Opera (1987). i am finally starting to see some love in Dario Argento. Before i was too stuck on the forced acting and plot holes and such. After viewing Opera, his movies are more about style, atmosphere, and that creepy and nomadic camera. It is almost as if the characters might detract the viewer from the real artistic flair were they to shine too much. While the stories themselves are rather chunky, the hidden gems are found in some of the crazy imagination that he mixes into these slasher classics. The kills are definitely classic Dario. Ashe.
