“The poetry was in the gore, but in the American version the gore was cut out. Flat. How could these wet souls not love seeing through the specular glass? The blood, spattered over the kitchen cabinets…”
—Kevin Killian, “Tenebrae”
In this taut, meta-slasher from horror master Dario Argento, an American horror novelist on a promotional tour for his latest chiller finds himself in a story he can’t write his way out of when he crosses paths with a razor-wielding lunatic on a killing spree in Rome. TENEBRE is paired with Kevin Killian’s Argento Series, which uses the “films of Dario Argento as a prism through which to take apart the horror of living and dying in the AIDS era.”
Featuring a post-film discussion and a pop-up shop on Sunday, April 6. Argento Series is available for purchase at Alienated Majesty Books, in-person or online here.
