Rating:  - Swing'n'a Miss
If there's one thing I look forward to in the mail, it's an Argento movie. I loved some of his other films and couldn't wait to grab this movie. In the end, the overall plot is wonderful, though poorly executed. All the characters' personalities seem a bit off, one way or another. Too stiff, too strange, etc. And then there are MANY loose ends that keep the viewer hoping they will be answered at the end, but they aren't (for example, the anniversary necklace/bracelet, what is its meaning?).

Rating:  - Not really sure what to think of this one...
I am giving this movie 2 stars merely for the fact that it confused the HELL out of me and managed to leave me with way too many minor issues to truly love it.
The movie is about a young Opera understudy who finally gets a shot as the lead in a rather dramatic stage production of Macbeth, when the prima-donna star is hit by a car.
Argento is a HIGHLY skilled director and his movies are extremely eerie and visually stunning. Even the dizzying, odd angles that make ... Read More
Rating: - The last of Dario Argento's great movies
Following an accident involving the female lead, Betty makes her singing debut in an operatic production of "Macbeth". However, as everyone knows, "Macbeth" is cursed, and a psychotic fan surfaces, whose idea of fun is to tie Betty up and force her to watch him murder her co-workers. Will Betty solve the mystery and find the killer before he strikes again?
Many fans of Dario Argento believe that he was at his peak during the period between "Deep Red" and "Opera", making this the last of ... Read More
Rating: - 2.75 STARS: Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
There's nothing quite like Dario Argento's movies. It never ceases to amaze me how Argento is able to make a movie out of someone's worst nightmare, and that is essentially what the audience gets in the 1987 Argento movie, "Opera". I have wanted to see this movie for some time, but I just never got around to it. Argento's movies are the kind that can be tedious but very rewarding at the same time. "Opera", similar to "Tenebre", is not a "pure" horror movie so much as it is a mystery-horror hybrid. ... Read More
Rating: - "Ravens Never Forget"
"Opera" is a bizarre Italian giallo from director Dario Argento. For unknown reasons, someone is stalking a beautiful young opera singer (she resembles Heather Langenkamp of "Nightmare on Elm Street" fame); the killer likes to tie her up and force her to watch the butchering of her friends. "Opera" reminds me of Dario Argento's earlier giallo masterpieces such as "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage," "The Cat O' Nine Tails," and "Deep Red." It is far better than his recent movies such as "Phatom of the ... Read More
