Opera
Directed by Dario Argento
A stalker torments an opera star by forcing her to watch her friends being murdered in one of giallo horror god Dario Argento’s most terrifying films. When young operetta Betty is thrust into a leading role in Verdi’s Macbeth, she’s unprepared for the carnage that’s going to be unleashed. Soon enough she’s being stalked by a black-gloved killer who loves tieing Betty up and taping needles around her eyes so she - and by extension us - are forced to watch the vicious slayings. The great Brian Eno and Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti composed the stellar score.

"She is the captive audience. They are the unrehearsed players. Evil is the true star."
"Poetic." Incredible opera talent and production. Loved the artistic elements throughout. Good story.
I thought it was engaging, but it wasn't gelling for me as much as other Argento films for some reason. But the ending raised it a lot in my estimation.
great movie, hate the ending and motive of the killer
Very good, Argento doing Argento, hard to be disappointed. Bullet in the peephole scene… fantastic.
