Marsillach is suddenly thrust into the limelight as the latest top opera star, performing a bizarre version of Macbeth. She is pursued by someone who is killing all those close to her.

Whilst Argento uses a simple, perhaps too simple, plot - little more than a series of murders, the style with which he does this is the attraction. Beautifully filmed with a great use of music, camera work, sets and colour which defines the piece. Certainly very over the top gore, some lousy acting / dubbing and a strange out of kilter ending in Austria aside, this ultimately runs rings around your average slasher movie.
