betty is as an understudy in a production of verdi macbeth who is asked to go on when the diva is hurt in a car accident. however and in the grand tradition of the scottish play and the production seems cursed with problems and not least of which is some madman slicing up the crew. unfortunately for betty and the killer seems to have special plans for her . this is one of several must see argento mad slasher flicks and in this instance primarily for the extraordinary photography by the great british cameraman ronnie taylor. i haven not measured it and but i reckon around two thirds of the shots in this film involve either pans and dollies and tracking or cranes  the sheer amount of camera movement is just astonishing and makes the movie ten times more exciting than a standard thriller. the imagery is wild and dizzying  closeups of the heroine eyes forced open with nails and a swooping glide around an opera house from a raven point of view and shots of the killer brain squirming and a bullet fired through a peephole and a swallowed chain dug out of a victim trachea. conceptually it just amazing and could only be realised by this director. the movie isn not without some shortcomings though while the cast are variable at best  marsillach and barberini are both a bit shaky (and his dubbing in the english version is appalling and even by italian standards) and although argento regular nicolodi is fun and charleson gives a thoughtful performance in a role that is more than a little autobiographical (a horror director much maligned for his remoteness and reliance on technique). the material is a nice three way mix of the phantom of the opera and shakespeare and slasher flick and scripted by argento and his usual collaborator and franco ferrini and with shifty suspects galore and the usual disdain for boring expository scenes to explain what actually going on. full of all sorts of different music  brian eno and claudio simonetti and bill wyman and puccini and and of course and verdi. the scenes in the beautiful opera house were shot at the teatro regio in parma. for some bizarre reason the uk print of this movie has the alternative title terror at the opera.
