Generally regarded as one of Italian horror maestro Dario Argento's finest films, Shadows (AKA Tenebre) marked the director's return to the giallo genre in which he first made his name, after making two supernatural themed films, Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980).

Shortly after American mystery-thriller novelist Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) arrives in Rome to promote his new book, an attractive young woman is murdered by a razor-wielding maniac who stuffs pages of Neal's latest novel into the mouth of his victim before slashing her throat.

So begins a bizarre series of horrific murders, the details of which strangely resemble the fictional murders in Neal's book. Baffled by the killings, the local police believe the author may hold the key to solving the case and turn to him for help... A superbly orchestrated suspense thriller, Shadows is a shockingly horrific orgy of graphic violence, set to a pounding score by Argento regulars Goblin and beautifully shot by Suspiria cinematographer Lucio Tovoli.
