Scarecrowber: Opera (4K Restoration)
October 18 - 28, 2024
Italian horror maestro Dario Argento, working at the height of his powers, conducts this fittingly grandiose and lavish thriller, filled with gorgeous, sweeping camerawork and startlingly gruesome murder set pieces. If you’ve only ever seen Suspiria, you owe it to yourself to see what sights the maestro has yet to show. —Daniel

There’s nothing else like Opera. After the artistic highs of Tenebre and Phenemona, Dario Argento (Suspiria) was on a mission to make the most accomplished giallo of his career. And that’s exactly what he did. Opera follows Betty, the star of an avant-garde production of Macbeth, as she deals with a black-gloved maniac on a mutilation spree at the opera house. With its ultra-stylized photography, complex metaphors, and intense violence, Opera is a brilliantly deranged spectacle—and the most breathtaking horror experience of 1987.
