Not one of Argento's best, but still worth viewing for fans of the genre. Operas greatest assets are the excellent production values and some jaw-dropping kills, as well as Dario's usual craftsmanship behind the camera. However the film is diminished by bland characters and a horribly dated 80's hard rock soundtrack that plays during many of the films key horror scenes, all but ruining the suspense. Opera also suffers from a terrible end segment that feels more than a little tacked on, which is a shame because the intense climax was one of the films standout moments. As I mentioned before fans of the genre will probably be pleased, just don't go in suspecting Susparia 2.
