Tenebre Page #5

Synopsis: With Argento's trademark visual style, linked with one of his more coherent plots, Tenebrae follows a writer who arrives to Rome only to find somebody is using his novels as the inspiration (and, occasionally, the means) of committing murder. As the death toll mounts the police are ever baffled, and the writer becomes more closely linked to the case than is comfortable.

I'm a detective right!

And you never guess who the

murderer is! - Right never.

You just remember, any bright

ideas, you let me know, ok?

You write these things but I

turn over real dead bodies!

Good bye, Capatain!

Well how did it go, ok?

Yes it's really.

I got his autogrpah! -Whose?

Eve Montant! - So what?

Could it be somebody I know?

Damn. I wish I'd never

written that book!

You don't mean that!

Hi! - Hi!

Mr. Bulmer left this down-

stairs for you.

Wait, I go down with you!

Is that a proposal?

If you like!

Ok, if you need me,

I'll be at home! -Go ahead!

Jane? Is that Jane?

Janne McKerrow? - I could

have sworn it was!

What's the prefix to

New York?

But, it's impossible -

she is in New York -

She never strays 10 miles

from her shrink - Here!

Jane McKerrow. I am out for

the moment. Would you leave

your name, number and

message after the tone?

It was Jane!

But she'd call you. If only

to scream at you!

She wouldn't even be here if

it wasn't to try to get you

back or apologize.

Apologize for what?

For what she did to,

oh god forget it...

My Travel Bag. You think it

was Jane? I never said it was

I am going home,

no more puzzles!

Anne, do you think Jane

could have done that?

Bye - Bye, See you later!

No. I told you I don't give

a damn! You understand?

Why don't you say something?

Go f*** yourself!

Bastard!

Help Me. Is anybody home?

Hello there!?

Is anybody here? Help me.

Isn't anybody here? Please.

Oh god, please help me.

The door was open and I was

attacked by a dog!

Spy!

Damn litte Spy.

No. Leave me alone.

What do you want from me?

"I grieve for this child."

Her death was the only way

"to be free to go on!"

"I will eliminate those who"

"disgust me." The human"

perverts soon now the

"corruptor himself."

Me.

Be careful. This killer is

also very well informed.

He knew you're here! Knows

you've an agent here where h

can send the letter. And he

also knows it's be dangerous

to come around to your place

coz the girl, I mean Maria,

was living in your building!

You need me anymore today,

Captain?

No, No Mr. Neal...

But I'd like you to stay in

your appartement if possible

because this last message

threatens you personally.

By the way I finished your

book. You know what?

I knew on Page 30 who the

killer was. For the 1st time

Oh. I can't do this!

Going through your address-

book, trying to pick out

crazy people it's crazy!

Why me, why - because, coz

I have corrupted, he says!

Or she says!

She right! Trying to

eliminate the human

perverts.

Christiano Berti

the TV critic called

"Tenebrae" a novel about"

appartent behaviour and

human perversion.
