1980's Flashbacks DVD

Advantages: NON POLITICAL
Disadvantages: RUBBISH ACTING

...Sunday afternoon weather outside is terrible and I am getting over a bad cold so I decided to watch Munich the dvd. I had high hopes for this DVD prior to viewing having read a book about the Munich massacre and seen the excellent documentary One Day in September 1999. However I was very disappointed by the film, which tells of the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes in the Olympic games in Munich in 1972, which is the factual part of the film and The Israel government's response to the massacre, which is considered to be part fiction/part fact. The actual fact of the kidnap and massacre of the athletes is told in various flashbacks throughout the film, which I thought was a major fault of the film. The kidnapping and massacre of the athletes should have been shown at the start of the film as anyone unfamiliar with the story... Read review

...A nice Hitchcock style piece of intrigue. This would be an awesome movie if they'd just cut out the profanity. A big ship supposedly containing drugs recently burned up. Only two people survived a seriously injured Hungarian, and "Verbal". The cops grill verbal as to what exactly happened. The rest of the movie is flashback, only we really don't know what is real and what isn't. Only at the very end do all the pieces fit together. A well done job. You really don't have any idea until the very end.... Read review

Disadvantages: The movie will never get its full potential of viewers

That was back in 1984, and it took until 1999 for the film to be re-released in another revolutionary format known as DVD. It was a further 3 years before UK audiences got to see the movie uncut for the first time. I first came across Tenebrae in 1999 after a 4 year hunt for the movie, I was most surprised when it appeared legally on UK shores only 4 months after it was announced that the film would probably never be seen again. I'd been a fan of Dario Argento (the movies Director) since the 1980's and Tenebrae proved to be my second favourite of his films. The film had a combination... Read review
