Truly Beautiful and Breathtaking
I'm almost at a loss for words... Like others, I didn't think anything could top "Suspiria" but in my opinion, this one does. The two-disc (DVD and soundtrack CD) is another wonderful Anchor Bay package.First of all, the picture is WONDERFUL. Although a 1987 film, it looks like it is a contemporary brand-new picture. It's the cleanest DVD for the Dario Argento films. The sound is very engaging and has total clarity. The fidelity on the soundtrack CD is a bit dated, but is clear and is an added bonus.I'm not going to dwell on what happens in this movie, but be assured that there are so many weird elements in it and they are photographed in style. Only a genius could think of and blend these elements together the way Argento did. The camera angles are superb!Argento usually has a nice-looking female lead in his pictures although they are plain rather than stunningly beautiful. Christina Marsillach is a total beauty, so if you like watching a beautiful woman in a horror film you won't find anyone better.By the way, the Anchor Bay DVD's do not play well on older DVD players. I now own several Anchor Bays, mostly Dario Argento films, and since getting a newer 16x I can play them all.

The most fun you'll have inside an opera house!
One of Argento's most interesting films. It is gorgeously shot, specially inside the opera house, and has a great little gem of an interview with Billy Macnamara not he extras! Bluray picture is great, the best this film has ever looked. I enjoyed it throughly!

Almost what i might think horror porn is
Think Phantom of the Opera but morally ambiguous. There is a back story that is very important to the main heroine. Think of her as our Christine Dae. Her watcher is more sadistic and cruel but no less obsessed. My only gripe is sometimes is the voice over and the lips synching sometimes is not good.

Excellent transfer
I have owned the previous Anchor Bay DVD and a Japanese import LD of this film. The picture & sound blow both of them away! Would have liked more bonus features is my only complaint.

I really like this movie
I really like this movie. I think it's one of Argento's best. The reason I only give it 3 stars is due to the presentation from Scorpion. Anchor Bay did a special two disc (DVD) version which the extras were not included on this blu ray version. I have kept my Anchor Bay DVD version for the extras
