Product Description

When young opera singer Betty takes over the leading role in an avant-garde presentation of Verdi's Macbeth, she triggers the madness of a crazed fan who repeatedly forces her to watch the brutal murders of her friends. Will her recurring childhood nightmare hold the key to the identity of this psychopath, or does an even more horrific evil lay waiting in the wings? Legendary horror maestro Dario Argento delivers a savagely stunning thriller featuring some of the most shocking sequences of his entire career, and this version soars to horrific new heights with a dazzling 2K scan.

Killer Kitty 79

Opera, Too Werid For My Liking

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

After watching Dario Argento, The Church I was hoping Opera would be better. While this film was well shot and stylish however the story wasn't that good and at times got weird. (Spoiler Alert)

The film follows, Betty an young opera singer who takes the world by storm after the another opera singer, Mara Cecova got inquired when a car stuck her. After finishing the show of "Macheth" an crazed fan begins stalking Betty and forces her to watch the people she knows being murdered by having her tied up and needles taped on her eye leads. However after the killer is finish he'll cut the rope leaving Betty alone to untie herself. She becomes terrified of when the killer is gonna strike next.

The opera director, Marco comes up with a idea to catch the killer. Earlier, the killer broke into the costume room and tears Betty's dress she wore, while he's doing this the ravens break out of their cage which he kills 3 of them as the ravens attack him. The owner states that ravens don't forget anyone who makes them angry. So during a opera show they release the ravens and attacks a police officer, Alan who turns out to be killer as he looses his left eye.

After trying to escape Alan captures Betty and ties her up to a chair. Alan tells her that, Betty's mother forced him to rape and kill women then have sex. After murdering her, he's been forcing her to watch the death of her friends to release the souls of the suffering. Alan sets the room on fire and Betty is able to break free again after Alan gave Betty his gun allowing her to shot the rope.

Betty and Marco are somewhere in the country side getting ready for some big opera when the TV that's on states the killer, Alan wasn't dead and used another body that was burnt to fake his death. Alan kills Marco and goes to finish of Betty but she tricks Alan thinking that she's turned on by the murders and wants to run away with him. However once Alan has his back turned, Betty grabs a rock and smacks it on his head when a squad of police and soldiers show up arresting Alan. Betty lies on the grass and enjoys the nature around her knowing she is finally safe.

I find it odd how quickly Betty is claim and able to continue working after the death of two of her friends. Also the whole reason why the Alan was doing this doesn't make sense. Was it true what he was really saying or did Alan just make it up as excuse to kill people. If the story was written better and filled in the answers the viewers want to know then I might have liked it.

One of Argento's last masterpieces!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don't think there's a director with such equal strengths and weaknesses as Dario Argento. His visuals and camerawork are some of the best the horror genre will ever see, but his scripts always seem to underwhelm. Argento returned to familiar giaillo territory with Opera and myself and many consider it to be his last great film. In terms of style and suspense this is easily one of his best works, and one of his bloodiest. The story is extremely simplistic and shares more than a few things in common with Argento's other works, but his knack for building suspense and creating grisly set-pieces keeps the pace rolling. Unfortunately the film has a pointless and silly epilogue that kinda drags things down, but otherwise this is an entertaining, disturbing and visually stunning film that remains one of Argento's best. A must see!

I really like this movie. I think it's one of Argento's best. The reason I only give it 3 stars is due to the presentation from Scorpion. Anchor Bay did a special two disc (DVD) version which the extras were not included on this blu ray version. I have kept my Anchor Bay DVD version for the extras

1987 Theatre of the Absurd

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've watched a number of giallo movies with several from Argento and just realized they're really nuts! Absurd situations, crazy detectives and murders that are not only bizarre but illogical most of the time. I find myself laughing at most of the scenes. Like in this film there's a scene where the woman is forced to see her "boyfriend" getting murdered in the dumbest way possible and afterwards she's released by the killer and just sort of wanders off...no police, no questioning by authorities...I mean it looks like she's thinking "Worst date ever" as she leaves the murder scene. Crazy! Anyway, Argento's film seem pretty funny with the right frame of mind.

THANK YOU FOR NOT POSTING THIS TITLE IN ITALIAN!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

LIKE SO MANY OTHER AMAZING GIALLO MOVIES AMAZON INSISTS ON POSTING IN ITALIAN EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE FILMED IN ENGLISH ORIGINALLY. THANK YOU FOR NOT DOING THAT TO THIS ONE!!!!! AT LEAST I CAN WATCH ONE OF THEM!!!

And the film is such a Masterpiece visually that I cannot help but re-watch it to engage in its exquisite absurdity. The actress is beautiful, the music is beautiful and the opera scenes are beautiful.

My only gripe is I knew who the killer was from close to the beginning, but that's probably because I always assume everybody is the killer in a Giallo movie.

Superb 80s Giallo.

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

This movie is excellent giallo. The plot is interesting and keeps you watching. The writing is on track and it doesn't get lazy anywhere. The acting too is serious and well-performed. There is a little gore but too over the top. The suspense is real. This is just a solid effort all around. If giallo is your thing then this a must see.

Dumb and goofy slasher

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

Initial attempt at being smart and cultured by being about an opera production falls flat as weird, experimental camera angles and willful obfuscation of subjects through contrived staging punctuates vacuous dialog and yields an overall unwatchable experience. Could not watch more than half an hour. Maybe the last five minutes of the movie would have turned it around, but at what cost?

Almost what i might think horror porn is

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

Think Phantom of the Opera but morally ambiguous. There is a back story that is very important to the main heroine. Think of her as our Christine Dae. Her watcher is more sadistic and cruel but no less obsessed. My only gripe is sometimes is the voice over and the lips synching sometimes is not good.

An Operatic Masterpiece Of Terror - Dario Argento On Top Form!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is an Arrow release on DVD (in 2002), of Argento’s 1987 horror classic. And, presented in anamorphic widescreen. In addition to opera music, the soundtrack also incorporates some rock/heavy metal and a haunting theme tune (with a melody which should stay with you). After this film, some would say that Argento’s work has deteriorated. Anyway, the excellent camera work, carefully choreographed murder scenes and a few Argentoesque touches of style; make this a must for many horror fans’ DVD collection.! Is it a cut version? Well, not as far as I know; and I noticed a few frames which didn’t seem to be in the VHS tape version (which I owned some years ago). As another reviewer has pointed out, the ending seems somewhat rushed; and I can see that it looks a bit “tacked on”. If you are a horror fan (particularly if keen on Dario Argento films), then this could definitely be - for you..! Enjoy...

A Masterpiece of Style

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

Argento's films have often been called 'operatic', so what better setting for a series of murders than an Italian opera house. The film has fun at the expense of modern opera productions. with its staging of Verdi's 'Macbeth' around a crashed plane, with live ravens landing on the leading lady's shoulders. But the eyes of the ravens hold the clue to the killer, and eventually we are swirling round the theatre from the ravens' viewpoint. Just one of several scenes where the camera floats wonderfully - steadicam tracking along claustrophobic corridors, slow revelations of unspeakable scenes. The film is a glorious display of style from one of cinema's masters.

An O.K Giallo, One of Argento's weaker films!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is an O.K giallo horror but its very much at the weaker end of Dario Argento's films, its really quite slow and tedious, its nowhere near as good as "Tenebre" and "Supiria" etc, or "A Bay Of Blood" by Mario Bava.

Sounds more pleasing just as 'Opera'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Why put 'Terror' in front of the title of this work? A bit like what happened with his film Phenomena calling it 'Creepers', a bit tacky to say the least and then cutting huge chunks out of it??
No, DA's 'Opera' is one of my favorites. I like the way he uses the camera and incidental music like first person perspectives spiraling down staircases, oh and that bit where he shows handing across the dagger and then repeats it - nice touches!! Unfortunetly, like with so many of his films though, the ending seems a little rushed and odd?? Other than that, it is well worth checking out, especially if you are not familiar with his films.
It's a pity he didn't do his third installment of the 'Three Mothers' trilogy around this time as most of his films did degenerate from here on, with one exception in his film 'Trauma' which mixes Italian and American horror film values.
Footnote:- Be careful however in purchasing the film by it's proper title 'Opera' as invariably they are NTSC only; and yes, I did get caught out with this on an earlier purchase!!
