Giallo spotlight: "Tenebre"

Join Movie Club Member Kyle C. for the next movie in his giallo series. Here's how it works: 1. We will be meeting at Dot's Cafe, 2521 SE Clinton St., on Sunday, April 12 from 4-6pm 2. Grab some food and drinks and we'll spend some time discussing this masterpiece. (NOTE: Just like a book club, we watch the movie before we meet, streaming links below) **Movie Spotlight:** Dario Argento's 1982 film **Tenebre** follows American crime novelist Peter Neal, who travels to Rome to promote his latest book and finds himself drawn into a series of murders that seem to echo the violent themes in his writing. As the killings escalate, Neal becomes entangled with investigators, colleagues, and strangers who may not be what they seem, and the line between his fiction and the unfolding crimes grows increasingly blurred. The story blends giallo style with psychological tension, using misdirection, shifting perspectives, and a sun‑drenched Roman setting to build unease. The central question—why someone is recreating scenes reminiscent of Neal’s work—drives the narrative without giving away the eventual revelations. Tips: 1. Haven't seen the movie before? You're in for a treat - try to watch the movie sometime before we meet ([Streaming Options](https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/eyeball) include Amazon Prime and free ad-based steamers including Kanopy, Hoopla nad Plex.) Just like a book club we don't watch the movie at our meetup, just discuss it. You don't have to watch the movie to join us, but it'll be more fun if you can. 2. I usually take a few notes while I watch to keep from forgetting the most interesting stuff. If you think of some interesting discussion topics while you watch, bring 'em with you! 3. We'll decide on our next giallo movie to watch! Come with suggestions. Are you not that familiar with the giallo genre? Read the [Wikipedia entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giallo) to learn more. Is there a giallo you'd like to propose the group watch and discuss next?…
