"Short on ideas."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3.5/4
"While Plumage may not demand active spectatorship, the two-killer theory of Tenebre and Stendhal Syndrome makes its first appearance in an Argento film."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

"Vivid mayhem"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

4/5
"If you're a fan of Argento, or just a fan of thriller films in general, then be sure and check out this under appreciated gem."  Mike Bracken's Horror Films  Mike Bracken

"... the story is only a structure for Argento to spin his painstakingly choreographed visions of violence and terror with a fluid camera and carefully controlled colors."  St@tic Multimedia  Sean Axmaker

9/10
"One of the most self-assured debuts of all time, a work so certain in its conception and execution that almost 40 years later I'd still quickly rank it as one of Argento's finest."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

3.5/4
"The genius of Argento once upon a time was the understanding that every mystery is, at its essence, existential and subjective."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
