English subtitles for Italian audio, English subtitles for Italian parts of the incomplete English dubs, and English SDH subtitles for the English dub OCRed, proofed and corrected.
Note : The 80s were brought a weird mix of genres, and Argento was no exception. Here, after doing a few supernatural horror films, and then returning to giallo with Tenebre, he mixes the two, with a bit of a slasher influence. The results is interesting, if uneven, with brutal killings mixed with somewhat ludicrous supernatural stuff, and an ending that, well, it truly has to be seen to be believed.
A very young Jennifer Connelly stars (she takes the lead once Argento gleefully dispatches a young girl played by his own daughter Fiore in the opening sequence), along with Argento's long-time partner Daria Nicolodi, horror stalwart Donald Pleasence, and assorted Italians (including a small appearance by Michele Soavi, and the headmistress being played by Dalila Di Lazzaro, who was the female monster in Flesh for Frankenstein). Connelly's character is sent to an exclusive boarding school in Switzerland, where young girls are being mysteriously murdered. Luckily, she befriend's Pleasence's wheelchair-bound forensic entomologist and his pet chimp, who serves as his assistant, and they figure out that she has the power to telepathically control insects. It gets weirder from there. And, again, the fucking ending. Just watch it.
This 4k remaster is quite good looking, nice and sharp, good grain without being overwhelming, good color (I could perhaps have wished for a little more saturation), and the sound remasters are good as well. Our old buddy Troy Howarth shows up for one of his usual informative and amusing commentary tracks. All in all, pretty much the definitive version.
