Summary

An American mystery novelist travels to Rome to promote his latest book, only to find that a killer is murdering people in ways inspired by his writing. As the bodies pile up and the police investigate, the author becomes entangled in the case and tries to uncover the identity of the murderer who seems obsessed with his work.

Released in 1982, Tenebrae is a horror, mystery and thriller film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 518 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 187 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 190 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
