Best Scenes... (spoilers obviously)


1. Lesbian killings (especially the long tracking shot going over the roof with the great music to it)
2. Jane's killing (loved the way she painted that white wall red)
3. Dog.


Just my opinion of course... Anyone has others?

I'll go with the first one you mentioned. It's in the TOP 3 deaths counting all the Argento's movies. That was some great work.

WHAT ABOUT THE ENDING!? It goes beyond the arm chopping.

I think it's easily Argento's best and most graphic ending. The rain, Jane getting her arm chopped off and both police detectives getting wacked with the axe is terrifying. Oh and the fake blood squirting razor, what a twist! Don't forget about Daria Nicolodi screaming her brains out, truly argento's most well put together movie in terms of plot, characters, lighting, and murders. Would you agree?

Don't get me wrong- Suspiria is his best in my opinion, but Tenebre is the absolute second.

1. Lesbian killings
2. The final girl's chase scene with the dog (and then the killer)
3. John Saxon's random murder

Nobody can make me feel like *beep*

The ending and the dog chase; that doberman was badass!

To me, the dobermann chase was indeed a hightlight. And the way he twisted Ye Ole "two killers and something you see is not wwhat it means" schtick.
BTW "Profondo Rosso" remains my favorite Argento, for its near-perfect construction !
