"Opera" has a very nice and different start and isn't your typical giallo. It's faster and filled with more tension. Sadly, the whole premise of the murders (after the first one) is kind of dumb and detracts from the movie's effort to be scary. It improves a bit after the third murder, when we get a very thrilling set of scenes. Unfortunately, the movie never reaches brilliance as some performances even become cheesy and we are lacking a sympathy for the main character who sometimes acts/seems dumber than she really is. Music is nice. And the movie itself is shot beautifully. But it's main fault is the interaction with the killer. It would have been a lot better movie if the killer remained a completely mysterious figure. Still, it's a decent fun for a horror movie fan and maybe for somebody looking for a nice thriller. 7/10! Not perfect, but good enough for some fun.
