Normally, I'm one of the very few people who defends the Italian horror master Dario Argento. Sure his stories are rather silly, and the plots are questionable at best. But no one can question how cool the gore scenes are and how scary he films certain moments. So far, I've seen Suspiria, Phenomenon (I don't know how old Jennifer Connelly was in this movie, but damn was she hot), Tenebre, Deep Red, and finally to the film of discussion, Opera.
I almost bought the Limited Edition sight unseen, but I'm glad I didn't. Out of all the Argento horror films, this one I like the least. I have but a few plot and/or story questions.
1. Why didn't she call the police after the first murder?
- As good looking as the girl opera singer is, that's NO EXCUSE for not going to the police after seeing your boyfriend stabbed throught he jaw. I'm not quite sold on the fact that the ending explains her motivations.
2. Why did the end show her among the flowers?
- Really, was Argento trying to be French for a moment here?
3. Why is the seamstress stupid?
- If you've seen the scene, you know what I'm talking about.
4. Why didn't the opera singer get naked?
- just kidding on this one folks
5. What was the purpose of her throwing the pillow out of the window?
- She just needed to open the window to distract the killer, but why throw out the pillow as well?
I've got more, but that's all memory allows. Got finals coming up y'know.
