This film comes to us from Dario Argento, director of Deep Red (1975), which I thought was a very overrated horror film with many problems, Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980), Tenebrae (1982), which I also think is way too overrated of a horror film, Phenomema (1985), which I thought was an amazing horror film with a committed lead performance from a young Jennifer Connelly, Trauma (1996), Mother of Tears (2006) and Giallo (2009). The film was made for $8 million.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::So, what did I think of Opera? I used to think this was a good film, but it really is quite bad in my opinion, and wasn't thrilling in the slightest. I actually laughed quite a bit, so at least I wasn't bored. I thought all of the acting was pretty terrible. I thought the original musical score from Claudio Simonetti was a mixed bag, in that the music during the opera sequences was beautiful and the music during the death scenes were a tonal whiplash from the rest of the film. I thought the gore effects were pretty good for the most part, and my favorite kill was the door gun kill. I would love to know how they shot it. This film is considered a horror classic by many, and I really don't understand why. It really wasnt well acted, the dialogue was very tell don't show, the music took away a lot of the tension and in general and I just all around found it not that good. The film does have its positives, such as the gore, the cinematography and the opera music. There really isn't much else I can say than that. I give the film a 2.5/5 stars.
