CultFilms 2k Restoration of Dario Argento’s Opera!!
Italy’s Horror Icon Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) returns to CultFilms with Opera.
.
.
When young understudy Betty takes the lead role in a new operatic production of
Verdi’s Macbeth, she soon attracts the attention of a knife-wielding psycho who forces
her to watch – with eyes pinned open – as he brutally despatches her friends and
colleagues with sadistic delight. Can Betty free herself from this unending nightmare or
does a more terrifying fate await? OPERA is a ravishing return to the giallo style
Argento made his name with, awash with black-gloved killers, lavish bloodletting and
the director’s expressionistic Grand Guignol excess.
