Scorpion Releasing hits a high note with OPERA (review)

Dario Argento takes to the opera stage for an aria of violence in his 1987 gory thriller about a young understudy who makes her debut in the female lead of Verdi's Macbeth, a play that brings bad luck.  Soon after, her friends are being murdered by a vicious killer who makes her watch them die.
