Everything seems to be magically aligning for Betty, the understudy to high maintenance Mara. When Mara's luck falls, Betty's is on the up. Now, she will be playing the part of Lady Macbeth in the play Macbeth. This play has an uncanny malevolent history. Thus seeping into the plot of Opera. A shrouded black glove killer has his eyes set on Betty. With opening night comes the first victim at chance. Who will be up next, perhaps Betty? Tune in and find out! Absolute brilliant use of angles. Beautiful settings, and intense direction by Argento! Great casting, crazy kills, and unnerving use of torture. The eye traps, yikes! Overall I enjoyed the mystery and the soundtrack. I have to say the suspense in the sequence when the ravens get their victory was amazing! Great twist!
8/10
