Tenebrae (1982)
Der amerikanische Bestsellerautor Peter Neal kommt nach Rom, um sein neuestes Buch „Tenebre“ zu promoten. Noch während seiner Ankunft wird in Rom eine junge Ladendiebin, die sein Buch geklaut hat, bestialisch ermordet – auf eine Weise, wie sie im Buch beschrieben ist: In ihren Mund steckt der Mörder Seiten aus dem Buch. Kurz darauf erhält Neal Drohbriefe, die mit Zitaten aus seinem Buch versehen sind. Damit nicht genug, schlägt der Mörder ein weiteres Mal zu. Diesmal sind die Opfer zwei Lesben. Auch an diesem Tatort werden Seiten aus „Tenebre“ gefunden. Die Polizei sucht nach einem Zusammenhang mit dem beliebten Autor – dieser hält das Ganze noch für einen Zufall. Doch als es zu neuen Opfern kommt und er selbst in den Fokus des irren Killers rückt, ändert sich seine Einstellung. Zusammen mit seiner Assistentin versucht er, dem tödlichen Treiben auf die Spur zu kommen und gerät dabei selbst in erhebliche Gefahr.
