what a total let down . what a huge disappointment . i still can not believe that dario argento be responsible for this hollywood influence piece of garbage . it simply a romance with some splashy gore thrown in . all of argento trademark be go here representno cool camera angle and no goblin music and no playing with color and no black gloved killer and no bizarre dreamlike sequence and and bad of all and absolutely no suspense . the direction be very flat and the acting be horrible and the character be not interest at all . the gore scene be well do and but the film be extremely boring . all in all and phantom of the opera be pretty hard to sit through since it be so lame and unscary . i wouldn not be able to watch this trash again . i only hope that argento next horror project i can not sleep will be really worth watch . avoid il fantasma dellopera like the plague . good watch suspiria or deep red again . not recommend .
