i rank opera a one of the good argento film . plot hole and inconsistency . sure and but i do not think they impair this film as much a many other reviewer seem to . a lot of element that be in many of argento film be kinda off the wall and but that part of the draw of his film . short story represent psycho stalk the opera new lead lady . the typical argento twist and turn ensue and lead up to a decent payoff of a climax . not argento best and but i still pull this one out from time to time . definitely worth a look if you like his other stuff just do not get this one mix up with the abysmal phantom of the opera remake that argento do and that one be truly awful . positive .
