lot more sense.
for a moment i thought this was about an anime for some reason lol. but that's pretty interesting thanks.
I found this out recently, watching a TV adaptation of "La Valle Della Paura"... translated as, "The Valley Of Fear". It's an Italian SHERLOCK HOLMES series, which so far has never been available WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. And I don't speak or read Italian... but, somehow, I enjoyed it anyway.
@@jmalmsten 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me personally, "Tenebrae" is second only to "Suspiria" as Argento's masterpiece. That climax shocked the everliving fuck out of me the first time I saw it, and it still shocks me. Brilliant filmmaking by a Master at the top of his form.
Deep Red, it's the only one of Argento movies where screenplay and dialogues actually don't suck, because it was written by one of the Bertolucci's screenwriters. Argento and Daria did the story and rough screenplay but he fixed the dialogues.
Argento was amazing visual director, but his characters were always just in function, they didn't really ever feel like actual people. They were just props to push the plot forward. Deep Red however has some actual character development and people talking.
Also Opera is pretty amazing, it had some of the wildest Argento camera work, despite, once again, story being pretty forgettable.
Love the Death Scene with Saxon right in broad daylight, with skaters skating in the background and the killer just straight-up shanks him, lol

Skinny Puppy had a music video for the song Worlock that used a bunch of clips from this film. The razor hitting the lightbulb always stood out.
I'm just happy someone remembers Skinny Puppy!
Tenebrae is a masterpiece! The acting is amazing, the dubbing, and the twist ending! Great!
consistently one of the best shows on RUclips.
1982 was one of the best years for Cinema here in the United States.
I miss the 80s. :(
I don't remember Morbius releasing on 1982.
1983 too, hell they're still making movies made in 1983... well Panos Cosmatos anyway.
Something tells me Dracula 3D left an impression. Here's hoping we get more Video Nasty's. It's nice to see what used to passed for Too Extreme.
Seeing Dracula turn into a giant CGI mantis & shank a guy is bound to leave an impression.
@@TheBrandonTenold just wait until you see Mother of Tears.
Certain movies on the Nasties list certainly belong there. Others have you thinking, "Why the hell is this on the list?! Did they even watch this movie?"
I enjoyed the dracula 3d movie. It was interesting & I was entertained 😂 I was like wtf a lot..
@@ashleyguillory9552 Also The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Barely any violence in that movie. Also The Funhouse is great!
dont know why but i laughed my ass off at the "when the hell did my walls get painted". great video as always dude.
The mustachioed creep is played by British actor John Steiner who played in many Italian B movies. He was the leaderprice Galactic Emperor at the end of Yor, Hunter from the future. And maybe you could have mentioned Dario Argento directed a new film almost a year ago called Dark Eyes that is restoring his reputation as a director, to counterbalance with the Dracula 3D obsession.
Great 80`s B actor , what a filmography he had, another who passed recently.
To be fair is not just Dracula 3D what has somewhat tanked his reputation, since the early to mid 90s almost all he has done is mediocre at best when not straight dogshit, one could be inclined to think that at some point he was whacked over the head with a heavy object and forgot everything about directing.
He's pretty good in Bava's Shock.
Tenebrae feels like a novel in Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series
Take a shot every time Brandon visually rags on Dracula 3-d.
I don't think my liver could take it
@@fiestyfairy4471 😁
I love Tenebrae! Finding out the killer at the end really got me the first time I watched it.
Also I watched Craze (1974) and this would be a great review. A crazy Jack Palance chewing scenery the whole movie. 😂
seeing that praying mantis made me think it could be from a grimdark version of A Bugs Life with Manny doing the slicing and dicing
As always,thanks so much for the laughs. Brandon Tenold,the act that Mystery Science Theatre wished it was!
well, current Nolan Mst3k sure.
you're not touching the witt of Kevin Murphy so easily
@@TemmiePlays A fair comment!👍
The bit at the end about the wall color killed me. I kept thinking that the entire time I was watching.
Brandon is a legitimate comic genius. His imitators just aren't on his level.
The dubbing is top notch, as usual.
Especially the shoplifting strumpet 😂
I love the variety in Brandons selections.
This film is playing at a theater near me next month, and I was wondering if I should go. Perfect timing!
This is an amazing, movie and one of Argento's best. R.I.P Daria Nicolodi
I saw this way back in the late 90's on IFC around Halloween, uncut, and loved it ever since.
Tenebrae feels like this movie could've occured in a timeline where COVID was more like the Spanish Flu
Do ALL the video nasties!!!
Huh, you know with all the points and sharp edges on that art piece, one stab through the gut was a shockingly clean kill using it. Bravo Sir Tenold, another masterpiece of a review.
if the dog was indeed the killer then Tenebrae would be a great R-rated Scooby Doo movie
Or a Silent Hill plot.
Glad that out of his selection of great films you picked this! I was so enthralled on the first watch and that soundtrack is banging. I love Phenomena most, even though its pretty flawed. Entertaining video as always :-) ❤
Another Outstanding job Brandon- THANKS!!! & PLEASE KEEP EM COMING I ENJOY EVERY EPISODE!!!!
Thank you for all the free entertainment you provide it is of top notch quality and I look forward to it with every video 😁
I love Dario Argento! And seeing you review them is a win-win 🥰

Thank you good Sir. Your insights and sarcasm make great viewing.
I love when BT does 70's & 80s movies. Thanks!
I've been meaning to check out Argento's other films, so thanks for the review!
Wow, thank you, Brandon, for finding this gem!)
great job on the redecorating Brandon
your expression on the dracula review is what sold me on your channel, and i've never looked back. 😁😁😁
That twist ending and subsequent kill were awesome! Unlike most movies Brandon reviews this is one I'd definitely watch!

Great review! I'm going to watch this movie--- looks like fun! Makes me wonder where I was back in the 80's to have missed it. I had lots of fun back then, but somehow missed a bunch of movies. They are timeless though, great to watch them now.

I love Brandon's variety in films reviewed. If I remember right he's done Giallo before.

Great video, man.
And Friday the 13th was the total king of POV shots. Syskel and Ebert had a real field day with that POV of the killer shot. Lol!
if it's set in Milan the whole shoplifting aspect checks out
That brief clip of the doll walking in was the CREEPIEST thing ever seen~ Jeeze if saw that as a kid would ran out of the room.

Amazing movie, very entertaining cult movie review - well done!
Loved the Dan Schneider joke 😂😂

man I love Prime Argento, I can't remember rather it's Bird with the Crystal plumage or Deep Red, or maybe another but a very simple scene of the camera panning across the darkness when the killer opens their eyes was so amazing to me. I just love the look of everything he did all the way into the 90s.
I do enjoy your content mate, a splendid effort

8:33= "Oh shit, it's the ASMR killer!" OK, Brandon, I'm making this the title of my screenplay :). I'll credit you of course.
thumbnail explained here: 09:36
great video! :D
Yep, Brandon is right. Min 3:15 the voice over is reading part of the first line and as the camera scrolls, it reads the words below.
Mr.Tenold, I appreciate you.
No joke, this is a really good one. This and Deep Red are my favourite Giallo movies.
The paint was a message from the ninja's. They can get you anytime anywhere. :)
Very nice Brandon. That shirt is the perfect size for you.

You should do a video on The Centrefold Girls. Amazing proto-slasher.
Hey thanks! That reading at the beginning is used by Velvet Acid Christ. I've heard it hundreds of times and never knew where it came from.

A great Dario Argento film I recommend is 'Phenomena' (aka 'Creepers' in the US - don't want the US cut, it removes some scenes). It's got gore, mystery, death, and Jennifer Connolly in her first ever lead role...... playing a character who is named Jennifer (makes things easy, I guess). Another neat piece of trivia about the movie is that it inspired the cult classic video game series 'Clock Tower', where the protagonist looks like Jennifer Connolly's character in the movie..... and is also named Jennifer.
Jennifer!
that is actually a good twist. I have seen similar ones at times, but it is still rare.

Good timing! Just happened to have a full biwl right here 👍
18:15 "Ah!, the guy who got murdered by the killer is the killer". 🤣👍
Thank you.
I remember renting it as The Unsane In a North Carolina video rental shoppe. I spent a whole dollar on it. There was a D.C. band by the same name. It would be lost to the winds of time if I hadn't returned it.
Loved the Shocking Reveal at the end, reminds me of the 80's Film (The Prey) great great movie. 🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍

Hope eventually Brandon will do a video about the weird and awesome trip of a movie that is Argento's Phenomena.

Alright! Brandon's reviewing one of my most favorite Italian slasher movies!
Here's to hope that he checks out Stagefright in the near future.
Britain: bans Tenebre
Half a century later on RUclips: welp, gotta have a sponsor.
17:10 Nah, it's just Argento being Argento. He was known to give some weird answers whenever he talked about his movies. I met him about 20 years ago, he was really chill down to Earth guy, but he's textbook definition of mad scientist. He was obsessed with cats and insects.
Don an '80s-Thon! What an era for cult movies! Dr. Caligari! Liquid Sky! Videodrome! Repo Man!
I'd like to see Liquid Sky covered by Brandon just to see his reactions. What a bizarre movie.
Great video

I'd honestly like to see you review The Terror Within 1+2
I wonder what Brandon’s thoughts on Dracula 3-D are.
Congratulations you’re the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package…
Death by abstract art was still the most Italian forms of murder in the early 1980s. Good to know.
Definitely one of Argento's best and Anthony Franciosa plays up his characters final denouement magnificently as he squirms into impaled oblivion.

The murder sequence with the tracking camera is Argento at his best! It is stylish and sleazy AF. Prime Giallo.

I honestly didn't realize the wall color changed until you said something.
In case you didn't notice they are all Italian actors except for Saxons. Which is still dubbed in by his voice.
"When did my walls get painted?" Dude that caught me so off guard I damn near choked on my drink.
One thing I'm not clear about: Is this movie better than _Dracula 3D_ or not?
Even better, is it better than Mother of Tears?
LITTLE BIT O' TRIVIA: THE "WOMAN ON THE BEACH WAS BIOLOGICALLY A MAN..."Eva Robin's (born Roberto Maurizio Coatti; 10 December 1958) is a transgender Italian actress, model, and activist from Bologna, Italy. Perhaps best known for her role in Dario Argento's 1982 giallo film Tenebrae. Eva was assigned male at birth. (B.S.) From the age of about thirteen she says she felt she was female."...SO, THERE'S THAT.
Fun fact: The soundtrack by Goblin would go on to be sampled by the electronic group Justice for the song "The Phantom Pt. 2"

Yes, allow your hatred to flow and the 90s Argento to consume you.
The woman in the flashbacks is cult transgender actress Eva Robin's (yes, it's spelled with the apostrophe).

Brandon, with all the highest of regards and niceties, will you do either Ghoulies, or perhaps Maniac Cop. Either would be pure gold for you.

17:36 funnily enough, the first time I watched *Tenebrae* I called out the skinny guy in the house.. right before he got the axe to the head. _Then_ I called out John Saxon.. less than a minute before this scene. By the time I got to the end, I was thinking "who the hell IS it?! Everyone I keep guessing is the killer gets killed!"

WARNING: There is a muppet pretending to be Brandon using his thumbnail and a really lousy channel name who is trying to scam people in the comments of older videos (maybe this one too but haven't seen it so far...) by saying you have won a competition and requires you to DM them... Reply with the worst insults you can and then report them.
Also great video Brandon :)
